Does it feel too big?
The 2010 Honda Pilot is a pleasant rig to administer. It does however feel fairly bulky, and surprisingly large. Its seating position is high, and its hood is long and broad, the combination of which may contribute to the sense of size and substance.
But don’t let visions of grandeur discourage. I felt very safe and well protected in the Pilot. I also found it easy to manoeuvrer; certainly much easier than some similarly sized SUVs that don’t provide the same clean sight lines.
My tester was the Touring edition of the Pilot, meaning it carried a full load of equipment that included a rear back-up camera. This feature was of great assistance when reversing into a tight parking spot.
Ride and comfort
The Pilot is a stable road performer that treats its occupants to a comfortable ride in a sufficiently quiet cabin. It’s not as luxurious as the Buick Enclave but won’t disappoint even the fussiest of folk. It brings forth many strengths, including size, practicality, value and efficiency.
