Honda put most of the pieces in the right places and provided multiple cubby holes for stowing things - just right for a family and road trip car. Plus the fold down third row provides exactly the right passenger flexibility without getting in the way.
The engine and transmission work flawlessly together - with lots of power for a family car this size.
Driving position is upright and all the windows make it easy to see what is around you.
The engine is not intrusive and there is minimal wind noise for an SUV. Better tires would make it even better - Goodyear Intergrity is not a quality OEM tire.
The Pilot has had few problems after the first model year. Interestingly, ours has not held up as well as I would have expected.
