My life with my Pilot

I have had my 2006 Honda Pilot since it was new. When I bought it I was a single-dad with three kids, none of them driving. This was the perfect car to take them and their friends to sport practices, scouting and to school. This was also a great car on vacations. This care never let me down. In 185,000 miles this car never broke down once and does not leak oil. The engine is as strong today as when I bought it. Overall a GREAT car!

Oir Honda Pilot is the best. It is so versatile and big yet drives like a small car. We have never brought the car into a repair shop for anything more than scheduled maintenance. I swear this car will run for ever. The interior has supportive seats and after 100k there is not a tear in the drivers seat leather not even wore out. Really good on the snow stability control barges in exactly when u need it. It is really just like a box so visibility is crazy good. Rearward visibility is as good as it gets with a back up camera. The only feature I would like on this pilot is just a little more horse power and torque it never feels stressed but I just LOVE power.

I like my 06 Honda Pilot yes it is older but the car only has 80,000 miles on it and the engine seems to always knock it is embarrassing the car is great inside runs well but people look at my car when it's idle because of the loud knocking of the engine I have researched the problem and turns out a lot of people have this problem on this car other than that I love my pilot!

2006 honda pilot LX 4WD

I purchase my suv brand new...After putting 76k miles the car still drives really good. Just the regular maintenance and haven't have any problems. I notice a few a bad reviews about the SUV. Would it be possible that previous owner did a bad job on maintenance. I always follow the maintenance minder which saves me a lot of money. Sometimes dealership want you offer all this extra maintenance which does not require you to do it. I used to drive a X5 but the maintenance and gas killed me. I have no kids but i always enjoy driving SUV. A friend of mine drives a 2006 LEXUS GX470. I still like the ride on my awesome PILOT.

Window mechanisms are TRASH!!!!

Purchased our 2006 Pilot EX-L used in 2014 with 119k miles. Great car for around town, road trips and home depot 😂. The engine is great and the leather interior is nice. What’s HORRIBLE are all four windows. They take turns falling down in the door frame without notice. We’ve had to replace a four a couple of times. Our auto glass place said what holds up the glass is CRAP! Even the Honda dealer only gives a one year guarantee on the replacement. Seriously!!! We have never experienced anything like this with a car. There are plenty of complaints about this on the internet, even a failed class action lawsuit, but Honda won’t admit there is an issue and they won’t take any responsibility for it. Oh, but they will charge $400 per window to fix it until if fails again.
