2007 Honda Pilot EX-L 4dr SUV w/Rear Entertainment System (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

So that I can turn this dog back in. No way I'd ever consider buying it. Interior seems to be an afterthought. Was nice at first but no ipod jack. Heck, even a Ford Focus has this. Toyota next time

Favorite Features

Good paint and fit. Spare tire has decent access. Good ride for SUV, not sloppy and soft. Pretty good in a record Wisconsin winter.

Suggested Improvements

Yikes, some updating would be nice. Kind of like a 1998 Trooper

Great car, if only gas mileage better

Review

5 of last 6 cars my wife & I owned were Honda's. We are very satisfied with them and the Pilot is no exception. It rides well & has great driver's seat room (I am 6' 4"). You definitely won't feel cramped in the car. It also is very quiet. After 5000 miles I average 13 miles to gallon, but I only drive in the city. I was looking more for the 17 it said on the sticker. If it were not for the gas I would say this car is fantastic!

Favorite Features

Large interior space, quiet ride, handles almost like a car, not like a truck ride at all

Suggested Improvements

Gas Mileage

Review

We leased this 2007 pilot 4wd LX. I break-in this SUV very well so now I can get 0-60 mph w/in 6 seconds. MPG is average for an SUV. Driving is great, especially in the snow, but not in dynamic actions. A lot of noise in rough roads, but like riding on a boat while in highways.Engine and transmission are great!

Favorite Features

4WD, suspension and steering

Suggested Improvements

Get that noise away! Wider rims and tires

Review

I love this car. It is comfortable and has many nice luxury features. One can't go wrong with a Honda. More expensive than other suvs and the inside features are worth it. Gas mileage is very poor. Had I know this, I might had purchased the Toyota 4 Runner. If you want luxury, this is the car for you. If you want to tow or help the environment, steer clear.

Favorite Features

3rd row folds down, climate control for front and back seats, storage space, roomy inside

Suggested Improvements

I pod hookup, passenger seat should be automatic, towing capacity needs to be increased, and the most important item is fuel economy. I am not a speed demon and I get 16 MPG. Run the AC and get 14. Not good for a two wheel drive, 6 cylinder car. Very disappointed for company claiming to be green.

Review

The Pilot was great, and I certainly would not have traded it in, but the mice decided to make it home. They had no problem getting in and out of the interior, which doesn't work with a young child. Other than that and the poor gas mileage (15 MPG) I liked the car. I do not have the same rodent problem with my 07 Ridgeline

Favorite Features

Comfort. Fit and Finish

Suggested Improvements

Keep the mice out!!!

Review

What can you say, it's a Honda! Rugged Reliable, good on gas for its size. I get a solid 20 mpg highway and about 16 in mixed driving. Low maintenance needed and I do most myself. After near 40,000 miles, not a single problem. Comfortable, but needs to be set up for nav and sat radio

Favorite Features

Electronic stability control, and AWD when needed saved my bacon a few times this winter. Very comfortable for an over 6 footer like me.

Suggested Improvements

Better set up for add on items like GPS and Sat radio.

Review

We have owned our Pilot for 8 months and have been very happy with it. We were looking for a smaller SUV that could still seat 8 people if needed. The back seats are cramped when you have 8 people or children in the car but are adequate for short trips. The acceleration is good and it has a tighter turning radius than our last vehicle (Chevy Impala) which makes it nice for parking. The fuel mileage isn't all I had hoped that it would be - about 16-18 mpg city and about 22 highway. Doesn't have automatic headlights which took some time getting used to.

Favorite Features

Sunroof (optional), xm radio, 8 person seating capacity

Suggested Improvements

Fuel mileage, automatic headlights

Review

I leased my 2007 Honda Pilot last year in summer. Just after getting home with it I heard the horror stories about mice. I thought OK so maybe some people have problems with mice. Hopefully I don't. No such luck, I just got back from paying the dealership to remove a mouse from the blower housing. Wonderful! This is not a small problem apparently, this is a big one! Honda has been very silent about this longstanding problem and is not stepping up to the plate to solve it. I must say that we have had mostly Chev/GMC products up to this Honda and we have NEVER had a problem with mice. I am thinking of putting signs on the windows of my Honda advertising what a mouse house it is!

Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements

Sit up Honda, pay attention to all your customers and do something about your design flaws! Customer satisfaction should be #1 not #101.

Review

I cannot say enough positive about the Honda Pilot. We are a family of four, with two dogs and have never felt more safe in a vehicle. The ride is fabulous and sure. Lots of room. Seats 8 if needed, otherwise lots of storage room in the back. The best of all in its class.

Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements

Gas mileage.

2007 Honda Pilot EX-L 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

This is a great SUV. Roomier and better build quality than any other I test drove. Very smooth shifting and good acceleration. Quiet ride and responsive handling (considering its size). I have the 2WD version with the "ECO" feature. Seems to work as advertised (getting about 18-20 city/22-24 highway).

Favorite Features

Plenty of storage and seating flexibility. If you have kids under 5' tall, the 3rd row seating is a must on longer trips (peace maker). The center console/storage area is great.

Suggested Improvements

XM radio is horrible (why not Sirius?). The Pilot's stereo has limited channel selection/display capabilities. Need aux input plugs for iPods, etc., in front and back.
