Used 2014 Honda Pilot Touring 4dr SUV 4WD w/Navigation and Rear Entertainment (3.5L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
From the Pilot of a 2014 Honda Pilot Touring
This is a great SUV! Probably one of the best I have had. Very comfortable ride, handles very well, very roomy and also looks classy. The only downfall is the Bluetooth for the phone. It is very crackly and is difficult to hear sometimes. Other than that, I absolutely love, love, love this vehicle and will more than likely purchase another when it comes time to get a new vehicle in the future. Also, this is the first time I have searched out a car on Edmunds and actually driven almost a hundred miles to purchase the car just from a picture on a website. I was very happy when I got to the dealership to see the car looking exactly as it did in the pics online. I will definitely use Edmunds again when I purchase. Thank you so much ...this was a great car buying experience for me, and I have purchased a lot of cars in the past. Thanks again Edmunds. I love my Pilot!

2014 pilot
I love this vehicle!!! If you want a pilot don't get a base model go with the add- ons .We had many vehicles and I will say I've been impressed with the pilot the most . If you take a little bit of time to set up radio, phone, gps WOW!! Towing isn't a problem for me and I tow (outdoor toys rzr, grizzly ,and 2 smaller atvs on my trailer ) . Not a problem and I have gone up Nittany mountain with ease . Kids enjoy the videos and can even play video games with the 120v outlet and easy access video /audio inputs. The lighted steps make it easy to get in and out at night. The dealership is definitely very good as well and we will probably be back for another later on down the line. And if you like being outdoor get them to throw in a tent that attachs to the back it does it all! !

Best SUV for a budget
I love everything about this vehicle. It is smooth to drive and big on the inside to accommodate a host of people. I love the full sized third row instead of having a two seater, and there are car seat anchors behind every rear seat. This means if I need to move my kids to one side and fold the seats down on the other side for cargo space, I have the option. The rear entertainment system has been a godsend for road trips. It feels solid and sturdy during inclement weather. Anything maintenance wise we have been able to repair for less than $100, so that is a plus. I intend to keep this Honda until the end of its life. Or mine. Quite possible it will outlive me.

Good car overall
I owe this car for almost 5 years and I did not have a single mechanical issue or issue with peeling paint that other reviews mentioned. Overall the car is very comfortable to ride, the steering wheel is amazingly soft, space is unbelievable. The doors are just the right size to get on and off for adult and kids. The performance is great but I feel car jerking once in awhile switching gears. I love that the car is very wide. It was pretty much the only one vehicle we could fit two car sits with me sitting in the middle in one row with enough shoulder space. What I do not like is the top trim we got with navigation and entertainment system did not include keyless entry and keyless start. The sits are very poorly padded and insanely uncomfortable, both front and back sits are just awefull. The leather interior is not pretty as well as car paint is not sparkling but dull looking. I want also mention that Acura we previously owed had equally awefully uncomfortable sits. The navigation and control panel feel outdated and poorly designed. Also the shift gear handle is in front, right in the middle of everything and every time you try to reach something on the panel like AC or volume, it is on the way. The Mpg is not great. I use this car mostly to drive kids to school and activities and get between 15-17 mpg. I had to make adjustment to my driving habbits to get closer to 19 mpg. Rare highway drives bring 24 mpg the most. I was not sure about entertainment system but it turned out just great. So many speakers provide amazing sound for my CDs, radio reception is good. I even got xm radio to enjoy amazing sound this car provide. Overall we paid 40k for the top trim and I think that is a decent car for the price paid.

Don't bother
We owned a 2005, 2007, and now 2014 Honda Pilot. The main problems are the fuel economy and power numbers are tepid, the 5-speed gearbox is jerky, and acceleration took nearly 10 seconds. Plus the transmission cost a small fortune to repair. Please, take my word and buy aToyota Highlander (which we now own) or the Honda Odyssey.
