Before you sign for the Pilot

NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 935 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, electrical system and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

What the figures tell you

The 3.5L 6-cylinder, paired with a 9-speed automatic, drives it. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Who the Pilot suits

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Rent it for a week first

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If the Pilot is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A week with the Pilot answers more than any brochure.

The cost of driving it

The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.12 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Which one to look for

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
