Buying the 2011 Honda Pilot
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2011 Honda Pilot; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Thinking about the 2011 Honda Pilot? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
What to check on the Pilot
Owners filed 293 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, service brakes and steering; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the figures tell you
It uses the 3.5L 6-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Combined fuel use is 12.4 L/100 km: about 37 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $57.66 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
The Pilot in everyday use
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
When the Pilot makes sense
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Try before you buy
If the Pilot is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Pilot first, and buy only if it fits your life.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.22 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $192.20 at our price setting.
Narrowing it down
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Over to you
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2011 Honda Pilot from us first.
