Best Pilot Yet

This is the third Honda Pilot that I have owned and it is definitely the best. It is very smooth riding and handling. The interior and exterior finish is superb especially the liberal use of leather on the interior. The complaints that I read about prior to purchase regarding the navigation system are unfounded. I found the entertainment and navigation very easy to operate unless you object to frequent cleaning of the touch screen. Conclusion: Congratulations to Honda. This is the best Pilot that they have offered.

The touch screen with the steering wheel controls works well, once you figure them out, but I don't like not being able to tune the AM/FM/XM radio to a nonpreset. It is very cumbersome to change the station to a specific one, especially if the only option is screen touch, & can be dangerous when driving.

I love everything about the Honda Pilot and love the new design. Very good quality SUV. My only complaint is that the stereo system (FM & AM) radio reception is terrible. It constantly fades in and out and makes listening to your favorite songs annoying. So while I currently have a 3 month free membership to Sirius XM, I enjoy that. Sadly, if Honda doesn't do a recall on the antenna in the car, I'll end up being a lifetime member of Sirius XM which I had not planned. They dropped the ball on this one EASY thing.

I have tried Highlander 2012 for four years and owning this car for 3 months and see that Honda Pilot is above everything than Toyota Highlander. It's definetely best SUV.

We have owned 5 different Hondas in the last 11 years, passing down the older models to our growing children. This Honda Pilot touring AWD is by far the nicest of them. I researched this vehicle for two months before it even came out and has definately been worth the wait. This will be a vehicle that we will keep until it dies! It has everything you would need and more. I still haven't said, " I just wish it had_____." I don't think I will. I have the power I love with all of the conveniences, and most importantly, the space I need, wrapped up in a stylish new package.
