2008 Honda Pilot Special Edition 4dr SUV 4WD (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful

This car was purchased for my wife as she is in sales and travels far, getting caught is bad weather was a constant in the northeast. This SUV never disappointed ever, as I felt she was safe in a Honda. It is still used as my sole vehicles as the weekender, since it seats seven it is the vehicle of choice to go out with family and friends. The entertainment center kept the kids entertained on long trips and the cargo held all shopping, vacation and household projects gear. Proper maintenance, normal wear and tear all expected nothing too costly. My only complaints are road noise inside the vehicle, and now that we are older third row seating is difficult to get in and out of. This was my first Honda and has been a great purchase. I am now looking into another seven passenger vehicle with higher gas mileage(Hybrid?),quieter, and with easier third row access with increased leg room as everyone is now older.

Built like a tank. Very sturdy. Bought in 2008 , no repairs required yet just routine maintenance. Paint and interior look brand new 8 years later. Great SUV

Lots to love about a Pilot

I've owned respectively a Rambler, a Honda Civic, a VW Golf, a Prius, Smart Car, Toyota Yaris and NoW the grand mamoo of all ----the Honda Pilot. What a joy! I feel like a princess and a cowgirl. My dreams of comfort, safety, reliability, and handling have all been met. Probably won't need a husband again! And there's an eco-button which averages around 33 mpg. Does it get better for me than that? Get in and get up up and away. I took a road trip within 2 months of buying it used.

Upholstery the WORST ever

We have the 2008 Honda Pilot with fabric seats. This upholstery is hideous. There is no way to keep it clean and/or stain free and EVERYTHING (even water) causes stains that are next to impossible to remove--even by a professional. We are so disappointed by Honda. We love the car, but each time we get in and have to sit on and look at this nasty upholstery, the loves lessens a bit.

2008 Pilot review

2008 Honda Pilot EX-L 4dr SUV w/Navigation (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
10 of 12 people found this review helpful

Just purchased a '08 EX-L Pilot with Nav to use as a third car. Car drives really well and will work great as a puppy hauler and road trip car. I typically stay away from Honda's and this is my first in some time. Good cars, but generally far too sterile, uninspired styling, and lacking in performance for my tastes. Zero issues so far and I especially enjoy the leather and back up camera. I have been very unimpressed with Acura/Honda Nav systems so we'll see how this does over time.
