2010 Honda Pilot Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by chadferguson2009

Interior styling

No wasted space. Everything has a function. Vast storage & nice seats. There seemed to be two cup holders per occupant (seats 7) and plastic parts seemed seemed purposeful rather than bean-counter-ish.

Cargo capacity

Tons of space and 2nd/3rd row fold down flat. Feels bigger inside than it looks outside.

Powertrain performance

Enough power for a family hauler. Eco-drive "cylinder shut down" was a positive, even though the fuel savings seem to depend on driving style and conditions.

Handling

My one quibble with the Pilot was the steering, which was sloppy and numb on center. Worse than an 83 Cutlass I owned. Did not elicit confidence in maneuvering the vehicle.

Safety & braking

This is a big, heavy vehicle, so poor braking is expected. However, even with lowered expectations, the Pilot braked poorly.
