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.

This should help with your decision! - 2010 Honda Pilot
By northeastpilot - March 13 - 10:19 amAfter driving everything, heres what I found. The popular Acadia got such great reviews but heres how I graded it: interior. B (too many cheap plastics) exterior. A- ride. B+. Drove the Acura (pricey for things I dont need) Toyota, Nissan, Ford, Chevy SUVs. None beating pilot. They either had quality or cargo issues. Heres my grade on the pilot-interior a-, exterior. B+, ride. A. Combined with with build quality & resale, its a home run. A guy I met said it perfectly. The pilot is like looking for the right woman/wife. Shes nice looking but not the prettiest. Get to know her and her qualities will win you over easily. Youll make a mistake going with the prettiest SUV (woman.

Love my Pilot! - 2010 Honda Pilot
By Kelli - March 10 - 11:16 amWeve had a couple of Honda vehicles previously -- a 2004 Odyssey and a 2007 Element (which I traded in for this Pilot). Both have been excellent vehicles, so it was an easy decision to get another Honda. I adored my Element and it drove fantastic, so I actually didnt have any intention of trading it in for a Pilot that day. But as I looked at the new body design, I loved it. Ive previously not been a fan of the Pilot. Then I looked a bit more at the interior features - really comfortable, liked how the rear entertainment system worked, and was impressed by the way it drove.

For the Price, this car is The Bomb! - 2010 Honda Pilot
By Colt - March 3 - 8:11 pmLove the size of this SUV. Its perfect for the traveling sales person, as its a large safe car with excellent crash test scores. Too many bells and whistles to even begin to discuss. Id keep this SUV on your short list. The kids are begging to take this car to Florida for Spring Break, instead of the minivan.

Great By Us - 2010 Honda Pilot
By Eubie - February 28 - 12:03 pmTested all others and kept coming back to the Pilot since we have an 03 with 93,000 problem free miles. This 2010 was a definite upgrade from previous models. It is so updated and slightly larger. Great nav and dvd with leather. The ride and drive is quiet and tight. Fuel economy has been 17 to 20 depending and I accept that. Great family vehicle. I must also say that Honda reliability is second to none.

Drive one, Youll buy one. - 2010 Honda Pilot
By Clemson Fan - February 27 - 7:47 pmJust the right size. Bigger than our old 2000 Explorer. Rides MUCH smoother and 10 times quieter and more refined. Steers perfectly straight, has very steady wheel, so dont be put off by all that pulls right talk! 24 mpg on hwy, 18 in city, 20.5 mixed. Not bad for 4000lb SUV - it is a Honda, but not a Civic or Accord, so be realistic. Super quiet, comfortable, handles great, good power. This SUV deserves a very close look if you are in the market.

More than I expected - 2010 Honda Pilot
By UBESQ - February 21 - 9:02 pmHave over 2500 miles and am pleasantly pleased with my Pilot. Still havent gotten through all the features. Nice ride with necessary creature comforts. Avg MPG is almost 20, which is not much less than the 08 Mariner I previously had. You learn how to max MPG by hitting the ECO level, even in local driving.

Terrific - 2010 Honda Pilot
By Mistyfiedw - February 16 - 10:18 pmI wanted to hit 1000 miles before my review. The reviews I read were pretty up and down. I am overly pleased with my Pilot! Brakes are great, no pulling to the right and I ADORE the boxy look. Exactly what I wanted. Mileage? Going from a car to a truck I expected less, it only cost $10 more to fill than my Camry and I do not feel like I am stopping for gas that much more often. The room is invaluable, very comfortable and (come on it is not a BMW) but for an SUV this is way fun to drive. I hope to have this Pilot for many years. For reference I am a 31 year old professional, I have never owned an SUV before.

Almost perfect! - 2010 Honda Pilot
By ajc2000 - February 14 - 5:31 pmIm not sure why this is not the most popular SUV. I traded in the 2006 Pilot EXL for the 2010 Pilot Touring w/ Nav/Res for all of its bells & whistles, which the 2006 had none. Ive owned many SUVs, Ford Explorer, Mountaineer, Jeep Ltd, Pathfinder and my wife currently has a Merc ML350 and this is by far the best. Ride is smooth like a luxury car, has every option I could ask for and reliability of a Honda. Surprised not to feel the ECO system switch off cylinders dont even feel it kick on & off.

GoodBye Soccer Mom! - 2010 Honda Pilot
By Kathy - February 8 - 5:46 pmThe 2010 AWD Touring Pilot is a great vehicle. After looking at EVERY 7-8 passenger vehicle on the market, this vehicle not only offered looks, but most importantly the room and comfort we need. It has the Honda quality and value that we want as well. Hondas rock!!!

4WD Touring w/ Nav - 2010 Honda Pilot
By Fantom5 - January 13 - 2:19 pmOverall very happy. Loved my 97 4 Runner but this car has much more interior space, better advertised mileage than the 10 4Runner. Quiet, handles very well and luxurious on the inside although some of the trim seems a little cheap. No real complaints. Handled great in our last snow storm. Overall mileage so far according to trip meter 18.1 over 950 miles. Havent been on the highway for any extended period yet. Would expect improvement when broken in and switched to synthetic oil. Great sound and Nav system. Love bluetooth and iPod interactivity-never need to take your hands off wheel. Boxy exterior but you know that going in. No pulling or mechanical issues so far.
