It's very roomy. Priced right. Quick acceleration. Drives nice.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Honda Pilot?
Better gas mileage. Light under hood. Auto headlights.A battery that would not die 7 times in 6 months!

2006 Honda Pilot Review:
This vehicle has a lot of safety features although it has let me down a few times in the snow. It totally lacks all "convenience features":what they call auto headlights are NOT, doesn't have a light under the hood, passenger window should have auto button, RV mirror should have auto for bright headlights, etc...the list goes on and on. Everything kills my battery. We've had to turn off all the int. lights but it still happens way too often.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Honda Pilot?
VSC is great with traction control has saved us couple of time due to weather and dodging other drivers. Very comfortable inside and easy to drive. Just like a car but more room. Heated out side mirrors.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Honda Pilot?
Lumbar seat heater for passenger and lights and radio to remain on for about 5min after removal of key before you open door. Telescoping steering wheel.

2006 Honda Pilot Review:
It took us a year and a half, and lots of test drives to decide on the pilot. we drove every size and style of suv\crossover. and the pilot won hands down. for the size and style and compfort we could not find anything to top it. And for our travels 28,000 miles in one year. even the dog like the remote windows.

2006 Honda Pilot Review:
Nice car, flexible seating/storage arrangements Stereo is real solid although can be a bit too bassy for those in the 3rd row (sub woofer location). Definitely a good car for the money.

Better Sound System, there is quite a bit of rattle at higher volumes. Needs to have more control of the stereo on the steering wheel. (Like the 06 Accord)

My wife has been a Honda fan for years. Well she finally convinced me to buy a Pilot and I must say it is very nice.

I would improve the dealer network, In the northeast they are terrible.

2006 Honda Pilot Review:
I've always believed in Honda as a quality automobile. I've owned a couple in the past and they have been great. With everything I've heard about the pilot I decided to purchase one, should have stuck with my first choice and gone with the Jeep. The dealer service in the NJ tri state area is terrible, and Honda won't help. So you buy a great car and like all mechanical things they do require service. That's the tricky part. When they do you'll be stuck, because the dealers do not hire competent technicians , and they will not properly repair your vehicle. I own a 2006 honda pilot and this will be my last honda.
