I had a 2009 Pilot which performed like a champ. Drove it 250,000 miles before deciding to upgrade to the newest model. It drives fine, but the issues with connecting the phone via Bluetooth and Apple Car Play make me hate this car. The audio for the phone constantly stops working, forcing me to disconnect the phone and use the speakerphone feature. I can hear the person on the other end, but they can’t hear me. I have switched between Car Play and Bluetooth, but the same problem happens in both modes. I have upgraded all of the software in the car and my phone, but this did not solve the problem. I also reset the system to factory defaults, but the problems continued. When this occurs, the radio also stops working and says no audio source is available. The radio won’t work again until I park the car for 30 minutes. This is really annoying on long drives. If they could fix the audio problems, I would be happy. Check YouTube for other owners having the same problem. I took it back into the dealership in September of 2021, and they still cannot fix it. Come on Honda! Fix it!

I wish there was an option for 4.5 stars because thats what i would give this pilot. We're at 40k miles now the service we've done is put on new tires, alignment, trans fluid, oil, and cabin and engine filter. Ive heard people have had issues with the infotainment, and knock on wood, we have had no such issues. Apple carplay works great everything loads and works the way its supposed to. The leather is pretty comfy and most of the surfaces you touch in the pilot are soft touch instead of hard plastics or cloth. We have gone on a lot of road trips with this girl and we typically average 25/26 mpg when we do. 23/ 24 during normal driving. We love how this suv drives and how relatively quiet it is. The third row is pretty small but it fits our 7 year old just fine. Overall the Honda Pilot seems problem free so far (small saple size i know) and excellent to haul the family around on road trips, to school, grocery store etc. I would highly recommend to anyone with kids or someone who needs the large trunk space when 3rd row is folded down. Btw the reversible and lowerable trunk tray that comes standard where one side is plastic and other side is carpet is so smart. Solid SUV.

I own a 2019 Honda Pilot EXL. It is amazing to drive and handles like a car as it was intended. It is unbelievably smooth when driving. The third row has the most Headroom in it's class. I have driven the Volkswagen Atlas, the Kia Telluride, and the Toyota Highlander. None of them drive as well as the Honda Pilot or have as much room for third-row passengers. It may not as modern as some or have all the Techy styling looks but it is definitely a superb SUV. Not to mention the excellent mpg for its class. The 2019 also gained all the safety features associated with the pilot as standard and the reverse lights were moved up to the taillights instead of the bumper plus some other styling touch-ups. In my opinion, it was very well done. You get a lot of bang for your buck with EX-L. The car play/android auto infotainment system works well, maybe a few more angles for the camera would be nice, like an overhead view.

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.
