2012 Honda Pilot

Great vehicle

Wednesday, June 03, 2020

I bought mine with 110000 miles and have put about 20000 miles on it in 3 years. It is a great vehicle. I bought it over other similar vehicles because it actually has a usable towing capacity without going to a Tahoe. I did install a VCM disabler which makes it so much nicer to drive. Without it, between the transmission changing gears and the cylinders going on and off, it just doesn't drive smoothly. From what I understand, it also reduces the chances of having the excessive oil consumption problem. It does decrease the MPG slightly. Fuel consumption is not bad for such a large SUV, 22-23 on the highway, and the handling is also good for an SUV. A little on the ugly side but not so bad that I am embarrassed to drive it. I do wish the tow capacity was a little higher but it is the highest in its class without going to a full size SUV.

All-around excellent value and fun to drive

We have owned this vehicle for nine months, and the more I drive it, the more I like it. We drive in traffic and it's nice to be able to see what's going on in front of you. It's plenty roomy, maneuverable, and fun. The ventilation controls are different than our Accord, so I always have to look, but there are numerous options. Overall, I like driving it better than any vehicle we have owned, including our Maxima station wagon and either of our Accords, which I really enjoyed. We've driven nothing but Hondas for 12 years, and they have been unfailingly reliable so far.

My third pilot, I also have a 2005 Pilot

The car has been great for value and ride. Gas mileage on a straight trip is approx. 25 mpg. and 20 around local area. Lots of room and has the third seat if needed. Lots of cargo room.
