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.

  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.

  front end problem - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By Dennis - December 5 - 1:28 pm

  I bought my pilot in September 2009 I traded My pilot 2007 for the 2010. I found problems with the front end, it pulls to the right which I never had a problem with my 2007. Honda needs to recall this vehicle for the front end problem, and they better do it soon before some one gets into an accident.

  09-10 Pilots Pull to Right - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By 59bobster - December 5 - 2:36 am

  While I very much like this SUV, we too have experienced the mysterious pulling to the right noted by other owners. In fact, we noticed it in several 2009s we test drove before eventually purchasing a 2010. Funny thing is, we specifically tested this while test driving and it was either not present or not pronounced enough to be readily noticeable. Our Pilot had just 15 miles on it when we bought so Im wondering if this is something that gets worse with mileage? Just returned from 500 mile round trip on freeways and driving straight requires constant pressure left on steering wheel. Have not returned to dealer yet but given the numerous reports, I doubt its an alignment issue.

  2010 Pilot Touring 4WD- 2 Thumbs up!! - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By SB - November 17 - 5:23 am

  We needed a larger vehicle for our growing family. We looked at the Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, Forerunner, Highlander, and Buick Enclave. For many reasons (fit, feel, steering, 3rd row, all-wheel drive) we chose the Pilot. We have had it for 2 weeks now, and its been great. We put a rear facing car seat with a infant car seat next to each other in the left side of the car. Still enough room for adult on the right and for access to 3rd row. 3rd row is very usable for kids and adults. Tech in the vehicle is great. Impressed with the bluetooth, iPhone integration, Nav, and entertainment system. Gas mileage isnt great, but we knew that going in. Its been a great choice for us!

  2010 Honda Pilot AWD / RES - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By Calvin - December 28 - 3:30 pm

  I finally traded in my Van for this SUV. So far, I like it better then my Van. one problem I noticed, it seems to pull to the right. Looks like others are having this same problem. I brought it to dealer, they said, they are not seeing the problem. They said it is normal that it pulls if I accelerate. I think that is junk! My brother CRV is not doing that. For that reason, I lower its quality to 7.

  Love the pilot - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By amatoleo - May 24 - 10:40 pm

  Wife & I just got the 2010 pilot and we are very happy, its very roomy, smooth, and good performance. If it is as reliable as other hondas, we will be good to go for long time. Great hauler for a family of 6. Interoir is well made and well thought out. Have owned many suvs but this one just feels right.

  Just one little annoying thing... - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By krjacj - August 22 - 10:43 pm

  This is our first Honda, and so far, it has been a great vehicle for our family of 4. Gas mileage averages 19-20mpg. I immediately liked the exterior boxy styling and more rugged appearance than the old Pilots. Drives well and feels very solid on the road. The only issue weve had is the slope of the rear cargo area when the 3rd row seats are folded down. Some things roll out easily due to the slanted surface. The optional cargo net became a necessity after a gallon of milk rolled out and crashed onto the driveway.

  Old GPS DVD - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By Ernie - June 23 - 12:26 pm

  We love this car. Its fun to drive, feels very solid on the highway. The only problem we encountered is we noticed that the GPS system didnt have a toll road that had been open for almost 2 years on its map. When we checked the DVD driving the system it was the 2008 DVD....in a 2010 car! Not good.

  Needs some changes - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By Arun - April 8 - 7:20 pm

  The 2010 Pilot is an excellent choice for large sized SUV. It provides great comfort and rideability, and has ample room for 8 people. The interior design is excellent except for usage of cheap looking plastic on the dashboard. One thing I missed from my CRV was the conversation mirror, which was great for checking on your kids, without turning your head. Performance wise, the Pilot is no slouch, but its probably the first guzzler from Honda. All over the internet people are complaining of poor mileage. I am hard pressed to get their EPA 17 mpg in city. Braking distance is another valid complaint, it takes more distance to stop when braking at 60mph and above.

  Fuel mileage overrated - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By GaryM - February 28 - 3:20 am

  I have only driven 4000KMs; like the handling and power of this vehicle but am terribly disappointed with gas mileage. If I had known it was this bad I would not have bought this vehicle. My 8 cylinder pickup was better when towing. Its not bad when driven a long distance on the highway when not towing. Honda has severely overrated the mileage of this vehicle. It is not even close to the numbers they suggest. Towing mileage is brutal, 20.1 lts/hundred over 300kms. They should have installed a bigger tank because you are constantly stopping for fuel. I find this vehicle has a lot of road noise compared to my last vehicle. Its possible its the type of tires but it should be better.
