Honda is supposed to be one of the best for value and reliability but my experience with two Honda Pilots has shown me that this brand is just average at best. My first Pilot a 2008 blew the engine at 70,000 miles (no one believed that could happen with a Honda but it did!). We replaced with a 2013 that is developing a long list of repairs already at 70,000 miles. Both were/are faithfully serviced at the dealer. My enthusiasm for Honda Pilots is definitely not as positive as it used to be.

We bought our 2013 used in 2014. It was a great car. Very little problems, normal repairs brakes tires etc. I never noticed the problems others seem to have with ECO. I loved the heated seats, the lift-gate, and being able to record CDS to play back. When the grandkids wanted Trolls there it was. The radio controls were easy to use as well as the heating and air. The lumbar adjustment was so nice. seats comfortable. Great to lay down the seats and have room to haul things. I carried my grandkids a lot and adults could fit in the back too. Unfortunately we were rear-ended and it was totaled. I was planning on keeping it many years. We are having a hard time replacing it-- trying to find something as good as this car was.

The steering is a little too quick to suit me. There is logic built in to the key buttons that lowers the windows and sunroof partially when buttons are pushed in certain sequence(which I have never figured out). To return to your Pilot in the rain and find windows and sunroof partially open is a real bummer. The horizontal trim on the outside of front doors is very easy to chip when the car next to you is careless with their door openings(different material needed?). The parts man suggested touch-up paint as solution(not a good solution). Love the body shape and roominess.

I drove this vehicle for four years and never for a moment had any regrets. The leather interior was Labrador friendly - easy to clean. All three seating areas are comfortable. I really liked having the shifter above the console, leaving room for my bag. The cargo area is cavernous with the third row of seats flat. I would not have traded, but I fell for the new Pilot and the new safety features. The only thing I would like to have had on my 2013 and my new one is a rear facing laser to vaporize the fools who drive with their heads in the clouds or their phones or where ever their heads are that they cannot see another vehicle in their immediate path! There are multiple rearend collisions daily on one busy street!

I bought my first new car ever. That being a 2013 Honda Pilot exl. I did much of the same research on here and still decided on the Honda. I will say it is not as stylish as the others. However, there are a few great things to be said about the SUV. Gas mileage averaging 22.5 in the city. I drive mainly in the city. Nice heavy duty plastics used. Not cheap materials like the rest. No squeaks and rattles. The seats are very comfortible in the front and rear with plenty of leg room. Finally, it has more than enough power. I promise! I have yet to find a situation that I have needed a 300hp or twin turbo motor. This is a utility vehicle. I have owned 50 plus cars,tr
