Used 2006 Honda Pilot Consumer Reviews
Mixed feelings about this Vehicle
Plus points: Very comfortable ride, smooth acceleration. Good navigation system.
Atrocious Gas Mileage (13 - 15 City)
Overall we are a little disappointed with our Honda Pilot EX=L. This is our first Japanese vehicle - recently converting from domestic vehicles due to excessive ongoing maintenance costs, and being persuaded by the constant rave reviews of Japanese cars by the Motoring media. Gas mileage is not even close to what they claim - even with variable cylinder management. The transmission cannot handle city driving - making it necessary to drive around in 3rd gear unless on the highway. Also, ride is not that great - very truck like. On a positive note, the fit and finish is pretty good (although we did have a broken grab handle on delivery)and the interior is spacious and comfortable.

Needs Better Paint
I love my Honda Pilot, but not happy with the PAINT job. The paint on the bumper started coming off in less than a month after we bought it. I have noticed little chips in the paint along with little dings. The pilot drives very smooth, more like a car, and very roomy inside.
Think before you buy
Overall a very good SUV. My major complaint is the poor legroom. Honda put a 3rd seat in the back, and the front legroom was shortened. I am tall, and can't come close to stretching out my legs on either the drivers or passenger side. A long trip would be a strain. This car is for my Wife, and she fits fine. There are also air leaks around the doors, and the inside is noisy. It will go back to the dealer soon for repair.
best suv ever by far
This is a Honda product! This means that the reliability is the best, the value is great and performance is the top of the line. This SUV drives like a car and carries up to 8 passengers, safety is 100%!! So Great!!!
