  Great 2nd Pilot - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By Mots - November 17 - 7:00 am

  Just traded my 2005 Pilot for 2009 Touring with Nav and DVD. Looked at MDX, RX350, X5, CX-9, and Murano. This is much better than the others.

  Honda Surprise - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By hwccsuburbs - November 6 - 5:30 am

  There are a lot of negative comments about this car. We LOVE IT. It feels like a truck when you sit in it. It seats 8 COMFORTABLY. It drives so quiet and so smooth. The toys are great. The sound is amazing. We gave it a test drive to dismiss it and drove it off the lot!

  I made the right choice! - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By Anne S. - October 10 - 4:46 pm

  I know I made the right choice the minute I sat in the Pilot. I loved the new design and all the features it has to offer - all included as standard (depending on the model you choose). It has an amazing amount of room, smooth ride, and lots of storage. Compared it to the Highlander and the Acura MDX and know I made the right choice!! Go for it. You wont be sorry!

  What a Vehicle - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By BlairB - September 29 - 4:53 am

  We set out to buy a Saturn Outlook but after test driving all the competitors, took a look at the 2009 Pilot just to rule it out. Immediately we had to have it. Dont know what the fuss is with the styling, we like it from every angle. We have the Mocha Metallic ext. with beige leather and think it is a very classy combination. I love the drivetrain. With concentration I can feel the VCM but it is very imperceptible. Ride is very smooth without being floaty. Handles great. Very solid feeling, doors slam shut like a Mercedes. Awesome seats and features for the money. Would not mind another couple mpg but easy on gas for a lg. vehicle. Love the dual exhaust looks and sound.

  It was worth the wait. There is no vehicle that can match this, or even comes close

  Me so happy - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By Mary M - June 7 - 3:46 am

  had been SUV shopping for 3+ months. I was so close to the Acadia...or the CX9...but just didnt like the eggs-why do all the SUVs have the same shape? It cuts down on visibility and limits the access to cargo. I also wanted the window in the hatch to open individually. No other vehicle had this option. I had a minivan and really considered myself a SUV kinda girl. When I saw the new redesign for the Pilot, I got excited and decided to wait until it came out before purchasing the other eggs. Drove it, got it, and love it, love it, love it! Handling is so responsive. Just driving it today and noticing how easy it is to maneuver. Much better than the van (urrgh!) and the other eggs.

  By Sydney - May 20 - 12:43 am

  I bought this SUV after doing a lot of research and I love the fact that the engine converts down to 3 cyl. when not going faster. I had a 2004 Jeep Liberty before and the Honda Pilot drives so much better. It is very comfortable to drive in and ride in. I love it!!!

  Great SUV - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By Greg - April 1 - 6:10 am

  I debated between purchasing a Highlander and the Pilot and I am glad I chose the Pilot. The Pilot comes standard with a trailer hitch and a comparably equipped Highlander is about $3-$4K more and Toyota charges $600 over and above for a hitch. The Pilot is smooth in its acceleration and ride. The interior design is extremely well thought out and has tons of storage. The new design is much beefier/heavier/more masculine looking, which I love. You get a lot of great features for your money with this vehicle.

  Pleasant Surprise - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By Mr. Montana - February 11 - 11:36 pm

  After testing several mid-sized utes traded in my 04 4-runner. I have owned Hondas in the past so expected the quality. What surprised me was how solid, and capable it feels driving on rutted out, washboard dirt roads-a big plus for an avid kayaker/mtn. biker/all around outdoor enthusiast in western Montana. On road handling was good enough, but much improved with a set of aftermarket 18 in wheels and upgraded tires, and still rides smooth on and off road! Factory side steps and rack help break up a somewhat frumpy design, and along with the aftermarket wheels gives the pilot a much sportier demeanor. Im really impressed with the quality, technology, and overall driving dynamics.

  My First Honda - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By Carlo Kemner - February 11 - 4:16 am

  I have had this 2009 Pilot for two months now and it has been so far the best I have ever owned. The ride is great and the fuel mileage is better than I excepted for the heavy SUV. My wife also likes this SUV and rather drive the Pilot rather than her Lincoln Crossover. Overall the 2009 Pilot is a great SUV. I replaced a 2006 F150 with this 2009 Pilot EX.
