Great Car - Great Dealer

2012 Honda Pilot Touring 4dr SUV w/Nav, Rear Entertainment (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
SUV is awesome, i got this for my wife but i am always stealing it on her. Back-up cam and NAV are great. Moon roof is great especially in summer. I drove some big executives that normally drive Mercedes and Lexus, to a golf tournament this summer and they were blown away by the Pilot. I got this SUV through DCH Honda in Paramus, great group of people over there. They offered me the most … competitive price around, without any haggling. The process was quick, painless and everyone was very pleasant. If you like Honda's and want to make sure you are taken care of fairly and by a car dealer you can trust, do yourself a favor and go straight to DCH Paramus.
Road trip

2012 Honda Pilot Touring 4dr SUV w/Nav, Rear Entertainment (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Just got back from a 4100 mile road trip through 5 states with 3 kids my wife and I. The Pilot was roomy enough and handled very well. I was impressed having owned suburbans and excursions before. Gas mileage was good. I don't like the way audio controls are set up and that you can't dim the dashboard lights at night, Honda should change these things. The seats were uncomfortable after … 10 hours of driving but I don't know many seats that would be. But if something can be done ,please change it.
Great overall.

Hmm. Let me think what problems are wrong. ENGINE IS VERY LOUD! HAS NO GETUP! SHUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING! PARTS IN THE INSIDE ARE FALLING APART! I have taken care of the pilot but it is built cheap! It is reliable though but not quiet like a ford.
Can't Shut Off All the Beeps!!!

I've owned this car for quite a while and although it’s a sturdy and dependable car - everything beeps and you can't shut it off. Every time you press any button there is automatic auto feedback - you know - I've realized that I've pushed a button and I don't need the car to tell me. Also, the beeps are very loud and there is no way to adjust the volume or to shut off the function. … So, I wind up not using most of the stuff because it just beeps all the time. I use my iphone instead. Honda should fire the engineer that designed all the beeps you can't shut off. As an update to this review, I haven’t found a way to shut off the beeps. I would not recommend this car and wish I never bought it.
