While driving between 25-30 mph in town where you have stop and go driving the transmission hard hard hard shifts. If we had know this we would not have bought the 2019 Honda Pilot touring. Honda has a problem and needs to fix it. Service manager said it is normal to shift like that, I told him it is bull!!!. We have had the car for 1 year and have 20,000 miles on it. Before this car we had a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder and I wish we would of went back with the pathfinder..
Not what I expected

The 8 passenger I didn't realize it was not 8 adults. 2 kids a one adult in the 3rd row is not comfortable. Plus 3 adults, one behind the other hardly leaves leg room. The acceleration is a little sluggish. Some times it takes a while to get up to speed. The rear suspension is a little weak. If you put 8 people in it, you head lights are high beaming people. The high beam and low beam are not that much different. Not a lot of head room or leg room in the 3rd row for adults

Based on research I had narrowed my interest to the Pilot and Ascent, w Pilot Touring being my first choice. I liked the looks of the Pilot especially the front. I was hoping that the car would meet or exceed my expectations and would purchase it after a test drive. Unfortunately it did not. I found the seats just OK and short on support and a little hard. There was little lower thigh support. I also found leg room on the drivers side was uncomfortable while driving. I am average height. I asked the sales man a couple of times if the seat went back any further. The rear seats were just OK and I found entering and exiting the rear was not as easy as in other vehicles when the front seat was all the way back. With the 20" wheels I did feel a lot of the road bumps. It did handle good and was relatively quiet. The engine start stop was not a distraction. I did find the lane assist bothersome. Perhaps you do get used to it. As soon as we started onto the highway you could feel it working in the steering. I thought it was extremely sensitive to the slightest movement of the car. While it was a short drive I came away thinking I really did not like the way the system interacted, felt like it was taking over the steering. I would probably prefer a system that gave a warning light vs the system impacting the steering wheel. The Pilot is a nice looking vehicle but comfort wise it was not for me. I ended up going to the Subaru dealer and as soon as I sat in the driver's seat I felt the difference in seating comfort as well as front leg room. Their seats will extend out giving you more or less thigh support. It is slightly bigger than the Pilot. Test drive was great, ride was quiet, and even with 20" tires I did not feel the bumps like I did in the Pilot. So I purchased the Ascent.

The electronic safety features and new radio system and poorly thought out and not reliable. The adaptive cruise control is slow to respond and the brakes more than needed at the default settings. Becomes a bit better if you set the distance to the lowest (closest) following distance, but then you do end up closer to the rear bumper of car in front than you would like. The crash avoidance system has way to many false detections and is beeping just because there is oncoming traffic, but at least it doesn't jam on the brakes. The Sirius radio was terrible but has gotten better since the recall for firmware update which at least made it much more reliable. The tire pressure monitoring system repaired and now seems stable. All of these feature were present in my old 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and were much better designed and more reliable than in the Pilot, and that is disappointing. At least they were free on the Pilot, so I guess you get what you pay for. Ground clearance is too low and steering and handling are not great. I would not buy again!

2019 Honda Pilot Elite 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

Just bought our 2019 Honda Pilot Elite with lots of additional accessories. We absolutely hate the car now that we’ve had it for a month. The navigation system is not great, waze is much better. Sensors for out of lane are WAY TOO SENSITIVE!! and pull on the steering wheel constantly. Our Subaru is way better! The rear entertainment system is horrid, our boys can’t listen to fM or any other music unless we have WiFi and we didn’t plan on buying it past the free month. So they listen to what we listen to. Can’t turn the air on just for them, like we used to in the odyssey either everyone gets the air or no one does. Rear headphone are terrible. We can’t talk upfront while the boys watch a movie, they hear everything. Skip the Honda Pilot.....I miss my Odyssey!
