  The Educated Consumers SUV! - 2008 Honda Pilot
  By Educated Consumer - May 30 - 1:18 pm

  My wife and our two kids stepped up from a 4cyl 07 accord to the 08 Pilot expecting more kids soon. So the space was perfect. We got out of our lease with 1 1/2 years left on the lease and still got a really great price! The Honda Staff was very accommodating as with our first lease. The truck has great handling for a seasoned driver. And the power is there when I need it. Living in Brooklyn with a family means I need great gas mileage, the ability to modify the seating arrangements with room to spare for a quick trip for groceries, and a great sound system! I love my truck and could not imagine driving any other!

  Love it! - 2008 Honda Pilot
  By 5th_Honda - May 28 - 11:34 pm

  I traded in a 2006 Accord SE for a 2008 Pilot VP. I got a great deal because SUVs are no longer in high demand and the new body style was due out the following week. I only use about 2-3 gallons more per week than I was using in the Accord, so a few extra bucks in gas is well worth the extra room for my kids (car seats, stroller, sports gear, etc). It was actually cheaper than my Accord and my insurance has decreased. Go figure.

  Our New Pilot - 2008 Honda Pilot
  By Todd - May 20 - 7:03 pm

  Nice Crossover SUV. Smooth driving and roomy. NO mechanical complaints, only had it 6 days. Its a Honda, it better not have any! It is made in the US however.

  Love this Purchase! - 2008 Honda Pilot
  By Jim - May 18 - 9:43 am

  Anyone looking for a GREAT deal on an 8 passenger SUV needs to take a look at the 08 Pilot. Honda is GIVING these things away to make room for the new 09 Pilots that hit the lots over the next week or so. I was able to get my EX-L for under the TMV price and the dealer had added pin stripes, wheel locks, mud flaps and a cargo tray. I love this vehicle. Im in sales and have already driven 5k miles in 2 months and its a breeze to get in and out of. Huge storage space with the 3rd row folded down. It is noisy on the highway and the body lean in corners takes a little getting used to but the overall ride is nice. I looked at the VeraCruz, Journey, Pacifica and CX-9 and the Pilot is best

  Love It!!! - 2008 Honda Pilot
  By Terri - May 8 - 7:39 pm

  I love this car!!! I call it the beast. It is so much fun to drive, has great pick-up, and I feel very safe in it as well. It is a SOLID car, and as a new Mom safety is very important to me. If youre in the market for this class of car dont buy until you test drive a Pilot. We had a very rough winter this year, and I never had any problems in the ice, slush and/or snow.

  Favorite Vehicle since 88 CRX - 2008 Honda Pilot
  By Daniel - April 24 - 2:54 pm

  Purchased on Good Friday at a substantial discount (26% to be exact). It is powerful, roomy, has an excellent feature set, and big! The 2006 makeover gave it a rugged look all its own (instead of a larger 1st Gen CR-V). Gas mileage could be better, although, considering it is a 4WD, 17-18 combined city/highway isnt bad. Have slowed down considerably since moving from a Grand Prix to the Pilot, which helps with gas mileage. Im a pretty big guy and this vehicle fits me very well . . . plenty of headroom, shoulder room, and hip room.

  Honda Pilot Rocks!!! - 2008 Honda Pilot
  By Honda Rocks!!! - April 15 - 11:28 am

  At first I was nervous about driving an SUV. But when I got my Pilot and started driving it, I loved it. I wouldnt go back to driving a car for anything. Awesome drive, safe, roomy, and great in the winter snow, windows never fog up!!! This is the one of the best SUV out there must test drive.

  Was great while it lasted!!! - 2008 Honda Pilot
  By Zecker - April 12 - 12:10 am

  Bought the 08 Pilot a week and half ago and today. I lost it to a rear end collision. The air bags did not deploy which was every odd to me because the lady that hit us was traveling at about 45 mph and we were at a dead stop for traffic. She pushed us about 10 feet forward from our original position and we hit a ford truck off set, the passenger side was toast. You can see where the crumple zones did their jobs to absorb the energy. Thank God my pregnant wife and 2 year old son where ok after the accident. If they total it I sure will get another Pilot.

  Pilot power - 2008 Honda Pilot
  By nancy - April 9 - 4:39 pm

  The Pilot has Power on the road. I did a lot of research on several automobiles I was interested in and decided on the Pilot. I love the Pilot and I feel I made the best decision for my family. The Pilot had everything I needed in safety, comfort, and style. It had the best ratings and beat out all the other SUVs in its class. It also had the best value in price. The service at DCH Paramus Honda (NJ) was great, and my salesman was terrific. I will recommend them to family and friends whenever they need a new car. Go for the Honda Pilot, you will make the right decision.
