Beware of the xm ready feature

One of the best autos I've purchased, with one exception. Honda really scams you on the xm ready radio feature. Myself already a consumer of xm radio I thought all I had to do was get my subscription transferred. Wrong! The xm ready feature means for approx. $600.00 us dollars you have to pay for the hardware you then will be xm ready. Contacted Honda and they really didn't care what I thought. Because I had already purchased my pilot.

Great 8 Passenger Compromise

Our Pilot is a great compromise between a mini-van and a large SUV. We wanted three rows of seating, with enough room in the third to accomodate teens for rides of up to one hour. Handling and ride are car-like, ergonomics are good, interior design is simple and attractive and the vehicle is comfortable for 4-6 persons, at least long enough to get everyone to sports practice. Six-airbag setup was a must and is standard. Mileage with the Pilot is merely OK (17 mpg in town and 24 mpg at a steady 80 mph. If you regularly haul more than 5 for long periods of time, look at a larger minivan instead.

Second Pilot

The only reason why I gave up my '05 Pilot was because of the additional safety features added in '06. I also opted for the Nav as well. The only 2 shortcomings as I see it are lack of "daylight" lights as found in other '06 Hondas and lower gas miles than the '05 I returned. You just can't beat the utility, reliability and fun that the Pilot gives - a perfect family car!

My Pilot rides just like a car. Handles well around turns and is a joy to drive. It even gets the MPG it says on the sticker! Great buy.

Got my SUV 3/06 and I love it. My husband and I are expecting our second child and wanted something with space but didn't want a caravan. This definitely will do the job. Very spacious third row. Second row easily fits 2 car seats with plenty of space. It has great crash testing ratings which was a big factor for me. I can't say enough about this except it was worth every penny.
