Great SUV with a few quirks

The 2010 Pilot is a pretty good vehicle overall with just a few minor quirks. I will say first that I find the official Edmunds review on this car to be a bit harsh. Even with almost 150,000 miles I find mine to be a solid, good performing vehicle. Acceleration is pretty good (albeit with one person inside - I haven't had five passengers plus a boat behind me - just to be fair). Braking isn't anything special but I never feel unsafe or doubt this vehicle's ability to stop. It handles like it's as big as it is, no getting around that. Even with the miles it has it rides very well. I like the almost 23 mpg on the highway too. As soon as you hit cruising speed it shuts down several cylinders and saves you gas, unless you're going like 80, then it requires all 6. Cargo capacity is cavernous, and I love the rear glass that opens separately. I plan to stick a kayak in the back later this year! I like the white 3D gauges too - I know they are a bit controversial, depending on who you ask. My complaints are relatively few. I do think the interior materials could be improved a bit. The dash materials are a bit hard with some bad gaps. If it were an entry level Kia I wouldn't say anything, but for a vehicle that approached $40k new it's a bit of a turn off. The green trim around the radio looks nice in pictures on Edmunds, but it's starting to crack and fall off on my Pilot. I also don't particularly like where the gear selector is. I smack my hand on it a lot if I'm not careful. The sound system is decent, but I have the DVD package, and therefore the upgraded audio with additional speakers, and thought it might be just a bit better. The transmission in in my vehicle also shifts a bit rough, especially into overdrive at highway speeds. I plan to investigate that further soon and will update if needed. In my case I bought my car with a great warranty, even at its age, but definitely check this out if you're looking at one. This car is my secondary, kayak hauler, beater, foul weather, trip to the lumber store vehicle, not necessarily my daily driver, or so I thought. I actually drive it more than I intended to, because I enjoy it that much. If you're looking for an older SUV this is a great choice overall. I'll also say that I enjoy the boxy styling, unlike the newer Pilots and most other crossovers these days. Definitely put this one on your list!

The 2010 Honda Pilot Touring model has been a joy in my life! Beautiful, safe, 24 mpg highway, 20 around town, solid and reliable. I have done the regular oil changes, tire rotations and brake jobs. Love this vehicle!

First SUV

Love, love love this truck. It was my first SUV and it was the perfect fit for my family. Plenty of room for a growing family and perfect for vacations. A couple of problems here and there, but I was able to get close to 215,000 miles in 8 years out of this vehicle. I believe I could have gotten a little more mileage from the truck but it was starting to need repairs and I thought it was best to trade it in.

Best SUV for the Money!

My wife and I were trying to decide between the 2010 Pilot Touring and the Buick Enclave EXL. The Enclave is nicer to look at than the Pilot but a bit too expensive (EXL w/o Nav or DVD $39k). The Pilot Touring model with Nav, DVD, Bluetooth, and HFL cost us $36k so we went with the more cost effective option. We are very glad we made this decision because it rides beautifully and the 3 kids absolutely love the new toy! It gets about the same gas mileage as our old 2000 Odyssey so we're not too concerned. I'll be adding the after- market chrome running boards and chrome mesh grill next week to make it prettier. If you're gonna buy a Pilot, the Touring model is the way to go!
Look at rust on tailgate due it inferior materials

I bought this 2010 Pilot new and it seemed to be the best car I have ever owned. It runs very well and I love the size and features it came with. A few years of owning it I received a letter from Honda that stated its supplier used dissimilar metals in the rivets. This will cause the tailgate to rust prematurely so they added a 7 year warranty. Sure enough my tailgate had rust bubbling through the paint just after reading the TSB at a place that a car shouldn't even rust. I had it repaired and it looked great. Just after the warranty expired the rust came back FAST. I called Honda and they will do nothing about it now. They "fixed" it to last just past the warranty and now I am stuck with a rusty tailgate due to Honda's cheap discount .01 rivets. I thought they had a lifelong customer but their customer service changed my mind. Update. Rust really coming though. Looks like the old Hondas from the late 70’s.
