Used 2006 Honda Pilot Consumer Reviews
Good Mountain Car
This is a great all around SUV for hikers and skiers. We bought it to replace a very unreliable Lincoln Navigator and haven't been disappointed. It is very capable in the ice and snow; even with the stock Bridgestone Dueller HT tires (I can't wait to put a set of Cross-Terrains on it). It seats five comfortably, with plenty of cargo room. The third row seat really is only suitable for kids. Performance is adequate. Gas mileage could be better, although it isn't all that bad for an AWD. It will tow a light trailer or boat to the mountains or the beach. Our biggest complaint is with the seats. They just aren't very comfortable during long (over four hours)trips.
Awesome
After much research we decided to move from a CR-V to a Pilot. It is awsome. Rides like a car! We have had other SUVs and non have the ride of the Pilot.

I love this vehicle!!!
I just picked up my Pilot on 8/3/06. I was driving a Chevy Tracker 01 before this and WOW what a change. It is so nice to drive a car that does not feel like it is going to fall apart when using the air conditioning and keeping with traffic on the highways. While driving the Pilot, I feel very safe as well as comfortable. I love it!!
Chick Truck
Wifee wanted it, I did the research, price was right, I got it. Pilot had a few non-mechanical problems on delivery that the dealer quickly fix. This is our first Honda and first "truck" and we are concerned about the number of internal squeaks. Considered the MDX and Toureag but could not justify the additional $10K that these vechicles would have cost. For now, she likes it, I can live with it.
Nice car, poor gas mileage
I like the Pilot very much--it is quiet, tight and fun to drive, but the mileage I am getting is way under what Honda publishes. I have had the car for about 6 weeks now and I am averaging about 14 miles a gallon!!! I am not a "lead foot" kind of driver. I averaged 18 mpg in my last car, a 2000 Ford Windstar (which is not known for great mileage). When I complained to the dealership, I was told that many Pilot buyers had similar complaints. Had I known the mileage was this low, I would have considered another vehicle.
