FANTASTIC RELIABILITY & SAFETY
Owned for 7 years and NEVER had anything malfunction. Was rear ended by a new Ford Explorer and I was able to drive the Pilot safely away after a 60+mph impact which destroyed the Ford. I was unharmed; unfortunately the person who hit me had to be extricated and was injured. The Pilot's cabin was NOT compromised and the rear window did not break. THIS is the type of 3rd row build you want with kids in a car! I will be getting a new Pilot soon - it did nearly $14k damage to the old one and over $32k to the Ford Explorer. Someone will salvage the old Pilot as it still runs like a champ. This car NEVER had to go in for any repair whatsoever prior to getting rear-ended - nothing! I've owned a lot of vehicles but this Pilot epitomizes RELIABILITY and SAFETY. Just check iihs for safety ratings.

Very good vehicle
We bought new in 12/2009, so have had for 3.5 years and only have 30k miles on, so mostly city driving. Never been in the shop except for oil and tires. Tires are 60k Michelins that wore out at 28k, but Michelin prorated replacement. It is a well thought out car when compared to competitors and much better value than the competitors. Engine is adequate, but certainly not a V8. Mileage is a little below represented, but likely 10% Ethanol in Gas is largely to blame. Thanks government. Get 21 Hwy and 16 City. Very stable on Hwy and great in snow. Third row is great and large carrying capacity when both rows down. Would definitely purchase again.

Not what I hoped for
This was our first Honda Pilot. We wanted a large safe vehicle for a new family. I have owned this vehicle for 6 years and it has just over 100k miles. The armrest on the door and center consoles have ripped some time ago, just as others have stated. We are not rough with our vehicle. Our CD changer no longer works and I've already had to rebuild the transmission. We had a really weird issue where the batteries kept dying and found that a relay for the air conditioning unit was getting stuck. Various mechanics and the dealer could not find this issue costing as few hundred dollars, thank goodness for the piloteer blog. The vehicle just started to develop a strange noise at the right passenger front tire. The inside of the cabin is not very quiet. The glove box won't open any more. The fake Chrome on the grill has started to peel. I'm so disappointed with my first experience with a Honda Pilot. The quality of materials is so poor . The best part is the cargo space.

Disappointed
I purchased my first Honda in 1985; I have purchased one every 5 years since. Once purchased, I never had to worry outside of routine maintenance. Around the year 2000 I started noticing minor issues and a decline in the fit and finish. The dealership would always pooh pooh my concerns and never find anything wrong. I purchased a 2005 Pilot 6/05 that developed major electrical problems at 100k miles. I traded it for a 2010 Pilot 3/10. I had it in the shop 3 times the first 3 weeks, 6 times the first 6 months. The blew me off with the sunroof issue. Now I have electrical problems, the drivers door won't open and close properly, the list goes on.
Great car for business and family travel
Selected car for inside room and ride since I travel a lot. It compared with Lincoln Towncar for ride, since it isn't around any more. Car is great buy, I have company car now and do not need it anymore. Great car!
