Overview & Reviews

After a complete redesign last year, the 2010 Honda Pilot stands pat except for standard two-stage heated seats on the EX-L model and integrated rear window sunshades on the Touring.

• Pleasant ride, perfect crash test scores, decently roomy third-row seat, smooth V6, clever interior storage features.

• Back-of-the-pack brakes, sluggish acceleration, unremarkable fuel economy, button-heavy center stack.

  Love our Pilot! - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By Ross - January 4 - 2:11 pm

  Overall, very satisfied. Primarily used by my wife who drives 1/2 mile to work one way. Mileage is bad but with wifes short commute, this isnt that critical. Engine compartment fuse box cover was missing and only discovered after getting vehicle home. This necessitated a trip back to dealer. Ride on highway not bad at all for a "truck". Acceleration and braking seem fine. Additional room from the 2007 Pilot we turned in at lease-end is a plus. Bothersome that the roof rack is a $400.00 extra. Other than that, no complaints.

  Great Vehicle! - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By txmommy - January 2 - 9:34 am

  Previous to this I had a 2000 Honda Accord, after two kids we needed more space. This Pilot definitely has more space and can comfortably fit three across (with a car seat in the middle). It has a smooth drive and the gas mileage is as advertised, though I do not have a lead foot and drive conservatively. The interior is very roomy, I was surprised it was so big. The leather does seem a bit cheap since it seems like it discolors easily and attracts the blue color off of jeans, I have the light grey leather. Overall I am very pleased with my new Pilot. It gets great mileage, has lots of room, is very safe and easy to drive and maneuver and I enjoy it immensely!

  I have put 1500 mi on my pilot in 2 weeks. The dashboard is well light and easy to read. The fog lights are GREAT. Gas mileage is about 20.5 so far, but its a Honda so I will get better. I dont notice any pulling to the right as mentioned by others. Handles very well in 6 in snow.

  New EX-L - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By John - December 28 - 6:55 am

  Took a 600 mile road trip over Christmas. The pilot did great, we have one 15 month old and another on the way. The vehicle is roomy and very comfortable to drive. Love all the cubbies to store stuff in. The suspension is amazing and the highway ride is great as well. I did not notice any lack of power and got 21mpg as it is not broken in yet. Go drive one for yourself, I drove a lot of vehicles but none of them stacked up safety and feature wise to the Pilot.

  Great Utility Vehicle - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By scooterpower - December 27 - 12:59 pm

  This is probably the best appliance you can buy for your family that doesnt guzzle gas. Quality is great, mileage is excellent. 20mpg is nice for such a large truck, but weve always had hi-po cars in the garage (V10 M5, M3, S2000, Cayman S) so mileage isnt a deal breaker for us. Quality/design of interior is on par with the best from Germany, too bad the outside is vanilla. I prefer the looks of the Traverse & CX-9 to the Pilot. 1 major flaw three weeks in and weve got a huge windshield crack! I havent even made a payment yet... Overall great car, but Id prefer a wagon to ANY SUV. We really do not need the 3rd row seats.

  Soccer moms yes, outdoor enthusiast no - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By LWT - December 26 - 12:21 pm

  The interior is excellent. Vents for even the 3rd row passengers, 3 climate zones (driver, passenger, rear), plenty of cup holders, 3 power outlets, and lots of nooks to hide stuff. The benches are very short though! Not a lot of thigh support. You sit down and almost feel like your legs are dangling. Road noise is a problem also, even though I bought the EX-L which supposedly has thicker glass to cut down on this. Havent noticed the same pulling to the right that others have (1500 miles driven), and the mileage I get is no where near advertised. I avg. 19 hwy, 16 city. The Pilot is very wimpy on trails, and I have yet to take it out on the sand (Im a little scared to do so).

  Love it - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By Coop - December 23 - 11:10 am

  The Pilot doesnt disappoint. We test drove the Veracruz and Traverse and found the Pilot the best of everything for the money. We dont agree with Edmunds assessment. The options and luxury for the price is not comparable with the Chevy and the Hyandai. Weve already taken a road trip with three kids and two grandparents and the Pilot performed better than we could have hoped. The ride is great and it handles very well.

  Great SUV to drive - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By Honda_pilot_owner - December 17 - 2:16 pm

  After a lot of research narrowed it down to Highlander and Pilot. Test drove each 2 times and concluded that Highlander is actually a 4 seater with lots of cargo space and in that case my present Camry was already doing that job. So we went for Pilot knowing that it is a gas hungry vehicle compared to highlander or other SUVs of similar class. Chose 4x2 as I dont do much of activities demanding 4x4. Ride is smooth much like an SUV/Truck than a car which I felt in highlander.

  Should learn from CRV - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By H Huang - December 16 - 2:38 am

  I purchase the EX because I dont like the leather in the EX-L trim. It is a big disappointment that the Pilot EX doesnt come with a moon roof like the CRV EX does. Pilot is much bigger than the CRV, yet its features doesnt match up the CRV. The style is fine to me, although I do wish its front nose a little bit lower, so it wont look so boxy, and it may help the fuel economy too. The acceleration and the fuel mileage when starting is terrible. The car is just unnecessarily too heavy and the 250 horse power is a shame for Honda, considering a much smaller ACCORD, or Pilots other rivals such as Highlander. You can feel the road when driving. However, it is smooth and pleasant.

  LOVE MY HONDA! - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By LLHH - December 8 - 12:50 pm

  This is my 3rd Honda Pilot and I wouldnt even think of buying any other brand. Ive never had any major work done on my other two and that makes this vehicle a major winner. More than just reliable. It handles wonderful, feel safe on the road and loaded with lots of extra goodies. If youre looking for luxury with a lot of safety and reliability, this is the vehicle for you.
