An awesome SUV! It's comfortable and drives very smoothly. There is no reason to choose an European SUV over this amazing machine. I like everything about this car. If I were to change something on this SUV, the headlights should be more brighter and not that yellowish color. The lighting of these bulbs are on the low side and at night I would prefer to have better visibility. Other than that, it's superb!

Great drivers aids except blind spot monitoring should be on all models, not just the Elite. Apple CarPlay is great, no costly upgrades for onboard GPS. Also captains chairs should be an option for all models, not just elite. I didn’t want to pay $8000 more for most items I don’t want or need like 2nd row entertainment, on board GPS etc. It has the space of an Odessey, but not the soccer mom look.

The longer I own the Pilot, the better I like it. IOverall, this is a spacious vehicle that seems to be well made. Gas mileage is very good with economy mode. I have been averaging about 23 mpg which includes a fair amount of towing. Disappointed in the high cost of roof rack and trailer hitch - neither are standard features. I have had a lot of trouble with the Apple Car Play system. It seems overly complicated and not intuitive. It often does not respond / connect properly. My favorite aspect is the great visibility this vehicle. This pilot is quite good in various road conditions such as snow and mud. It also pulls my 2000 pound boat quite well. Vehicle now has 6700 miles on it. I am still frustrated with the apple car play system. It seems to have a mind of its own. I enjoy the space of the vehicle. There is plenty of room for all of my fishing and hunting gear along with space for an occasional grand dog or two. I have been contemplating purchasing a new hybrid suv but I am afraid I won’t be as happy with it. Plus, the price of a new suv is ridiculous. I wish the new Pilot or Passport had a hybrid option.

2018 Honda Pilot Touring 4dr SUV w/Navigation and Rear Entertainment System (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

We’ve been in the car a month and took a trip to San Antonio and back for Spring Break. We’ve never owned any car model that was equipped over base models i.e. power windows and locks. We are somewhat savvy with new electronics. That said the dealership (Vandergriff Honda) assumed we got enough of a briefing at the delivery because they forgot us after that. The rear entertainment took over all systems and we had heck figuring that out for ourselves. There are 4 screens for apps and widgets but the system doesn’t allow any or there are none available. I checked forums. Apple CarPlay is the only option that works. Changing from radio channels to navigation on CarPlay needs to be done by a passenger for sure. Lane Keep is taking some getting used to and the new cruise control isn’t built with Texas traffic in mind. You have to set options like door locks and auto lock for each remote. The mirrors are included in seat memory despite what the salesman says. We still really like driving the car though.

Unusual noise

This my 4th Honda and by far my least liked. There is an unusual noise coming from under the rear area, (location unknown) when going over uneven pavement and small bumps. Sounds like metal to metal contact. I took to the dealer and they couldn't replicate the noise. Very frustrated after spending all that money for this vehicle. Quality has gone down dramatically. I am considering getting rid of it asap.
