Overview & Reviews

Changes to the 2006 Honda Pilot SUV include standard side curtain airbags for all three rows and freshened headlight, taillight and wheel designs. A maintenance minder system has also been added to all Pilots. The optional navigation system now has a 7-inch screen and a reverse-parking assist camera. The EX trim level now has standard foglights this year, and EXs with leather seating get standard XM Satellite Radio. Also new this year is a front-wheel-drive Pilot with Honda's fuel-saving Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) feature for its V6 engine. Finally, stated power output for the Pilot's V6 engine has dropped slightly due to Honda's adoption of a new SAE horsepower-rating procedure.

  Good all-around SUV - 2006 Honda Pilot
  By Lyle - April 20 - 2:03 am

  A solid, reasonably comfortable, responsive SUV. Does what it is supposed to due and reasonably economical. 17-21 mpg. Changed out the factory tires (Goodyear Integrity) to Bridgestone REVOs and it made all the difference in the world in the snow and wet conditions. The Integritys were down right dangerous in the sleet and snow. Only problem is that now the Tire Pressure Monitoring System does not work. Dealer scratches head over this but will continue to try to solve problem. The heated seats take forever to warm up also. Lots of room and a comfortable and predictable vehicle in all weather conditons (with replacement tires). Column shifter is stiff.

  Good all around vehicle - 2006 Honda Pilot
  By RJS - April 7 - 9:08 pm

  Acceptable ride and comfort that is not compromised by its midsized chasis. Unfortunately, the GY Integrity tires are more design for summer driving than all season. The car deserves either a higher performance tire or a more suitable all season. Could use a bit more low rpm torque. No competition in the segment offers better interior space utilization. Now if this car could be available in a diesel or hybrid version!

  Nothing can touch it! - 2006 Honda Pilot
  By HondaGuy - March 19 - 10:23 am

  This is hands down the best SUV on the road, the price and performance cant be beat. Every Christmas I take my family from Houston to Chicago, 1100 miles with wife and three kids. This year we traded up the old minivan for the pilot, and I was a little scared we wouldnt have enough room for everything and still be comfortable. I was so wrong. Everything fit, the kids had enough room, and I averaged 25 mpg. My minivan couldnt make it over 20 mpg on the same trip. I highly recommend this vehicle to any family needing an all around great kid hauler.

  No regrets! - 2006 Honda Pilot
  By Dan - March 18 - 2:56 am

  I had a 2005 sentra se-r spec V, but i wanted something more comfortable and bigger, so someone recommended a Pilot, i went to the dealership and fell in love with it. I went for a test drive and the ride was amazing so i decided right there and then to get it. Signed the papers and picked up on Monday. I am Loving every minute in that car, I look for excuses to drive somewhere. Def. worth every penny. The ride comfort can easily compete with high end luxury cars. No regrets here.

  The perfect all-around vehicle - 2006 Honda Pilot
  By HondaPittsburgh - March 4 - 3:00 pm

  Bought in 2006. Drove I-90 from Erie to Buffalo for 15 months. With Michelin snow tires never got stuck, never had to slow down much in the winter. Ive had 8 adults in it comfortably and 5 of us on vacation. Hauls people and their stuff. Great seat flexibility. Incredibly comfortable highway car. Consistently gets 20MPG. Havent spent a dime of unexpected maintenance in 48000 miles. Road noise issue goes away once you replace the Bridgestone Duelers. Feels incredibly safe. Feels a bit big at first but easy to get use to. If I could only own one vehicle - and it had to do everything - this would be it.

  love it - 2006 Honda Pilot
  By karen - February 21 - 6:20 pm

  I love pretty much everything about this car. It is a great alternative for those of us who dont want to drive a mini-van but still want to have all that room and comfort. Great space inside. I have sat in the third row with my son on an hour and a half drive and it was okay. I do not suggest any longer than that for adults, but plenty of space for the wee ones. I love the gear shift on the steering column, it frees up the center console for other things like my purse. It is a very comfortable car to drive and I drive over an hour to work. I love the fact that the second row of seats recline, it makes it so much more comfortable on a long drive.

  Cant go wrong with a Pilot - 2006 Honda Pilot
  By Lovin Our Pilot - February 21 - 5:43 am

  We just got our of our 2004 Explorer. The Explorer is not even close to being on the same level!! Our kids love the DVD and my wife and I enjoy the XM radio. I dont know that we will ever own any other make of vehicle. The price is close to any comparable vehicle. Its really fun to drive and ride in.

  Love my Pilot! - 2006 Honda Pilot
  By Linda - February 20 - 7:23 am

  I have previously owned a Civic and a CRV, and traded in a 2003 xterra for my Pilot because I missed having a Honda. It is very comfortable to drive, and I love how big the back is when you put down the 3rd row seats, since I have to fit a stroller back there. My husband wasnt sure I needed a car this big, but now he loves it too!

  Honda Pilot EX 2WD - 2006 Honda Pilot
  By Leo - December 22 - 6:06 am

  Very quiet, strong for a V6, some times it take a delay changing speeds from higher to lower, not so good on fuel economy, but after all my wife and I are Happy with it a lot better than our 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee

  King of SUV - 2006 Honda Pilot
  By Raj - December 11 - 2:26 am

  Has been using this from May 2006. Had around 26K miles. Driven from East Coast to West Cost. Most comfortable to drive. Mileage is 16-20 which is OK for the size of this vehicle. Navigation & rear view camera are the best in its class. While driving in Nebraska at 75MPH. Suddenly We thought the engine was shut off. It was so quiet. If the roads are bad then there is s lot of road noise. The SUV behaves more like a car then an SUV. I used it in almost all weather conditions, The vehicle is rock solid. Use the vehicle for 3 months. Then it becomes a part of your life. I heard similar comments from other owners. The only flip side is No iPod Jack & DVD entertainment.
