MY RETIREMENT HONDA ELITE

Beautiful SUV Honda Pilot Elite, I shopped around (Danville and Greensboro) Danville best deal . The best way is to save some money to make a good down payment so the monthly payments would not be too high , . The Elite is top of the line SUV, that is what I got for us, there are less expensive Honda's, and that was to be my retirement gift. So I got it for me and my wife. We own 2008 Civic, 2006 Ridgeline (bought new in 2005), 2005 Honda motorcycle and now a 2019 Honda Pilot. Still drive them all. None have over 160,000 on them. Our first new car was a Honda Accord, my son wreck it. Honda's are like your kids, you will always love them, no matter what happens. The right sales person can help you all the way through. I'm a true believer in, a Honda is a great name and car. Sincerely The Ringgold Kid

Gas mileage is okay, 20 to 22 mpg average, about 25 on highway. Comfortable and powerful, and the safety features took some getting used to. I like it better as time goes on.

Rough idle when I first crank it. Air condition outside/inside vent will not close, Possible exhaust leak because it smells like exhaust while I’m driving it cant close vent so I outta luck. Uncomfortable, right arm no center consul one level left arm door rest another level puts a kink in the back. Touch panel is a PIA. Interior feels cheap. AC compressor turns off and on every 2 minutes regardless or temp setting.fdlll update! 05sept, it was recalled and honda bought it back for what i paid for it 2 years prior. it ran like crap, if it ran at allit stayed broken longer than it worked.

Worst Honda I’ve ever owned,

Transmission makes horrible noises when shifting from park etc. it whines going down the road. The “ safety stuff” really is scary. It will sense an on coming car on a two lane road, as a danger and it slams on breaks for your safety and sharply snatches the wheel out of your hands to the right...and off the road you go. The AC is waxing and waning. Rides rough. My history 1976 Honda CVCC, 1982 2d accord, 1991 CRX Si, 1998 Prelude, 2006 civic Si, 2014 civic Si, multiple accords in between as family cars. 2012 Odessy, and this pilot is by far the worst.
