Used 2006 Honda Pilot Consumer Reviews
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!
Great Mid Size SUV
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.
Love it
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.
