The 2018 Honda Pilot for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2018 Honda Pilot; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before buying the 2018 Honda Pilot, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 7 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Reading the spec sheet
Its 3.5L 6-cylinder drives through a 9-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
By the EPA's combined rating of 10.4 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 31 litres. Every 100 km costs about $16.12 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space, size and seats
As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.
Try before you buy
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week with the Pilot answers more than any brochure. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Ready to ask?
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
