I bought this vehicle at 60,000 miles. At first everything was great. I got up to about 130,000 miles mostly highway. I constantly had to replace BRAKES/ROTORS/CALIPERS. Gets worse. My ATM/ VSA/ BRAKE/ EMERGENCY BRAKE/ ABS are all on the dash. I have replaced all new ABS wheel sensors, new battery terminals, flushed the brake system. So the last thing it could be is a ABS module(which Im not spending another $500-$1,000 on this SUV, i rather scrap it) and I'm highly upset my 4x4 is failing too. Not to mention I had the electrical issues where the dash and the inside lights would go crazy. I no longer have that issue. If your looking for 4x4 don't consider a pilot 4x4 is only engaged under 20mph. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SUV especially USED. Probably wholesale.

I upgraded from a 2005 CRV because my lease was up(we also had a baby on the way, and I am not a big fan of the new Pilots), and I could not be happier with this SUV. I am fairly short and with the 8 way power seat,it is very comfortable for me to drive. My biggest complaint is the lack of rear space when the 3rd row is up. It is also hard to get car seats in/out of the 3rd row. My husband would like for it to have a telescoping steering wheel and I wish the SE came standard w/a leather wrapped steering wheel. We will definitely consider buying this one when the lease is up next year.

Got my 08 pilot and thought I was going to love it like all of the other Honda products I bought in past years. But it turns out, I was pretty disappointed. The suspension is too mushy to tackle anything off-road, I don't know why everyone raves about Honda's interior fit & finish, because the Pilot's is horrible. Also, there is a lot of tire noise and a horrible rattle in the passenger side door.
Great ride

We received our Pilot LX 2WD May 30 after returning our Mazda MPV. I have to say not having a minivan is nice. I don't think we sacrificed anything except indoor parking. The width of the Pilot is about 6 inches wider than our old van was but is a much finer vehicle. Still good for carpool but has the added power needed to accelerate and overtake. On the whole, with all incentives, this was a great purchase. I think it looks nicer than the new 2009.
