  Glad I decided to buy it. Its awesome. - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By bpdrumr - April 21 - 11:14 am

  I "traded up" to the 09 Honda Pilot Touring after driving a Honda CRV for 18 months. I had no complaints about my CRV other than I wanted that "luxury" feel and needed more room. I drove many vehicles in my search and decided on the Pilot because it drove the best and gave me exactly what I wanted for a lot less than the Acura MDX and I liked the interior better than the Highlander. The pilot is a dream to drive and although it wont win any races, it has plenty of power. Love at first drive for me. :) My gas mileage is in line with what others seem to be getting. In mixed driving, around 18 mpg.

  2nd Pilot - Worth the Wait! - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By Valerie - April 19 - 12:19 pm

  This is the 2nd Honda Pilot that I have owned. Previously, I had the 2005 Honda Pilot under a lease program. I ordered my 2009 Honda Pilot in Feb 2008. It arrived in June 2008. It was worth the wait. I purchased this one, it was better than leasing it. I have been a Honda fan since 1994. This truck has everything I wanted in a truck and more. Look no further!

  Best Honda I have ever owned!!! - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By Hondalover - April 15 - 2:35 pm

  This is the 4th Pilot I have owned and it is by far the best one yet!! I cant believe all of the extra features on the 09 model. The ride and drive is awesome. I love the automatic back hatch. The bluetooth is great once you have it set up. It is very roomy and comfortable. The navigation system and backup camera are much bigger and clearer. You will not find a car with more features and comfort for the price.

  Functional Delight - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By Mick - April 14 - 3:18 pm

  This is my second Honda after owning a 90 Accord LX that Ive long touted as the best vehicle Ive ever owned. It was an easy choice after shopping the Toyota 4Runner that didnt have the interior space or standard 3rd row seating and the Nissan Pathfinder that lacked interior refinement and the confusing array of packages that came standard with my EX-L. Honda has definitely put a lot of thought into this vehicle. It has been a thrill learning all the things this vehicle is capable of and with all the interior space it keeps my two boys separated and comfortable on long excursions.

  Best in class SUV Hands Down for the $$$ - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By Wes - April 14 - 12:05 pm

  I have had this vehicle close to 3 months now and I love it!!! I test drove the Mazda CX-9, Toyota Highlander, and the Pilot. The Pilot blew away the competition in the areas of ride quality, ease and accessibility, to the 2nd and 3rd row seats, well thought out storage. This Touring model has everything you would need. I love the instrumentation cluster, the integrated IPOD capability, heated seats, NAV. Its actually pretty easy to park this big rig because of the parking sensors and slick rear camera. My daughter enjoys the DVD rear entertainment system with wireless headphones. The 3 zone Climate control is great. Voice command, Hands free link, bluetooth are a dream come true

  Our first Honda - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By Mike L - April 5 - 12:30 pm

  Bought our Pilot in October & have 11000 miles on it already & love it. It hasnt even had a squeak! Just returned from a 4850 mi trip from the Midwest to CA & return & ave 20.5mpg on Interstate, mountain & city driving while having the cargo area quite full, very pleased with that. Wish it had another 35HP in the mountains. Found the Nav MUCH easier to use than the 2005 Sienna we traded.

  A BIG Upgrade - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By Piloteer - March 31 - 10:15 am

  This is my 3rd (and best) Pilot. Its basically a luxury car (feel and look) on the inside and a truck on the outside. I took mine fully loaded with four adults and gear on a 700-mile round trip and got 22mpg, primarily due to the variable cylinder management. The added dash displays make the driver smarter and more cognizant of maximizing opportunities. Im very satisfied with this vehicle all around and recommend it highly. Its a buyers market and mine (fully loaded with crossbars, all-weather mats, side steps, wood trim interior, appearance package) out the door with all taxes, tags, delivery, prep, etc. was under $35,000. Leverage your buying power and get one for yourself!

  Great Family Vehicle - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By Honda4Me - March 30 - 9:13 pm

  Since purchasing this SUV Ive been more than pleased. It makes driving fun again. Its roomy but sleek on the inside. Ive found that it has plenty of power for everyday driving and Ive averaged 20 MPG so far (both city & HWY). After driving domestic cars my whole life I can now see why they are in so much trouble. The Honda Pilot is best in its class in my opinion.
