Base Model Pilot Still a Lovable Vehicle

I purchase my 2013 Pilot LX having some regrets for not getting the 4wd model and a sun roof. I have since changed my mind. I like the spacious interior, solid ride and more than adequate pick up on the highway or when I need it. The seat adjustment gives me a high ride and excellent visibility. Spacious cargo space with the seats down. I love my Pilot.

If you love dumping money into your vehicles this model is for you, the pilot is a roomy well designed SUV... However Honda will not back up the faulty rings on their engines... costing you about 5500$ and as for the paint primer problems anywhere from 3000-15000 $ on a paint job

Not only do you get a great ride but you can carry all your stuff with the 3rd row down. Looks great and handles well. Would buy this again.

Purchased October 2016 with about 36,000 miles. The worst thing I don't like is the seats. The material is cheap, which is gray cloth, is hard to clean. The seats are very stiff. It's standard that it does not come with the 3rd-row floor mat. I had to purchase an aftermarket one for $24 from an Online store which was hard to find a place that sells it(autoanything.com). Dealerships don't sell it individually. The Bluetooth won't connect with my Galaxy S6 but it does with iPhones. After a month of driving it, the wheel bearing had to be replaced. My auto technician said it's a common issue and the quality of OEM part is terrible. This was under 40,000 miles. Along with the sensor for the traction control had to be replaced every time tires are taken off. So my technician said he couldn't fix the traction control to function. The dealership has to program it. My windshield had a crack from something that hit it on the freeway, probably a small rock off the dump trucks. The "Acoustic" or original Honda windshield costs $1200. Instead, I bought a low-end replacement for $250. It works fine. I bought the SUV for some $25,000, $3000 under KBB value. The trade-in value is $18,000 , which is terrible. That's $10,000 difference from the market value- of $28,000. I give it an overall grade of "B-" for the electronic technology, 2nd generation looks better and it has more room compared to my 2005 Honda Plot EX. July 2020. Now at 86,xxx miles, front suspension needs repairs and rear shocks were replaced, luckily they were the Lifetime brand. I only paid for labor for new shocks. The stains are worst now. They can't be cleaned. When I make "U" turns it makes a whirling noise. My technician can't figure it out. February 2021. 91,xxx miles. I will give it a "C". Seat stains just get worse. I've given up on it. Gas MPG has gone down. The gauge average for the city is 15 mpg. Trade-In value at this point is only worth about $10,000. The market value dropped $8,000 in 5 years. Hondas usually hold pretty well in value but maybe not this model. February 8th, 2022. 107,xxx miles. Stains on seats are still visible and cannot be cleaned. Suspension needs replacement parts and transmission fluid needs to be changed every year-front and back. Rear wiper doesn't have an exact OEM replacement at stores. They can only be found at the dealership. Prefer my 2005 Honda Pilot EX still running at 208,xxx miles. August 9, 2022. 113,xxx miles. The driver seat makes a loud noise when moving it back. Again, I’ve given up on the seat stains as they just get worse. Prefer to drive the other Pilot-2005 model with 213,xxx miles.

I've driven 2/3 of the continental U.S. and this vehicle has been very comfortable and reliable. Through heavy rain, wind, and on slick roads it handles extremely well.
