Hello, Extremely happy to own my PILOT 2016 EX-L with honda-sensing. It will complete 2 years in July 2017, as i am one of the early owners . Have about 28k mileage as of today, thoroughly enjoyed every second and minute of the ride with pride. AWD system seems to be one of the best as I could feel and see that the vehicle maintains same speed on uphill roads without changing gas pedal pressure, I could see most of the vehicles falling behind irrespective of the brand and AWD or FWD systems they may have, in summary the AWD system somehow manages the power distribution in efficient way which is treat to experience in real life driving. Not a single incidence of disruptive nature, always dependable. Again be yourself and go for what you like, this review in no way to influence anyone's decisions, just real experience.. with due respect to individual choices and all the brands. Purchased exl with honda sensing on 7/22 , currently have 3800 miles, super powerful, steady, responsive vehicle, no issues whatsoever, I do not care m6ch about finger marks on infitainment tab as indicated by some of the respected owners. This vehicle could be compared with some of the best on road, I would not say it will beat cayene or x5 but I have seen that it responds and keeps going on the highways effortlessly with excellent command and agility. By the way , with all due respect to other brands which I reserched and some test driven, i am m very happy to come across few artcles on pilot 2016 and choosing to visit honda dealership with family for test drive, my family and myself were so impressed with external and internal looks so finalized on pilot. Had to struggle to get color & model for few weeks, no discounts from msrp as of 7/22 but extremely happy to have this big beast, lots of space, power, ease to operate...

I really want to enjoy my 2016 Honda Pilot but I cannot ignore the fact that my car shutters at 35/45 MPH and jolts during deceleration. My local Honda Dealership said they found wrong with it and it might be normal car characteristics. That sounds like a cop-out up for a terribly made car... Very disappointing! Update: A/C fan needed to be replaced twice. The shuttering is now very aggresssive and poses safety concerns, need to bring the POS back to the shop. Will likely trade in for fear for safety.

The technology is beyond brutal

I have no idea what happened but the 2016 Honda Pilot elite we bought has the worst touchscreen user interface on planet earth. It's cumbersome, really slow, glitchy and lacking basic features. You have to over-interact with it to get simple stuff accomplished, distracting you from driving therefore creating an unsafe driving experience. The map is correct 50% of the time when giving directions en-route. Also, you can't control the rear entertainment system (dvd) from the front seat, seriously!? You have to pull over, get out and go around to the back to control it. The lane assist is highly unreliable and the Ventilated seats don't work well. All the above has led us to decide we actually are going to have to sell a brand new car we bought 2 weeks ago as we can't live with these issues for another week, let alone years to come. This will be our first and last Honda. Just read all the other reviews of people complaining of the same issues, just brutal.

Transmission failed

I purchased my 2016 Honda Pilot in September of 2015. I was fairly happy with the purchase, but I did notice some unusual transmission experiences. Well this week, it got worse. The gears banged into place and made loud noises. Sometimes it would not shift and just stay in gear with the engine revving really high and then banging into the next gear. The problem? The cooling coil in the transmission failed causing anti-freeze and trans fluid to mix throughout the transmission and the cooling system. According to the dealership, this is the third one they've seen like this in their shop. They also told me that their friends who work at the Acura dealer nearby are having the exact same issue with the MDX. They are going to replace my transmission and flush the cooling system. The car has 18,000 miles on it.

The Navigation/entertainment system is HORRIBLE. The software ease of use is a nightmare, its like Texting and driving. Brakes are ok and the wind noise is much better compared to my other Pilots. This is my 7th. The push button transmission stinks. When am I going to learn? Will I buy a 2018? Probably. It's like falling in love with a Tramp. Even though she's getting worse, I go back for more.
