Not the quality of the 2003 Pilot.

I drove a 2003 Pilot for 11 years and sold it at 220k miles while everything was still in working order. Wish I’d kept it. Honda made more changes to the 2006 model that I previously thought and I can’t help but wonder in how many ways they may have cut corners. The quality of the headliner is just one example. Both the oil filler opening and dipstick were relocated, making them less accessible. I also question the point of complicating a great VTEC engine by adding variable cylinder management. The 2006 climate system controls are also more complicated than the 2003 model. Would like to know what Honda engineers were thinking(or weren’t) when they redesigned the 2006 model.

Best car I have ever had.

It never quits on you. You will never find yourself sitting in middle of nowhere broken down. Even when my timing belt needed to be replaced, this car took me to the mechanic. If you take care of it right, be prepared to have it forever.

2006 Honda Pilot

I love how smooth it rides. Feels like a luxury SUV. My favorite things are; the sunroof, electric seats & Windows. Heated seats and rear vent heating. Plenty of trunk space or fold up extra seating to ride 8 people.

I'm glad I got it.

I've had it for 10+ years now, the first 6 in Alaska, the last 4 in Arizona. It's handling on ice 6 months a year in Alaska was astonishingly good--I never used snow tires or studs on it (and never smacked into anything). It's very comfortable to drive--suitable for a large person--and feels sure-footed on the road. It was the right car for the 4000-mile trip from AK to AZ hauling moderate amount of baggage with room to spare. Unexpected service events include the emissions system (covered by warranty), two factory recalls for airbags, and a front-right axle (a $300 job). Overall a reliable car operating in two harsh environments. City gas mpg is about 18. Acceleration is not bad.

Not ready to part with my Honda

Yes it’s an old vehicle but with a little TLC this car is worth it’s weight in gold. Take care of your car and it will take care of you. I would buy this car again in a newer year model. Hondas have always been good for me.

Reliable car if taken care of.

I bought this car about four years ago as a reliable and safe vehicle for my newly-licensed son. I bought it from a private-seller for about $2K under market value as the vehicle clearly had some issues related to neglect. After fixing some of these issues (replaced radiator, new brakes, new alternator, new battery) the vehicle has been very reliable and more importantly, safe. The all-wheel drive comes in handy during slippery conditions. The only complaint I have is that there is a relatively common issue with this model where the subframe rusts and separates from the vehicle body on the rear drivers side. Research showed that this is a far too common issue and a NHTSB bulletin acknowledges the issue but no safety recall was done as it was deemed to not affect the vehicle's safety. I believe Honda has come up with a patch for the subframe if desired; but for a vehicle which is used in winter conditions, this should never have been an issue. Otherwise the vehicle has been very good and runs and drives extremely well.

A good model

2006 Pilot. Typical Honda noise, but we have enjoyed this SUV for over 200 thousand miles. No unusual trouble or problems. 2nd only to my lovable 2002 Odyessy.

It's a great car to travel in.

It is a terrific car. Very comfortable to drive long distances in. Has a lot of power as well. Would definitely buy another one. Like everything about it except the gas mileage but it is an SUV.

The best vehicle I have ever owned.

Will be buying another Pilot in the next year a used one because they made the 2016 look awful it looks like the CRV they have no longer looks rugged,why they changed the look is beyond me.

2006 Honda Pilot Review

This is my first Honda, very high mileage purchase. Awesome vehicle, drove it across the United States and then some in 6 months, no problems. And if there is a problem, the car let's me know. Intend to drive it till it stops!

I bought my Pilot used from Hendricks and Son's so I knew it was a good car. They won't sell you anything but the best. The Pilot has never let me down. Fun to drive and very stylish. Very reliable SUV

A good SUV

Good size, a little smaller than the Odyssey. Good ride. 224,000 miles with no major trouble. Wish I had gone for electric drivers' seat. Needs a little more leg room for the driver. A little noisey.

2006 Honda Pilot EX-L with RES

Great unique body style on a 2006 Acura MDX chasis. Maintain the required preventative maintenance schedule and this SUV will last a long time. I have 200,237 miles and it is going stong. Interior is great, Plenty if room. Third row lacks room for teenagers or adults.
