  More for the money - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By james - March 29 - 3:34 pm

  We originally stayed away from this vehicle due to the so called expert reviews. Sorry boys but you have missed the mark. We went looking for months and at the end of the day the new Pilot is the choice for those with any common since. The Tahoe is supposedly a full size yet the Pilot with all three seats up can hold something in the rear. "like a cooler!!!!!" The Tahoe, with all the seats up, you could not get a full size cooler in the back. Take a hint Detroit.

  Pilots Rock! - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By Joe - March 27 - 12:18 pm

  As usual, my new 2009 Honda Pilot is everything that you would expect from Honda - solid, reliable, fun, etc. It has all of the features of more expensive SUVs for a reasonable price. I dont have one bad thing to comment on.

  Best Piot yet! - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By shodanusmc - March 24 - 9:56 am

  This is my 2nd Pilot. The first one was an 03, and it ran flawless. The 09 Touring is a big step up. Fun to drive, roomy, quiet, decent power, and a lot of fun toys to make the ride enjoyable. Love the Navi and radio. So far, the first tank averaged 15 mpg in all city. Just a great vehicle. Glad to see the Michelin tires on it also.

  the best foreign car - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By Robert - March 22 - 8:35 pm

  This is the first foreign car I have ever bought. I got it at a very reasonable price. It has great mpg, I have got over 30 mpg on the highway and even higher when Im coasting! I love the bass, its crazy! You use up a lot of gas when you accelerate really fast, and it kind of sounds like a tank. My son talked me into getting it and Im glad he did because I love it.

  I love the Honda. Its very luxurious and has great style inside and out. Fuel Mileage isnt great but its not too bad. Cool features inside like an ipod compatible stereo.

  I purchased my pilot 3 weeks ago. It is so fun to drive and very comfortable. You cant beat a Honda. The turn radius is exceptional. Love the back up camera.

  2009 Pilot has the right combination - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By NMH - August 1 - 7:26 am

  I purchased a "plain Jane" LX FWD version in fall of 2008 because it beat the nearest competition (GMC Arcadia) on interior features, width of roominess and price ($4500 cheaper on base model after all the rebates and negotiation at actual dealers). After 1 year of internet search, two car shows with a measuring tape in hand, I test drove both the Pilot and Arcadia back to back on the same piece of city/highway road on the same day. Pilot has great sound, is smooth and quiet and had the exact room I needed - I wanted to be able to have two 36 in long dog crates kept regularly in the back of the SUV with the 3rd seat down and still be able to have the 2nd row seats up for passengers.

  Love It! - 2009 Honda Pilot
  By nnylfa - June 30 - 6:16 pm

  We were torn between a Toyota Highlander and the Pilot and went with the Pilot because of the cavernous interior and more comfortable seat. We definitely made the right decision! Weve only had the car for about a week. Others have complained about the lack of pick up but we dont have any complaints. We love the interior. Although it feels so roomy, it is much easier to park and maneuver then it looks. I do agree with the others who stated that some of the interior components seem a little cheap. Also, Ive never had a rear wiper before and Ive gotten OCD about keeping the darn thing clean. Are they always so prone to dirt? I seem to be spraying and wiping constantly.
