Used 2006 Honda Pilot Consumer Reviews
Outstanding SUV
I test drove a number of SUVs before settling on the Pilot. It's an outstanding value. It provides plenty of space for the kids and their friends, has great safety features and ratings, and gets decent gas mileage for its size. I have been very pleased so far.
Great family vehicle
We had an 03 Pilot 4wd with 50,000. Totally truouble free, but so many more features on the 06 with no extra cost! Especially like the new safety features, the voice navigation (with great voice calendar option) the sliding third row so taller kids can now be comfortable in back, etc... We are not yet getting comparable mileage - used to get 17.5, now at 16, but only have 1500 miles on it so far.

Typical Honda quality
I had to add a trailer hitch by the dealer (I needed it to tow my 2005 Goldwing) and I had to buy a real spare tire (I will buy a better quality of tire when I replace these Goodyears) and rear mud flaps. With that said, it is an outstanding running car. Most of the time it is in the eco mode (3 cyclinders). The visibility is outstanding (it is my wife's car). The GPS is great and so is the XM stations. I miss the automatic seat adjustments that my Acura has. Honda could add a few little items that would make their customers happier without stepping on their Acura brand
What you'd expect from Honda
I went from a 2 row 4Runner to an EX Pilot, cloth interior. Very spacious and well laid out interior. Build quality, materials, and overall feel of the car is superb. Third row seat is surprisingly roomy. I love the maneuverability of the 2nd row seat to accomodate either seating in the 2nd row (recline feature) or 3rd row passengers (moving 2nd row forward). Big plusses are fuel economy with VCM (24mpg highway) and safety features. Pilot is 5 star all around in safety. Road manners are smooth and predictable. Engine is quiet, powerful, and refined, although a bit lacking in torque when compared to the 4.0L from Toyota. I recommend going with EX over LX, if possible.
Love it !!!!!!!!!!!
I just wanted everyone to know how great this suv is. I can't believe the room inside and I just got back from a trip to pa from sa texas and got an average of 27.2 Miles per gal. Thats loaded with 2 adults and 3 kids plus luggage.
