The first thing that brought my attention to the Honda Pilot was the outside appearance. I was a little apprehensive going from a 5 seater Chevy to a "mom" car and worried I would get stuck with a minivan or something of the sort but this was a pleasant surprise. It's is roomy but doesn't feel huge. I can easily fit my 4 kids in the back with an extra seat between them to minimize the "she's touching me" that will inevitably happen. Overall I have been very happy with my purchase and being able to fit my family of 6 plus our black lab in the back has been a relief.

The Pilot has been dependable with very few issues over the last five years. It maneuvers great during the winter months here in CO. It drives fantastic on mountain terrain. It has tons of space for storage as well as three kids in car seats. Trunk space for groceries and other items while accommodating the car seats is never a problem. Gas mileage for a larger vehicle, I feel, is great on the highway and around town. The interior and extra features in the LTZ model are very nice and easy to use. I feel that the vehicle is very safe, and I feel confident driving it with my children. It is very easy to load the children in and out of the vehicle. Its easy to drive and park. We have driven the car across country a few times with zero issues. The car has been very dependable. A few things that I have not liked is the cost of any maintenance at the Honda dealership. The tinting of the windows has not held up and has begun to bubble and peel. There have been a few items that required the vehicle to go in and be fixed under the extended Honda warranty. This was very inconvenient and concerning. The Honda dealership did get us in right away and fixed the problem with no recurring issues. They did not offer a complimentary vehicle and required that we sit there. The color on the vehicle has held up great, and there is very few marks on the outside of the vehicle. The interior has held up great over these last five years. There are very few marks inside the vehicle. I love that Hondas hold there value, and this is one reason I would purchase another Honda on our next car purchase. Payment was not an issue when buying the Honda Pilot. We used financing and turned our Chevy Equinox in for a fare price. We have paid off this vehicle and now own it.
