Sound system is sub par compared to other factory systems I've owned. Some of the leather interior seems too soft to maintain durability of a long period. ALSO... The seat belt warning drives me INSANE. Even though I wear my seat belt 99 percent of the time and encourage seat belt use, I don't believe it's my vehicles job, or car manufacturers job to tell me to wear it or to drive me CRAZY by having an obnoxious "ding" when not wearing it. There are times when riding as a passenger when we've been on long road trips that I wanted to take it off for comfort only for a few minutes. I REALIZE that it may not be a good idea to do so and that I'm taking a risk, but STILL it's my decision to do so. I DO NOT need a vehicle to remind me that my belt is not on. I think it would be a good idea for an automatic dinger to come on when a driver or passenger smoke a cigarette in the vehicle reminding them that they're not good for them as well as others around them, (and that they're a distraction) but that doesn't happen. And, for this reason alone, I may strongly consider never owning another Honda again!!

The 2009 Honda Pilot Limited has a few shortcomings. My vehicle does not get particularly stellar gas mileage; if I average 19 MPG, that is on the high end. I also do not like the lack of space behind the third row of seating, though that is somewhat understandable. Some of the settings are also complex, and the dash is full of buttons to press; this vehicle has a learning curve associated with it.
