Reviewed: 2008 Honda Pilot

4dr SUV 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD

Why the 2008 Honda Pilot?

Interior styling

Functional and attractive. The absence of a console-mounted shifter (kind of silly in an autobox anyway) gives my wife a place to dump her purse in a confined area between the seats.

Powertrain performance

Engine pulls strongly, but only at higher revs. Transmission very smooth, quick to downshift.

Safety & braking

Brakes seem very effective and predicatable.

Cargo capacity

Cargo area very useful. Third seat disappears into floor; second seat has 2/3 split and folds flat.

Why Not the 2008 Honda Pilot?

Powertrain performance

Engine lacks low-end torque, so it spins up quickly to develop power and makes its presence known sonically -- seems like its working hard.

Handling

Handling is safe and predictable enough, but lots of body lean
