My life with my Pilot

I have had my 2006 Honda Pilot since it was new. When I bought it I was a single-dad with three kids, none of them driving. This was the perfect car to take them and their friends to sport practices, scouting and to school. This was also a great car on vacations. This care never let me down. In 185,000 miles this car never broke down once and does not leak oil. The engine is as strong today as when I bought it. Overall a GREAT car!

Purchased our 2006 Pilot EX-L used in 2014 with 119k miles. Great car for around town, road trips and home depot 😂. The engine is great and the leather interior is nice. What’s HORRIBLE are all four windows. They take turns falling down in the door frame without notice. We’ve had to replace a four a couple of times. Our auto glass place said what holds up the glass is CRAP! Even the Honda dealer only gives a one year guarantee on the replacement. Seriously!!! We have never experienced anything like this with a car. There are plenty of complaints about this on the internet, even a failed class action lawsuit, but Honda won’t admit there is an issue and they won’t take any responsibility for it. Oh, but they will charge $400 per window to fix it until if fails again.

Bought my pilot in 2017. 2006 pilot with 90k miles. Almost 3 years later sitting on 155000 miles. Vehicle has been outstanding with reliability considering it's been in 3 accidents prior to purchase. Only problem was a/c went out last year and radiator had a leak so had it replaced. Besides that vehicle has been great. Maybe should have bought a Toyota but is the next best candidate especially for the price I paid. No complaints. Actually only complaint is the dam catalytic converter. Won't be replacing but mine is shot. Will run this thing into the ground. No matter how long it takes. And I expect it to be a while.

love it

I love pretty much everything about this car. It is a great alternative for those of us who don't want to drive a mini-van but still want to have all that room and comfort. Great space inside. I have sat in the third row with my son on an hour and a half drive and it was okay. I do not suggest any longer than that for adults, but plenty of space for the wee ones. I love the gear shift on the steering column, it frees up the center console for other things like my purse. It is a very comfortable car to drive and I drive over an hour to work. I love the fact that the second row of seats recline, it makes it so much more comfortable on a long drive.
