Great family car
I traded in my 2018 CRV for this 2019 Honda pilot Touring. The first thing I could tell right the way is how much quieter this car is compared to my CRV. I can actually hear my music or my kid can understand the movie that being played in the back of the car. The road where I live is made out of concrete with groove in them, so the road noise get very loud. Having this car is a plus. The ride is great and smooth, it's not as sporty as other car. But hey the car is for family is wasn't meant to be driving like a sedan or sport car. One this I do notice with this car is when the car hit a speed bump, the car does rock side to side more easily. I think this due to suspension being soft. This car is also heavy, so to stop the car you'll need more distance, compared to my CRV. 9-Speed transmission is a bit weird, if you're driving between 25-30 mph, the car is not as smooth shifting. if you're driving other speed, shifting are smooth. as for infotainment, I had it freeze up on me once. I have not see it happening again after that. The thing that I love about this car the most is the torque vectoring. Man I love how this car takes corner, it feels like I'm driving a smaller car.

Pilot Elite is a truly Elite-better than MDX!!
If you go Elite you are getting your Money’s worth Especially when you compare it to the top levels of the MDX, trust me, I test drove both MDX and Pilot Elite, bought the Pilot Elite. In reality, it’s only the difference of about $6-7k (pilots being cheaper) and Pilot Elite comes with more bells & whistles... ex. Panoramic Moonroof, Blu-Ray (vs. DVD in MDX!) and HDMI in Pilote Elite(vs. old school video component-mono, video, audio inputs in MDX—one word- Ridiculous!) ... as far as everything else it’s all the same features with a he exception of a lil extra plush seats in the MDX and the Acura tags and your paying more for in reality less! No thanks. I love this vehicle... I got it 3 weeks ago for my wife and we already took the family in a road trip, kids loved it, we loved it! Led lights, wireless phone charging, usbs everywhere( test drove Audi Q7 which lacked USB’s big time not to mention no rear entertainment and more $$) ventilated Sears, captain chairs, panoramic roof, power folding mirrors, the list goes on.... This Pilot is Supreme!

Still happy
I’ve had my 19 pilot for 2 years with almost 30,000 miles on it and it’s still running great. No issues whatsoever.

The Honda Pilot is a JERK!
I've owned my 2019 Pilot since Aug. 30, 2018. I read a lot of reviews on it and worried about the 9-speed transmission, but Honda supposedly refreshed it. I also chose the 2019 because it brought the knob back to the infotainment system. Well, both have given me issues. My infotainment system, like so many others, permanently froze up on me and had to be replaced. Now, some seven months after owning the car, my transmission has been intermittently "jerking" in the 30 mph range. Honda won't fix it and won't even admit there's a problem. Transmission problems are serious. I would avoid the Pilot until they replace the 9-speed completely.

Infotainment dangerous
The infotainment system has a known glitch the dealerships still can’t fix. There is a class action lawsuit as this is distracting when driving. Even worse, the speedometer cuts out to black when driving after the infotainment cuts off.
