  Honda Pilot First Impressions - 2008 Honda Pilot
  By Carabel - April 2 - 3:13 pm

  Safety and reliability is what made me look at the Pilot to replace a Toyota minivan. For the value of the current incentives, it is too good to pass up. It is a great choice for a family vehicle. The interior is logical and the exterior, well, its a traditional SUV look. I like the Pilot but I wouldnt label it as a stand out. I do recommend it for its practical purpose and Hondas good safety name. I also feel that Honda treats their customers better.

  Great SUV - 2008 Honda Pilot
  By Soccer3564 - April 1 - 8:49 pm

  I have been researching this SUV for a while now and it far surpasses what I expected. The interior design is more for utility not luxury.

  Its a Honda!! - 2008 Honda Pilot
  By Its a Honda - March 27 - 6:50 pm

  This is one sweet ride. Have owned two other Hondas in past 10 years. Both sedans, needed more room to haul more people and stuff. The Pilot is just the ticket. The ride is smooth and very quiet. Leather heated seats are a nice plus. Room for 8 if needed. Smart styling and Honda reliability. I looked at other American made SUVs and could not do it. Honda reliability has a powerful way of keeping customers coming back. Hondas do seem to sell themselves. Well done Honda!!!

  "its a Honda" - 2008 Honda Pilot
  By Jeff - March 21 - 6:26 pm

  Well we finally pulled the trigger and purchased the 2008 Pilot EX-L AWD. We first test drove the VP, then the EX- L. The leather seats are far more comfortable, heated seats too! Nice...It handles very well, plenty of zip, and Honda reliability. I thought about buying an American product for about 2 seconds, then came to my senses. This is our third new Honda, Civic/Accord, now Pilot. My fellow Americans, before you buy anything else, test drive this car.

  Best Midsize SUV - 2008 Honda Pilot
  By Vanz of Tx - March 19 - 9:26 am

  Solid on road handling, easy to learn interior features(like the Navigation sys),lots of room for 8, safety and reliability. Although 16 MPG for city, very efficient on long distant driving. The drive is so comfortable...good job Honda!

  Best of all worlds - 2008 Honda Pilot
  By Brian - March 7 - 8:48 pm

  We replaced our 2005 Chrysler Pacifica (boat) with this truck and are loving it. The Pilot is so much lighter on its feet and nimble in the urban jungle. Driving is quiet and smooth on all roads and its great in the snow! Wife loves that it heats up quick on sub-zero MN winter mornings. Husband loves the acceleration and visibility from sitting up high in the cockpit. Kids love the DVD and parents love the wireless headsets for quiet long trips to grandparents.

  Safe, reliable, and oh so sweet! - 2008 Honda Pilot
  By joeyjoejoe - February 26 - 4:37 pm

  We have been driving our new VP AWD Pilot for almost a month now and absolutely love it! We decided to take the plunge because of the horrible weather weve been having in the MidWest and we also plan to start a family soon. Ive owned many Hondas, so owning a Pilot was always a goal of mine. I have to say that it has delivered up to my expectations hands- down. We plan to add a few extras like a towing package, all season floor mats, and a remote starter in the near future. We only went with the base VP model without all the bells and whistles and everyone still compliments on how nice and luxurious it looks. We were comparing the Pilot to many other SUVs and it easily beat them out.

  Best Bang for Your Buck - 2008 Honda Pilot
  By T&T - February 24 - 10:43 pm

  The 2008 Honda Pilot is a great deal, pricewise (especially with big rebates now) and quality. Honda has had over 5 yrs to work out any bugs from an already solid SUV, so I feel like I own one of the most reliable vehicles on the road. In addition, it has enough pep, is versatile and roomy inside (we love the 60/40 split 3rd row seat for extra passengers when needed without shuffling around the car seats in the second row). It rides like a heavy-feeling, rather sporty car instead of a "floaty" truck- like truck. It’s a Honda with great resale.

  Loving The Pilot - 2008 Honda Pilot
  By novol - February 13 - 5:24 pm

  We recently traded in a Volvo XC90 for the Pilot and are loving it. The interior is quite spacious and having a third row seat is a wonderful convenience. The interior integrity compared to other makes we looked at does not compare. I think we will keep this car for awhile.

  Great SUV - 2008 Honda Pilot
  By mike - February 4 - 12:16 am

  Had a 2004 Pilot loved it and bought the 2wd 2008. Great car and love the Hondas reliability.Gas mileage on the 2wd seems much better than my 2004. Live in Ohio and 2wd doesnt seem much different than my 2004 awd. Love the XM feature on the radio, no more looking for stations on trips.
