Very reliable vehicle in all aspects. Pleasure to drive and lots of room for a family and friends. It has the most comfortable and easily accessible third row. We have used it often and with ease. We also love the way the seats slide and fold into many different configurations depending on the need. It is noisier than most SUVs. We love the fact the kids are very comfortable and that we have seating for a lot of their friends as well. For a mid-sized SUV, it performed very well compared to similar SUVs as far as ride handling fuel mileage and comfort. The size is great for a smaller SUV, and it actually looks like an SUV not a crossover. The price for them can get high, though its' a Honda. Safety ratings were awesome compared to others that are on the market. My son flies remote control airplanes, and with the second- and third-row seat in the down position, all of his equipment and planes will fit inside with no problem. One of the only complaints I have had with the Honda Pilot is the factory towing setup. The Honda Pilot comes from the factory with a class three-trailer hitch but has no trailer light plugs available without a separate purchase from the dealer to add the wiring harness.
