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.

  By Clayton - October 28 - 3:56 pm

  Selected car for inside room and ride since I travel a lot. It compared with Lincoln Towncar for ride, since it isnt around any more. Car is great buy, I have company car now and do not need it anymore. Great car!

  Love, love, love my Pilot - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By Gemma Kanzler - March 6 - 3:42 pm

  I have the Pilot EX-L w/RES. I dont have any children, but I like to do a lot of whitewater trips and I bought the Pilot because I can sleep in it, carry a lot of people for shuttle and carry a lot of boats. I have equipped it with a Thule rack that fits onto the already beefy luggage rack bars. Im thinking the RES will come in handy on boring car trips. Ive had it for 8 months and am loving the comfort and having just weathered 2 big snow storms, I can attest it is a beast in the snow, considering it doesnt have true 4wd. Mileage sucks, mostly because of my daily commute being stuck in stop and go traffic. When I get out on the open road, I have gotten 22 mpg.

  Very good vehicle - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By cultured_hick - June 30 - 2:13 pm

  We bought new in 12/2009, so have had for 3.5 years and only have 30k miles on, so mostly city driving. Never been in the shop except for oil and tires. Tires are 60k Michelins that wore out at 28k, but Michelin prorated replacement. It is a well thought out car when compared to competitors and much better value than the competitors. Engine is adequate, but certainly not a V8. Mileage is a little below represented, but likely 10% Ethanol in Gas is largely to blame. Thanks government. Get 21 Hwy and 16 City. Very stable on Hwy and great in snow. Third row is great and large carrying capacity when both rows down. Would definitely purchase again.

  Love my Honda Pilot! - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By sastx - June 3 - 9:29 am

  We bought our Honda Pilot in May 2012, and absolutely love it! Its super roomy and there is so much space in the back (3rd row seats down) that we went on a road trip with 2 little kids and still had plenty of room to put more luggage in the back. I take it out to construction jobsites and love how it drives like a truck through rough terrain, but yet it feels smooth and sturdy when Im on the freeway. This is an SUV we are going to keep until the wheels fall off. If you have little kids, you might want to buy seat covers if you have the cloth seats, as they do tend to stain easily.

  I would buy it again!! - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By notijeka - January 1 - 4:58 pm

  Traded in our 08 Accord in Nov. 09 for our 10 Pilot LX. First thing we did was go to ebay & bought (4) Touring wheels (Brand new). Then we bought the running light kit from a Honda dealer in Ohio. I then bought a custom grill kit from CarID in Ca. and two chrome pipe extensions. We also bought the faux chrome strips that go in the door guards. After taking off that goofy looking grill, installing the awesome billet grill (2 pc. upper & lower) installing the running lights and exhaust extensions and door chrome this LX is awesome. The good part.... I saved $4500 by doing it myself. Absolutely love the big roomy SUV.... have driven it to Florida and back and to Ohio and back. # 1 car

  I Love my Pilot! - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By Brenda - December 1 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my Pilot in November of 09 so it is one year old now. I have not experienced any of the problems that others have mentioned i.e. chipping paint, pulling to the right and moonroof problems. I am really happy with the way the car drives. The mileage could be better but, the mileage is what the sticker said it would be. I dont understand why so many reviewers say they are so surprised with the mileage they get? The navigation system is wonderful and I really love having the back up camera and noise sensors. There is only one thing I dont like. It has two empty places on the drivers left hand side of the dash. What are they there for? It makes it look like something is missing

  Dont buy the honda entertainment package - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By Jerry - November 21 - 2:00 am

  I truly enjoy my Honda Pilot. I would buy it again, however I would make one change. I would not buy the DVD package. you cannot hear the move playing in the back unless you use the headphones, kids/teenagers do not want to use headphones...

  A little bit disappointed - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By Ivan - August 20 - 10:17 am

  This is my second review. I have this pilot for 5months now. It is fun to drive and performs well except of the following. 1. Moonroof occasionally has problems. i already received letter from Honda that they will update it. 2. Paint on the bumper starts to peel. I was disappointed because i am not expecting that i will have paint problems in just 5 months. dealer said that they will fix it. 3. Seat belt at the 2nd or 3rd row rattles. this is somewhat annoying. I suggest that if you want to buy a pilot check the paint quality on the bumper and door edges of the vehicle.

  What could be better? - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By CCAR - August 14 - 7:23 pm

  I upgraded from a 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee with too many problems to list, so I gave it back. The 10 Pilot is excellent. What cant you do with it? I have not seen any pulling problems. All of the extras on the vehicle are wonderful. Get the DVD system if you have children, also gives you a better speaker system, which Honda is known not to have.

  Bang for the Buck v2.0 - 2010 Honda Pilot
  By rockwea - June 21 - 3:52 pm

  Great driving vehicle, good 4WD performance, and great features. Seating very good, massive car audio(so many features), and good MPG for a 4WD suv are among some of the top features. Engine performance is good - Im willing to take the hit on performance for MPG (especially today with $$ for fuel). Would recommend a Pilot and/or purchase another if I need to buy another vehicle. Purchased 2010 4WD EX-L w/RES in late May 2010 for $31,600 plus TTL (new 2011 pilot models were available, no diff in 2010 vs. 2011, that I found).
