You are in for a treat. This is the best SUV. I drove a Pilot for 15 years and loved it, but this truly is a awesome truck. Love it!

I can't say enough about Honda cars. This is my fifth but not my final Honda. I really appreciate that they're so durable. This Pilot is so comfortable to sit in and to drive. All my passengers have commented during their first ride, "These seats are really comfortable". It's also very roomy; I've hauled a china cabinet in the cargo area! Gas mileage is terrific for such a large vehicle, 28 mpg highway, 22 city. I've never had a repair (43000+ miles) but I do keep routine maintenance up to date. My only complaint about this car regards the infotainment system. Settings require multiple touches to reach the menu you want; for safety, it's best to make adjustments while not driving.

Yesterday after backing 2016 Honda Touring ( 9 speed 2 wheel drive)--29k miles-- out of garage transmission completion froze on middle of street. Got transmission failure screen and emission failure screen. Tried to put in N and push to curb. NO WAY, car would not move. Called dealer and told nothing to do but except tow to dealership. Called towing co. and waited about 2 hrs. By time tow truck arrived problem had somehow reset and was able to move out of street but dealer was closed by then. Next morning drove to dealer without problem and failure messages were off. After day of checking told problem was "probably" sensor in transmission was "probably" caused both failure messages BUT they weren't able to duplicate problem. Only fix appears to be new transmission BUT Even thought code is still in computer they say unless they can duplicate problem they can't replace transmission under warranty. Dealer is keeping car for now and I'm waiting to see what they intend to do. I don't plan on leaving dealer without the problems absolutley fixed. Can't believe it!! Got to be a safety hazard. Tech couldn't say what might happen it transmission fails while on the freeway?? Update. Honda has stepped up and replaced the transmission under the warranty. Happy day. Thanks to the local dealer for there efforts to get this matter resolved.

It's a Honda. Solid. Well designed. And despite it being the first automatic transmission I have ever owned, I actually enjoy driving it. It sure does make life with kids easier. I feel quite spoiled without having to spend so much on a luxury vehicle.
