  Love my 2017 Pilot Touring - 2017 Honda Pilot
  By Virginia Rathje - January 20 - 10:00 pm

  I bought the Touring model because the Elite model did not have the right side camera, only blind spot indicator in both mirrors. I would say the blind spot indicator in the left hand side would be handy, but prefer the camera on the right. There are so many things I love about this Pilot that I cant pick out one favorite. Engine Idle stop at a light is awesome. Push button shift is fabulous. Navigation takes some time to figure out the ins and outs, but it is great. Love the Adapative Cruise Control and Lane departure warning.

  I drove almost every SUV out there - 2017 Honda Pilot
  By Mike - August 22 - 7:37 am

  Extremely quiet and comfortable. I got 32 MPG on a new tank over a 4+ hour drive to New York. I drove every SUV out there before deciding on the Pilot. I had a CRV for 11 years and wanted another but, even though the CRV gets all of the rave reviews, I wasnt overly impressed by the drive. Im 64 and really wanted quiet comfort. The step up to the 6 cyl in the Pilot was what I needed.

  Nicest ride Ive ever owned...... - 2017 Honda Pilot
  By Mike - July 5 - 5:54 am

  This is a great vehicle. I dont see what the fuss is about the radio not having "buttons", just use the steering wheel controls. I bought a close out 2017 EXL as Edmunds recommended. I passed on the sensing but went for the AWD. No need to Nav or RES. I was able to get 0.9% financing along with $1,500 below invoice using Costco pricing and haggling with 2 different dealers. I looked at the Highlander and Acadia. No contest. Highlander is way to small and the GMC/Chevy dont hold their value. Traded in our 2013 Toyota Sienna, which I thought was a pretty good vehcile, until I drove the Pilot. After the test drive, I was hooked and had to have one. Besides the ride and fit and finish, I really enjoy the apple car play and the how you can customize a lot of the settings in the radio. That said, I have 2 gripes. 1. no 3rd row floormat AND you cant buy one from Honda unless you buy all the floormats? So, I bought one from Lloyds mats ($34). It is just really odd that this isnt included in the EXL. 2. No 12V acc plug in the 2nd row. My 2005 has one, why not my 2017? So, I bought a 6ft plug to put in the front and stretch back to the second row. Again, really odd. You get one with the RES but not in the base EXL. Other than that, you will love this car.

  My wifes new car - 2017 Honda Pilot
  By Rob Brown - April 28 - 12:43 pm

  On the whole, excellent. We love this car. Only real downsides are that the radio/display is sluggish. Plan on a full second delay before response. The cruise control lane assist is a bit aggressive for my liking. I tend to use the full width of the lane not just the center.

  Very happy - 2017 Honda Pilot
  By LG - January 28 - 12:43 am

  Loving my Pilot so far. Its spacious and comfortable but still easy to maneuver and fit into parking spaces and my garage. Love all the safety and other convenience features as well. Have also been pleasantly surprised by MPG considering I drive a combo of city and highway (with lots of traffic). I have no complaints yet!

  Just Bought the Elite - 2017 Honda Pilot
  By Elitist - January 8 - 4:23 pm

  I found the Pilot brochure confusing. The included options list implies that the Elite has everything the other models have plus more stuff. Not quite true. It does not tell you what is left out, so its not completely clear what you are getting. Lane Watch is included in lesser models and I expected it should also be on the Elite. It isnt. Some reviews dislike Lane Watch because it takes your eyes away from the road. The Owners Guide is inadequate. Photos are too small. Honda should include a full size Owners Manual. Sure, you can go to their website and download the 679 pages and print it yourself but for a $50,000 Elite, youd think they would give you one. The Guide shows an option that the Elite should have but doesnt. That is Folding Mirrors. This option would help to protect your mirrors from damage by folding them inwards. Even though the Guide covers it, I did not see it listed as a feature on any of the models. I have yet to use the shifting paddles. I have not found any information yet on how to use them. Ill keep looking. Though not stylish, the Elite is very comfortable and has a lot of cargo space.

  Pilot Flies High - 2017 Honda Pilot
  By James Nowell - October 27 - 6:33 am

  The Honda Pilot is a very well built, high quality automobile. It drives good, rides good, and is very quiet on the road. It is filled with technology----almost to a fault. It will take my wife and me some time to learn all of its features. It is very smooth and is getting very good gas mileage. I cant imagine that any SUV being made could have more features than does the Pilot. It is also very roomy. It also has all wheel drive and stability control, so is very sure footed in rain or snow.

  Excellent overall 7-seat SUV - 2017 Honda Pilot
  By languer - March 30 - 10:44 am

  The 2017 Pilot EX-L is overall an excellent 7-seat SUV. We researched several ones including Pathfinder, Explorer, Highlander, Traverse. One of our main needs was the third row seating. Overall the value of the Pilot is excellent. The performance is excellent, the quality is well known, and it has everything a family may need; from extra USB ports, to three-way climate control, to blind spot monitoring, to many other features that are all standard in the Pilot.
