This is our second Pilot. We looked at a few other mid size SUVs but we chose the Pilot again. It is definitely one of the larger ones and overall everyone felt that the seats were more comfortable and had much more room. It wasn’t the most powerful or nimble of the ones we test drove, but it handles pretty well and has enough power. Other dealers were only ordering the highest levels with the expensive options but the SE and the EXL come nicely equipped and I didn’t feel like I was being forced to purchase vehicles with 12 speakers and surround sound or giant panoramic roofs etc. to pad the dealer’s pocket during this car shortage.

Love the Pilot! This is my second purchase of a Honda Pilot. The extra space that the Pilot affords over the CRV is just what is needed for running errands and family trips. This new Pilot, with all the safety features, also seems easier to drive than the older version.

"Utility" part of SUV is expensive!!!

It's a $2471 adder to get that 5000 lb tow rating. Down to $1400 for just adding the dealer-installed hitch for 3500 lbs. Roof rack is a $600+ adder. If you want to do anything more than haul people, it gets expensive. I haven't seen other SUV options so expensive to add towing. If you have an SUV full of people for a trip, you'll need that roof rack. Ouch!

I had a 2017 and it was my favorite car I have ever owned. We recently got a 2021 and I absolutely HATE it! They made it so much more complicated and it’s the most distracting car I have ever owned. I have 3 loud, wild boys that are already distracting. Things I hate; The gear buttons, it has a time lag before it actually shifts into gear. I hate this feature so so much!! Getting it into low gear is ridiculous. It takes 2 to 3 steps with 2 to 3 different buttons. On slick roads, which I travel on much of the time, this is insanely inefficient. The Apple car play never works, it has to be managed through the phone so what’s the point. When radio stations are changed it makes a terrible sound like you have a flat tire. The volume buttons on the steering wheel are set too far in so you have to look down to find them. Defeats the purpose. The steering wheel seizes and shakes while an orange brake light flashes on the dash. Still can’t figure out why it does that but it’s an awful rush of fear adrenaline. I miss the right turn camera in the 2017. Overall the features in the 2021 made it the worst and most distracting car to drive and terrible in winter conditions.
Love ‘21 SE over ‘17 EX-L

Owned a ‘17 EX-L prior. Upgraded to ‘21 SE for safety features. So happy I did. Info-system noticeably improved as well.
