2011 Honda Pilot

At a Glance, 2011 Honda Pilot seems to do a good job as a transporter family. There is plenty of space for children and goods, provides excellent results of the crash, and with Honda's sterling reputation for reliability. But there are three main areas that remind driver package: its slow acceleration, braking performance and poor fuel consumption average. Any excuse to be alone, but together combine to set this driver drifting in the ocean of very worthy competitors.

On the positive side, Honda has made a point to give the pilot of the third row homes large enough to accommodate real adults back there, if you are looking for an alternative mini-van, it could very well . Driver has a typical well-cushioned ride, smooth powertrain and optional unit on all four wheels are present and accounted for. This year, only a couple of minor changes in the availability function - navigation is now an option on EX-L and a rear DVD entertainment system is now included in the top of the line Touring.

Overall, we believe that the 2011 Honda Pilot is an appropriate choice for a crossover mid-sized or large SUV. But consumers increasingly aware that the competition test is likely that the pilot comes a bit short - reputable or not. Ford Flex is an all around good candidate in this area, offering a more comfortable interior, more features and better performance. Chevrolet Traverse (and its Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia twins), Hyundai Veracruz, Mazda CX-9 and Toyota Highlander are also chooses strong. It may seem unusual, to say it but this Honda is just not a very competitive pickup in its class.

- Minus :
Poor braking performance, sluggish acceleration, unremarkable fuel economy, button-heavy center stack.
