Overview & Reviews

The 2011 Honda Pilot returns mostly unchanged from last year. Navigation is now available on the EX-L trim level and a rear entertainment system is now included on the Touring model.

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

• Poor braking performance, sluggish acceleration, unremarkable fuel economy, button-heavy center stack.

  Great SUV for what it is. - 2011 Honda Pilot
  By TMG - November 17 - 2:00 am

  I have been very happy with the Pilot overall. Seats are comfortable, I dont think they would be if you are overweight, Im 62", 210 lbs. I dont find the ECO mode annoying, you can notice on the highway when it changes but, not after it rides the same, doesnt affect acceleration. It does have a rougher ride than I expected, more like an SUV than car or crossover. Gas mileage isnt great but you know that going in, we average about 17 mpg. The interior is nice and very functional. It is not a Lexus! To all the people complaining and comparing to other SUVs, spend the extra 10K, 20K or more and then youll have what your looking for. Great car overall, no mechanical problems yet.

  Great vehicle - 2011 Honda Pilot
  By RWF - November 15 - 2:00 am

  Recently purchased 2011 Pilot Touring for my wife. She loves the vehicle. Drives great, quiet inside, great technology with the NAV and voice recognition system. Contrary to some of the reviews, the seats are very comfortable and we do not notice any engine shifting when in ECO mode. The RES is fantastic particularly given the fact that the kids can operate it from the back. In fact, they can change the stations on the radio from the rear seats which saves us from having to surf their preferred channels (and when it gets too much, we lock out their controls). We have owned a Range Rover and GMC Yukon in the past and quite frankly, we are enjoying the Pilot more.

  Overall, the Pilot is everything I expected and more. It is a solid vehicle, like most Hondas are, and it performs as advertised. It is comfortable and solid. I took it on two long trips and it performed flawlessly. My wife and I love the navigation system. It is well worth the extra cost. Gas mileage could be better. I love this car.

  Dont Understand Why all the Drama - 2011 Honda Pilot
  By Mr. Andy - November 13 - 2:00 am

  Purchased vehicle brand new. Drives quietly, smooth and very comfortable. Im 62" and fit very well in the driver & Passenger seat. Havent tested full fuel range but Im sure I can get a good 375 miles from a full tank. Many complaints about comfort, Fuel economy, gadgets. Perhaps if one test drove the vehicle first, they would see these faults and move on to something else. As far as Fuel, I didnt pick an SUV because I wanted Fuel economy, I picked it because it felt strong. If you want better gas mileage DONT BUY AN SUV. Get a Camry or an Accord Duh. No problems with braking I dont tailgate or expect to be still doing 60 mph in heavy traffic. Im lovin my Honda.

  Ive got the peeling paint blues - 2011 Honda Pilot
  By ApexPilot - November 12 - 2:00 am

  Ive got an appointment to take my Pilot in a few weeks for peeling back bumper. Whats up with that? Ive been a loyal Honda owner for over 20 years and Ive never had an issue with the paint peeling. For the most part I love my Pilot. For me its much more comfortable then my 2007 CR-V was.

  So far so good - 2011 Honda Pilot
  By Wayne - November 9 - 2:00 am

  Had this vehicle for about a month now. Love it so far. Got it for the 3 rows that seat 8. It can fit our family of 5 with no problem with the 3rd row folded down which leaves plenty of room for cargo for our trips. AWD Sienna only seats 4 without third row (captains chairs) and Highlander was a bit narrower, had less cargo room and was more expensive. Didnt take to the Sorento or Traverse - which were also more expensive for the same options.

  Great SUV - 2011 Honda Pilot
  By Happy Family - November 7 - 1:00 am

  We love our new Pilot. We owned a 2006 Pilot and traded it for a 2009 Odyssey. It only took a year to figure out we are not a minivan family. So we traded for this and my wife couldnt be happier! Great lines and well laid out interior. Couldnt get much better of a vehicle in our opinion

  Great SUV and hands down the best value for the money. Traded my 2010 for a 2011 due to excellent resale value!

  Great car to own, very fun to drive excellent road handling, very quite &smooth ride, excellent acceleration, very powerful among cars in highway, all instruments are within reach, mostly highway miles so far (with distances of 300 + miles average 19-21 mpg ( ecomode is great, ( once average 55 mpg on a down hill ( at least for 1/2 mile, just thought I can share that :)), owned a pilot exl 2004 but this one just great, for crossover lx gives many extras with lot of space, (I added chrome side bars, starter, fog lights, all season mats, roof rack) in black color lx looks great, (if you dont want to spend too much initially lx is the way to go), many extras from Honda to add (light int/wood trim, steel trim
