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.

Bought this Pilot on spur of the moment. Didnt have any get up and go. Lucky if I got 14 mpg. And only 21 gallon fuel tank. Navigation was simpler to get on my phone...wasnt overly excited....besides I was kinda looking for something that could tow a 6-7k lb trailer....?

i just got it so far so good. I will comment as time goes forward. I do really like the feel and look at this point. The ride is very nice. It seems to have good power. I do like all the options this model comes with. The seat settings is very nice for different individuals.

I would go for Acura over the touring model... fit and finish worth the extra couple grand. Honda reliability is great. road noise is greater than expected. Back seat ride is less comfortable than front. Purchase was new from Stokes in charleston SC.

We bought this car to replace our Toyota Sequoia -- we were looking for an SUV that was just a little smaller but still could seat 6 children in the back when needed, with a little room behind the third row. We've loved the Pilot so far -- comfortable seating, performance is fine. Navigation controls in the 2012 is not quite as intuitive as I'd like (dial to change destination) but it's fine.
