Cons

  gas prices

Pros

• Dashboard

  Everything pretty much at the fingertips

• Interior Space

  perfect for family of 4, wish I had 3rd row years ago

• Power

  definitely v6 way to go!

Cons

• Dashboard

  Lane assist can be annoying sometimes

• Cost to Maintain

  haven’t been there yet but to be expected

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  Over 30 MPG for 800+ mi trip in non-eco mode

• Reliability

  It's a Honda V6 drivetrain they have made since the 1990s. Don't risk it on these new, geared up drivetrains until they prove themselves.

• Ride and Handling

  Best handling of all 3rd-row SUVs and I have tried many.

Cons

• Styling

  Very standard exterior design by Honda. If you customize your Pilot, you can set your's apart.

Pros

• Reliability

  I wanted a vehicle that would go the distance and yet not sacrifice comfort nor style. It is a beautifully stylish vehicle with ergonomic attention to detail.

• Technology and Entertainment

  The Elite has all the bells and whistles. I particularly enjoy the heated steering wheel on frosty mornings, the rear-seat DVD for my boys, the cavernous cargo area and ability to seat 7 if needed.

• Ride and Handling

  The All Wheel Drive offers security when encountering any challenging road surface or surprise weather condition; the rear view camera makes parking in tight spots and reverse a breeze; the quiet cabin and dual sun roofs make for even more enjoyable road trips.

Cons

Pros

• Seat Comfort

  firm, ventilated leather with heat and air, easy to slide onto, memory settings, third row seats are fully cushioned

• Cargo Space

  seats fold flat easily, flat surface from front seats to the tailgate, wide enough for 48" panel, space behind third row when up

• Power

  eco mode is good on highway, regular mode is better around town and holds revs for power as needed, plus traction choices for mud and snow, combine with solid AWD

Cons

• Dashboard

  touch control display a bit too far from driver (and I have long arms), a firm touch is required, nav system is slow and not very smart even with system updates

• Cabin Noise

  interior is surprisingly noisy, with wind and engine noises surprisingly loud, plus rumble from the firm suspension or stiff tires

• Braking

  brakes have noticeable travel when first used (after 40k miles) with light touch. A firm foot pressure works better, especially on freeway exiting.

Pros
