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.

• Roomy interior with eight-passenger seating, versatile storage and cargo-hauling abilities, many standard features, comfortable ride, smooth power delivery.

  Extremely reliable, comfortable to drive with adequate hauling power. Gas mileage better than most comparable SUVs. Has plenty of room and great on long trips

  Very Happy - 2006 Honda Pilot
  By Rob - December 3 - 1:47 pm

  Purchased at the end of the model year and got about as good of a deal as you can get on a Pilot. Weve owned a few SUVs prior to the Pilot - all were more off-road capable, truck-based SUVs. Bottom line - the Pilot is perfect for us. The car-like handling, fuel consumption and responsiveness trump the abstract notion of off-road capabilities. This a family hauler. After comparing a lot of vehicles, the Pilot had more usable space than anything in its class. The interior is simple, but very nice. Hard to beat in the sub $35k class. Hard to justify additional $8k for MDX.

  We love it!!!!!!!!!!! - 2006 Honda Pilot
  By Keith Moore - November 27 - 8:46 pm

  We traded our 03 Pilot EXL for an 06 EXL with DVD. The Pilot has definitely improved and we were extremely satisfied with our 03! More standard features now offered (sunroof, heated seats, 6 disc in-dash CD, etc.). The drive is better than ever and the improved interior cosmetic changes (dash light color - never liked the green!, leather surfaces, improved A/C vents, etc.) are welcomed changes, in my opinion. If you have/had any drving experiences with previous Pilots, youll definitely like the 06. Would still like to see memory seats, back glass windshield open separate from the tailgate, lighted steering wheel controls, and 17 inch wheels (still looks top heavy with 16s).

  Think 3 times - 2006 Honda Pilot
  By upset - November 21 - 10:47 am

  Ask for a 6 cyl, and you get a car that drops to a 4 cyl to "save gas"! Well it isnt gas efficient, and if i wanted a 4 cyl, i would have bought a crv. this is not a comfortable car, road noise is loud, not very roomy for anyone over 53". honda could have done much better, for the sticker price. i now see why it was back on the lot just after a year, and only after driving it 45 days, it will be on the lot again!!!!

  Think twice - 2006 Honda Pilot
  By Regretful - November 14 - 10:08 am

  Well, all the rave about the Pilot is over rated. Its a 6 cylinder...then a 4 cylinder! I needed a 6 cyl...as told repeated to the salesman...to tow heavy handicap equipment for my mother. I am disappointed in the road noise, but mostly Honda itself. Why tell people this is a great car? Maybe it is for most. But when you need specifics, Chapman Tucson should have directed me to something more to my needs. 30 days later, I am trading it in!

  My Best Car - 2006 Honda Pilot
  By Bob G - October 25 - 7:58 am

  My 2006 Honda Pilot was my first SUV. It is also the first vehicle I have owned that never required a visit to the dealer or repair shop. It was perfect from the day I started the engine. I have owned GM and Chrysler products in the past, so have a pretty good basis of comparison. A Honda will be my next choice.

  Love my Pilot! - 2006 Honda Pilot
  By sosquilter - October 11 - 1:49 pm

  i bought the 2006 Pilot after owning a minivan for 5 years and I love my Pilot. The ride is very nice and the interior extremely comfortable. I have lower back problems and have never had any additional pain from driving the Pilot, even on long trips. The 3rd Row seats are wonderful for my children and quite roomy. Ive read other reviews that state they dont receive very good gas mileage, but I keep track and I average about 17 mpg with mostly city driving so I am very happy with the performance. I will certainly look at the updated model when it is released to replace my 06 model. I truly love my Pilot!

  Excellent...!!!!!!! Value for the Money - 2006 Honda Pilot
  By Hello - October 3 - 1:20 am

  Excellent vehicle, Value for your money. Cheaper than other competitors with navigation. Got the Pilot with Navigation. Excellent vehicle. Good control and having comfortable seating for 5 adults and in Third row kids can sit. Navigation is the coolest feature. Very helpful when driving during detour roads.

  Awesome - 2006 Honda Pilot
  By ally - September 30 - 10:06 pm

  After much research we decided to move from a CR-V to a Pilot. It is awsome. Rides like a car! We have had other SUVs and non have the ride of the Pilot.

  Best Safest Suv Made Hands Down - 2006 Honda Pilot
  By Pilot king - September 29 - 10:06 pm

  I have Had my Pilot for almost three years now and I still love getting into it every day. I had a Toyota Rav-4 before. The Pilot is the most comfortable, safest, reliable vehicle I have ever driven. I drive 350 miles round trip to my beach house and after 7 knee operations this is the only vehicle that can get me there pain free. If you read a bad review about the Honda Pilot it was probably a rare lemon which can happen with any vehicle.
