Cons: Wide wing span due to side mirrors; no electric slide for passenger seat

The Bottom Line: Got to think hard and search to be critical

Review: Since 1981 I have owned Toyotas (truck and sedan), Nissans (mini vans), and Hondas (sedans). This is my first SUV which I leased on July 1, 2006. So, after 18 months I think that I have enough experience with it to comment, and because I am convinced ...

Pros: Great value, fun to drive, very practical.

Cons: Looks like a Toyota Highlander, Mileage could be better.

The Bottom Line: Great value in a solid vehicle.

Review: The 2006 Honda Pilot EX-L was my first Honda, and I can tell already it will not be the my last. The Pilot is a confident vehicle with excellent handling, a very comfortable interior, plenty of storage, and a profile small enough to move around in the ...

Pros: XM Radio, entertainment system, seating options make it great for family travel.

Cons: Gas mileage not what we hoped it would be.

The Bottom Line: I would absolutely recommend this SUV to anyone who has an active family and doesn't want a mini-van.

Review: Okay, I'll admit to not being a "car person," I don't know or care about all the technical/mechanical specifications of the car I drive. What matters to me is whether or not the vehicle works for my lifestyle. The Pilot is definitely a lifestyle ...

Pros: Incredible overall performance.

Cons: Lower Gas Mileage.

The Bottom Line: This is a great medium size SUV with great looks and performance.

Review: The 2006 Honda Pilot EX with four wheel drive is the best vehicle that I ever owned. The exterior and interior of the vehicle are of the highest quality and beautiful to look at. We love the exterior blue color and the gray interior. The outside ...

Pros: Safety features, great turning radius, amount of space for the money, extras

Cons: Gas mileage compared to mid-size cars, weird glare on windshield

The Bottom Line: Great car for the money!

Review: I traded in my 2001 Nissan Maxima and got a Pilot about a month ago. We were looking for a mid-sized SUV that was easy to drive and didn’t feel like a truck. We also tested out the Toyota Highlander, BMW X3, and Honda CRV but decided the Pilot was ...

Pros: safety, value, XM radio, performance, ride, versatility, cargo capacity

Cons: Auto day/night mirror, roof rack cross bars, and roadside assistance should be standard.

The Bottom Line: The Honda Pilot is an outstanding vehicle for the money.

Review: I recently traded a 2002 Acura MDX for a 2006 Honda Pilot. I purchased my MDX new and drove it over 80,000 miles. It was not as trouble free as it's reputation might indicate. The most serious problem was a tranny replacement which Acura took care of ...

Pros: Great ride Intuitive controls

Cons: Worse gas mileage than my minivan but worth it

The Bottom Line: I'd buy this vehicle again in a minute and recommend it to everyone I know

Review: We have owned FIVE Chrysler minivans over a 21 yr period - I know, it's hard to believe. But with 3 kids it was a good choice for us. But I was so sick of driving a minivan! Two kids in college, time to get something new and exciting for a change. We ...

Pros: Reliability, attractive design, SAFTEY ratings

Cons: Low gas mileage (above average for a mid-sized SUV)

The Bottom Line: Honda's quaility and saftey is unsurpassed and leaves all other car manufacturers in the dust.

Review: This is the third Honda vehicle our family has owned and our new 2006 Pilot lives up to the reputation that has kept us returning to Honda for our needs. Here's why: Safety: Honda beats most other car brands because side air bags are standard in all ...

Pros: Spacious, comfortable, 3rd row seat

Cons: road noise, boxy style, electronic fuel pedal sensor

The Bottom Line: I recommend the Honda Pilot to anyone. Luxury and space with a reasonable price tag. You know it will last because it is a HONDA.

Review: I was test driving used Acura MDX models when I accidentally saw the new 2006 Honda Pilot. I drove the Pilot and was sold practically on sight. The interior is so spacious and comfortable. It is almost identical to the Acura MDX without the huge price ...

Pros: Acceleration, ease of driving,woofer,wheels, center consoles, tilt wheel with radio controls, cargo room.

Cons: Column shifter, no cargo cover, crossbars,power passenger seat,moon roof option for EX.

The Bottom Line: The Honda research went into this one

Review: I compared the Pathfinder, 4Runner, and Explorer. The Explorer had the most features for 30k. The 2006 Pathfinder and 4runner were nice but look a little odd with all the flares, grilles, and straight wheel wheels. The Honda is conservative, but ...
