This is truly a wonderful vehicle that I have owned for 3 years . It has many added features including alarm system and a back-up camera. It looks great and the maintenance cost and fuel cost is low. The new owner would be very pleased!

After years of looking from afar, I recently purchased a 2007 Honda Pilot EX-L. A good friend and my sister each have one (a 2003 and 2006), so I knew the product was solid. I was not expecting to be so impressed with it that I would purchase one hours after my first test drive, but that's what happened. The exterior of the car is beautiful. It is a very large and wide automobile, yet somehow Honda has packaged the 2007 Pilot to look smaller and more nimble. It drives nimbly as well, giving the driver a commanding view of the road from up high. But I digress-back to the exterior. The Pilot I purchased has roof rails, a nice silver grille, and foglights. These blend in beautifully to the beige-colored exterior. The interior of the car is just wonderful. In 2001, I test-drove the Pilot's luxury cousin: the Acura MDX. I have kept up with those SUV's ever since, and could not detect a difference between the two, other than slightly softer leather on the steering wheel of the MDX. The EX-L comes standard with leather seats. I wasn't sure I would want leather seats, as I live in Florida and sweaty legs on leather are icky. However, the car cools itself down so quickly, you barely notice anything. The console is efficient and blends well. Two solid cup holders contain various size beverages. There are two power outlets in the console, in addition to a rear-facing one next to rear-facing climate controls for the back seat. The navigation system is a lot of fun. At $2000 extra, I wasn't sure this was something I needed, as I have enjoyed a portable Garmin C330. However, this navigation is voice-activated and also provides a camera for when the Pilot is put into reverse. The third row of seats is easy to install. While obviously not as comfortable as the bucket seats up front, the third row is passable for adults, and would definitely satisfy any children. It cuts out sharply from the available cargo room, but I don't plan to use it too often. I loved driving the Pilot. It accelerates very quickly and smoothly. In city driving, I was able to pass cars coming out of lights and going at a steady speed (much to the delight of the salesman in the backseat. =D) The navigation was easy to use, though I must admit I was disappointed when I said, "Find nearest restaurant: ice cream" and it popped up with Thai food instead. I'm guessing these are kinds that will be ironed out as I learn to better enunciate (and realize what options are available). Oooo! And the EX-L also has a system that shuts down three cylinders once a steady speed is attained. It shows a little "eco" light on the dash, encouraging the driver to keep that little light on and save some gasoline. As for the negatives, the biggest one for me is the width of the body. While it's great for comfort and stability, it makes it very difficult to back the car into a narrow garage (yes, I'm reaching for the negatives here). Even though I already knew the 2007 Honda Pilot EX-L would be a great product, it has surpassed my expectations. It has quality and luxury everywhere one looks, and excellent safety ratings to boot.

The style is attractive, it is roomy with 3 rows of seats, some 2007 Pilots have AWD or 4WD (great for mountain living), back up cameras, etc. I am looking for my 3rd Honda Pilot -great cars. My 2 big dogs ride comfortably in the second seat...great fun.

Decent look, good build quality, unibody design, low depreciation, comfortable front seats for long journey, 2nd and 3rd row seats for extended family with young kids and friends, easy upgrade for car electronics with after market options, tall view of roads

This car is a good value for the money. I like the interior and the handling. I will post a follow up to inform you of the performance long term. However from what I heard Honda cars tend to be good performers and very reliable.
