I read plenty of reviews. So I will talk about the three negatives I read the most. Radio flat screen. I found easy to get use too operating. I have and android phone. So didnt take long to get used to using. Fingers prints I hate, so I will need cloth and light spray every few days. 2nd was power , Im not a bunch the gas and go sort of driver so I found the smooth acceralaration just great. Plus I keep on econo button. Looks like 20miles per gallon around town. Only owned a week. 3Rd is the arm rest. It is not bad. Does get in the way slightly when doing sharp turns. I'm 6' 3". Gets my elbow. Otherwise Im getting used to arm rest. The sensing feature seems good. Im too new to have an opinion one way or another about lane assist, automatic braking system and the cruise control feature. I did add back up sensors to vehicle. I wanted to hear as well as having a camera in case I came to close to an object. So far extremely pleased with vehicle and like sitting up high. Leather seats are great and. of space.

Very good SUV with small but important flaws

I really wanted to buy this SUV, however Honda overlooked a few small but very important flaws it has. These small things were turned into actual deal breakers for me. Honda could fix these easily, and should, because I can't be the only one having these issues. 1) Dual Armrests. They are very skinny and too close to the seat for me. I'm a bigger guy at 6'3 and my right arm naturally falls on the outside if this armrest. To even stick my elbow on it I have to push my elbow tight into my body. I can do without an armrest for a short journey but what about road trips? Why can't Honda just have a regular armrest like the Pilot used to have or what every other SUV has? This one small detail was the largest deal breaker for me. 2) Why can't Honda have a height adjustable front passenger seat? Even in a 40+ thousand dollar SUV it's not offered? My wife is short at 5'1 and the seat is too low. On a long road trip it would make her car sick. What about children in the front seat? Honda cheaped out on this small detail. That was deal breaker #2. The others next are smaller flaws I could have looked past. 3) Why can't the rear tail gate open higher and be adjustable? In such a large SUV I shouldn't have to duck my head so I don't hit it. The tail gate doesn't go any higher up than my wife's small VW Tiguan does. 4) The drivers lumbar support is not very good. It did not do a good job of giving my lower back support. Other than those 4 simple things I couldn't find anything else I disliked about the Honda Pilot. It's really a shame I couldn't buy it and that the decision not to buy had to based on these simple flaws. These flaws Honda could easily fix for 2017, but I don't think they will. I guess I have to look into the Toyota Highlander next.

The stick arm rest have got to go, put on console with arm rest like I don't know the CRV. On long trips the stick arm rests don't work for me.

Coming from an '09 Expedition Eddie Bauer, I'm somewhat disappointed. Overall performance is great. And Honda reliability and resale are a definite plus. But armrests, seriously, couldn't Honda include a decent center console? And the tech in this Honda is definitely lacking. Voice commands are a joke, it thought Vero Beach Florida was Deer Lake Ohio, really? The Sync in my '08 Focus is way better. I did get a great deal, and this car is very nice overall, and very affordable when compared to similar models. But there are a number of small annoying issues, like no drivers seat memory settings. I'll probably trade back up to an Expedition when I can find a really good deal on one.
