2009 Honda Pilot Interview With Marc Ernst

[9goats8]

Mr. Ernst if you are reading feedback I vote for 2nd row bucket seats such as the Honda Odyssey. Also I replaced the Goodyear Integrity OEM tires with Michelin Cross Terrain and had HUGE improvement.

Ford Edge is much better than the Pilot. I've tested both cars and I really liked the Edge. Powerfull, fast, spacious, smooth and very eazy to drive.

my mom bought this car for me and it's really cool i like it....

[Rav747]

I wont comment on the look of the pilot because personally i don't like it either, but to compare it to the Volvo is quite stupid. The volvo 2wd starts at 36k while you can get Pilot for 31k with 4wd. If you buy the volvo i hope its for the V8 sport model. Otherwise i would go for the pilot hands down. Best bang for the buck!

C'mon people! it's HONDA we're talking here.

Known for superb reliability. Buyers going to love this vehicle, you'll see!!

[raptor92]

i agree that is to boxy and that grill killied it!!!

[smitty195]

I have a 2006 Pilot EX-L and I love it! With this new 2009 Pilot, can someone please answer these two questions: 1) Is the 2009 model available with both rear DVD Player and a Navigations system? On previous models, you could only get one or the other, but not both. And 2) Was the issue of "road noise" addressed in the 2009 model? Consumer Reports listed as the only major complaint of previous vehicles, and I have to agree. My Pilot is very noisy on the highway. Thank you for any answers!

[darkheartofthewoods]

Yes, you can get both RES and Navi. Road noise has always been an issue with Honda, but as far as I know, it was addressed in the 2009 model because it is very quiet even when going 80 mph. It also handles the turns very nicely, it sticks to the ground better than my 2002 Accord V6, but it could also be that the Pilot's brand new.

[meanubeanu]

Hyundai Veracruz please

[efthimios]

Very nice SUV, argueable the best you can get for the money.. Better than the 1st gen.

[Sealy1986]

Hello Marc Ernst, I hope you did not prefer the exterior design of this car because if this was your idea, GET THE FUDGE OUT OF HONDA!

[eddie9876543210]

Everything about the new Pilot is great, except for the Exterior Styling. It's just way too boxy for my taste, and that front grille is really the downfall of the whole vehicle. I wish they would have went for a more rounded design, like the CR-V. I would go out and buy a Saturn Outlook, or the Mazda CX-9 anyday of the new Pilot.

[eddie9876543210]

I've now been to the dealership, and i must say that it is nicer in person. The side profile is very nice. I guess you can't judge a car through a video.

[darkheartofthewoods]

From what I've heard, they made it boxier and more muscular to attract the male spectrum. You can upgrade to a chrome grill which makes it a little nicer.

[jebelzile]

It's better than the current model, but the nicest one was the 2003 model <3 the one I have !

[qwertyuiopPokemon]

It's cool but I wish it was less boxy

[saenzlopez]

i like it, all the new hondas have that transformers grill

[kjoey76]

This thing looks hideous!!!

[darkheartofthewoods]

Looks a lot better in person. Pics or vids don't do it justice.

[CharlietoKind]

i know, its awesome in person, every body says it looks ugly in the front and okay in the back, damn, in real life, this thing is a beast , the sexy curves of the back and the shiny huge boxy manly front.
