The Honda Pilot is a roomy and versatile mid-size SUV that offers seating for up to eight in three rows of seating. A smooth 3.5-liter V6 with cylinder deactivation mated to a 5-speed automatic provides good fuel economy and adequate power. Overall, the Pilot is focused on comfort and safety rather than outright handling, featuring a comfortable and composed ride, but also noticable body-roll and vague steering feel. Thanks to optional all-wheel-drive, the Pilot remains sure-footed, however, and excels with good safety equipment and crash test ratings.
