Great vehicle

2011 Honda Pilot Touring 4dr SUV w/Nav, Rear Entertainment (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Recently purchased 2011 Pilot Touring for my wife. She loves the vehicle. Drives great, quiet inside, great technology with the NAV and voice recognition system. Contrary to some of the reviews, the seats are very comfortable and we do not notice any engine shifting when in ECO mode. The RES is fantastic particularly given the fact that the kids can operate it from the back. In fact, they can change the stations on the radio from the rear seats which saves us from having to surf their preferred channels (and when it gets too much, we lock out their controls). We have owned a Range Rover and GMC Yukon in the past and quite frankly, we are enjoying the Pilot more.

It's a GOOD SUV

Bought back in 2012 with 45k on it, has about ~80k now. Very reliable, all I've done is perform scheduled maintenance. Gets around 19 mpg but if driving with a light foot you can get around 22 avg. I love the ECO mode that will switch the engine to 4 cyl when driving on highways. I just the rear had A/C vents in the roof as opposed to having them at knee-level. It's a Honda, so I EXPECT it to last for years to come! Great car, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good reliable SUV. One thing that is weird that might be unique to mine is that the buttons on the radio will occasionally not work, but the volume and tune nobs work fine.

2011 Pilot Update

After striking a deer with the 2005 pilot my wife decided on another a 2011. Its bigger and definitely more comfortable, excellent ride even when your in the car for more than 8 hours, quiet inside climate control keeps the inside cool. Fuel mileage isn't bad for the size of the vehicle. Entertainment system works well for all the rear passengers.

I've got the peeling paint blues

I've got an appointment to take my Pilot in a few weeks for peeling back bumper. What's up with that? I've been a loyal Honda owner for over 20 years and I've never had an issue with the paint peeling. For the most part I love my Pilot. For me it's much more comfortable then my 2007 CR-V was.

Great Family Vehicle

Best vehicle I've owned! I've had my Pilot for 9yrs now and still purposeful. I've put a lot of miles on my Pilot from all the road trips and family vacations and still going strong. Great room, cold a/c, entertainment pkg is a life saver. Never any major mechanical issues just normal updates. Would definitely recommend to a family.
