2016 Honda Pilot Redesigned

Love the 2016 Pilot. Rides and handles well. Economic features include idle shut off when at traffic lights or stopped for short periods. Takes some getting used to and was annoying initially. Push button gear shifter and heated seats are a nice feature. Electronic controls for navigation and phone are also voice activated. Good cargo space with rear seats folded down. Would have loved the panoramic moonroof but only available on the Elite model. Overall good value and worth consideration when shopping for an SUV.

Fyi: took mine to a Houston dealer and all of the problems with transmission and radio have been addressed. Honda came out with software updates to correct the problems. Believe me I was ready to trade it in but the Pilot runs like a champ now!

Great vehicle, smooth ride, if you don't require a lot of fancy gadgets and are of simple taste this is the vehicle for you! Do your homework, and the price you pay is worth the wait.

Have had transmission trouble almost from the day I bought vehicle. Transmission has trouble shifting gears. Traded vehicle in less than one year, lost money but at least I am through with that vehicle. I will never buy another Honda.

Remarkably quiet and smooth riding. Great acceleration. Auto locking means that I do not have to remember to lock the Honda when I exit! USB ports allow unlimited recording on flash drives, (I have stored over 100 CD albums in my flash drives) Cup holders everywhere store air fresheners, sun block, tissues, etc. I love it, but enter and exit the garage slowly with only 1 1/4 inches of clearance on each side. Is this SUV too wide for your garage at 79.6"? Video behind the car while in reverse really helps and is bright and clear at night. Right side video with hash marks helps me see when it is safe to pull in front of a vehicle in the lane to the right. It is hard to get into the 3rd row seats unless you buy running boards; however, I do not use the third row seats. I have a painter's drop cloth behind the second row of seats and carry my dogs back there. I also like the Bluetooth connection with my cell phone. This is truly a dream machine.
