Car financing: the 2016 Honda Pilot
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2016 Honda Pilot for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2016 Honda Pilot before buying one.
Before you sign for the Pilot
There are 8 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 1,716 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, electrical system and unknown or other; have those parts checked.
What the specs mean
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.
It is rated 10.4 L/100 km combined: about 31 litres every 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $16.12 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
When the Pilot makes sense
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.
Space, size and seats
As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Rent it for a week first
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A test week in the Pilot tells you more than any review. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Narrowing it down
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.12 in fuel.
