I really wanted the 2012 Honda Pilot. Loved the older body style, the standard (and spacious) 3rd row seat, and 4WD. But have had a lot of issues with wheel bearings and suspension. Currently only has 110,000 miles with 4 new tires, new brakes, and 4 new wheel bearings but it still shimmy’s and shakes while breaking. Reading other reviews, looks like Honda has a lot of issues with suspension on this vehicle and is refusing to recall it. Disappointing that they are not going to stand by their work like they used too. My dads older Honda Odyssey with 80k miles has some engin issues Honda is also refusing to recall. Will not buy another Honda. Will pay more go back to the Toyota Highlander, 4Runner or Subaru.

The features are great, love the GPS. This is a great car for the money. We needed a 7 passenger SUV with lots of room and this is perfect.

The 2012 Honda is a great value. It had all the features that I was looking for. I shopped for comparable vehicles like Toyota Highlander and Hyundai Santa Fe. I feel this will be a car that will be a great value for our family for years to come.

The EX-L 4WD is very nice and quiet on the inside. And with the 3rd row seating folded down, it is quite spacious in the back for carrying large items. The electric hatch is a nice touch as well. Towing hitch and wiring are standard equipment and the 4wd drive version can tow up to 5000 lbs. It may not have all the features that other vehicles in this class include, but it has the ones I require and is a couple of steps up from the vehicle I came from. I hope this Pilot is as reliable as the Honda Element that I drove for 440K miles!

You really cant go wrong with a Honda pilot. No matter what year or model. Yes each one may have its pros and cons. But all in all...itll be an investment long term. Especially for families. One of The most reliable vehicles on the market. New or used. Bar None !
