  Awesome vehicle - 2016 Honda Pilot
  By Elizabeth Hance - October 7 - 8:36 am

  I had a 15 Pilot and just purchased a 16 AWD Pilot and it is like night and day! The drive is a totally different feel! I absolutely love my car! The only complaint is with the touch screen. I wish they had something to go over the screen so you dont see all the finger prints. And sometimes when I first crank the preset radio stations do not show. But I just power off the radio and restart it. Love love my new Pilot!!

  The best SUV of 2016 - 2016 Honda Pilot
  By Jim Anderson - October 5 - 9:18 am

  I have tried Highlander 2012 for four years and owning this car for 3 months and see that Honda Pilot is above everything than Toyota Highlander. Its definetely best SUV.

  New addition to the family - 2016 Honda Pilot
  By Susan Powell - September 6 - 11:40 pm

  Spent 6 weeks researching this class of vehicle. Even though none of them met all my requirements, the Pilot met most. Unlike its competitors where I felt like a sardine in a supposed "mid size" SUV, the Pilot just makes me feel overall comfortable in it! Kind of like your favorite chair! Just got it home last night due to having to wait 3 1/2 weeks for it to be delivered to the dealer. Apparently they are in big demand and dealers cant keep them on the lots. So, I havent put it through its paces yet. A trip to the North Georgia mountains will be its first non-urban driving test. Some things Id like to see Honda change: more insulation against road noise, more cup holders up front, less tilt to display screen, lower the back hatch entrance to help with lifting heavy objects into back (its too high), offer standard moon roof on lower end models, brighten up exterior color options (way too much gray/black...yuk!). So far I love it!

  Best family mid size suv - 2016 Honda Pilot
  By ram sharma - July 8 - 1:24 pm

  7 adults can be seated comfortably, superior handling on freeways and village roads too, city 20/21 mpg, highway 26.1 mpg. Best inclass outward visibility, lots of storage space and cup holders, only downside Honda should offer navigation on the available 8" touch screen.

  So far, so good - 2016 Honda Pilot
  By yossarian - May 27 - 6:03 pm

  Have about 500 miles on the car so far. The entire family likes it. It replaced an Infiniti JX35, and everyone likes it better that that car. We have none of the radio, bluetooth or shifting problems mentioned by other 2016 Pilot owners (yet?). The radio is fine; in fact, it is better than average. Ditto for the nine-speed tranny. Works great - and much better than Infinitis CVT. Adequately powered. Good gas mileage. And it takes regular gas. The car is quiet. Well soundproofed, with acoustic glass. Very little wind noise, engine noise or tire noise. Every seat is comfortable. Plenty of storage, including storage behind the third seats. I was expecting to hate the entertainment system / user interface, but I dont. I wish it had volume knobs, but it has a permanent volume "touch slider" that is relatively easy to find, plus volume knobs on the steering wheel. And it is very easy to program-in favorite programs, which are then readily accessible. HVAC system has separate, permanent, easy to find and use controls. Plenty of USB ports. Steering is much more precise than the Infiniti, which felt like it had a rubber band connected between the steering wheel and front wheels. Infiniti liked to wander everywhere, except in a straight line (and the Infinitis "loose" steering made it tiresome to keep it going in a straight line). Pilot tracks straight. As for technology, it has virtually everything except 360 degree, birds eye view cameras. Im not a big fan of the push-button shifter, but I expect it just takes time to get used to it. I cant speak to reliability of dealer service yet. I will update the review at a later time.

  Buy this car - now! - 2016 Honda Pilot
  By Greg Gagne - March 26 - 8:03 pm

  Just picked up 16 Touring. This thing is sick. I cant believe the negatives reviews on the tranny! Are you people nuts? Stop overthinking and just drive the damn car. The 9-speed is sweet. The touch screen is sweet. Who cares about fingerprints. The touch is seamless and responds beautifullly. No hard knob to control volume? Anyone who cares about that is too old to appreciate modern tech. Thats akin to complaining about not having a CD player. The Garmin looks nice but I just use Waze via Bluetooth. No I dont get the graphic but the turn prompts suffice and if they dont I can just look down to see whats up. Waze is just so much better than any Nav. Search capabilities are remarkable and who doesnt want to know about 5-0 up ahead? Bluetooth integration is perfect. Streaming The Dead through Pandora never sounded so good. Leather is very nice and I simply love this car. Technology is slick, although my prior car was a 2005 Acura RL, so Ive had proximity sensors for key fob for quite some time. People, dont buy a Highlander...dont buy a Grand Idiot Cherokee (way more off-road capability than most of the chumps buying it would ever even begin to know how to use)...dont buy a Yukon (unless you bought a boat you cant afford); buy a Pilot (2016 that is- the prior ones sucked). If youre intelligent and want a sick family SUV to make memories in, buy this car now! You can thank me later.

  Pilot Elite Takes Taps Safety Technology - 2016 Honda Pilot
  By Steve - March 12 - 5:05 am

  I have owned many, many vehicles, and hands down the 2016 Honda Pilot Elite is a joy to drive. It takes some practice and getting used to. Its superior navigation and entertainment systems, technology, handling, convenience features, and responsiveness all combine to make this vehicle one of the safest vehicles on the road and the Pilot Elite - all around - is the best vehicle I have ever owned.
