2012 Honda Pilot EX-L Startup, Tour & Test Drive

Is the 2012 Honda Pilot a formidable contender in the family SUV market? Let's take a look and find out.

We used this video as a reference when we were deciding whether to purchase our 2012 Honda Pilot two years ago. We wound up with a silver Pilot EX-L and are still in love with it. Thanks for the video.

[@ReidG_RN]

That's awesome! Thanks for letting me know. Positive feedback is always appreciated!

[@jmartin67]

Sorry I meant 2012, accidentally typed 2014. Edited haha. We recently purchased a 2014 Pathfinder so I had 2014 on my mind. =)

Joe Martin how the mpg on this suv

[@rahulrane1658]

A positive review. Most others are just bashing it based on looks. I own this vehicle and it is very comfortable and reliable

I have spent alot of time with both generations of pilot, and one of the BIGGEST things for me with the whole car is that they never cheaped out. its an expensive suspension setup design, rear springs on the rear end to limit squat, some really hefty rims and a power train like a rock. i personally prefer this gen because really once you clock a deer going 80 in a car and its COMPLETELY fine afterwards it wins your heart over. that, and i do appreciate the refinement thats not on gen 1.

at 17:20. I feel you. I used to hate the pilot and pretty much Honda overall, but lately I decided to give the pilot a second chance and I'm gonna admit it, it's a good comfortable, reliable suv that you can pick up used for not that much.

[@ReidG_RN]

Yep! They're just a good car.

[@ReidG_RN]

That is true. It's a very solid and substantial feeling SUV, and I have to give it props for that.

[@ReidG_RN]

I agree! Proof that an interior with hard plastics can be nice! If the plastics are rigid and solid.

Just got a 2010 ex and love very roomy but not huge suv…ride is a little but room for 8 and Honda reliability we love it and looks great in silver

You know, I was never one for the weird looks of the current-gen Pilot but I have to say it is a well put together vehicle!

[@ReidG_RN]

They're 2 totally different cars, but it's up to her! Whatever she likes.

[@derekgil8894]

I'm really thinking on buying this pilot

[@ReidG_RN]

I hear that from a lot of people... I like the exterior of this one, but the interior of the old one.

[@ReidG_RN]

Indeed you do!

[@ReidG_RN]

I do agree... They could use one for sure.

[@user-ft2vf9lk7v]

Getting me one soon.

[@keithparker117]

[@coolstang609]

[@KhrissyDaDon]

[@ReidG_RN]

[@australiatennis]

Hello- It seemed when you were driving it was very loud. Is this true ? I am looking to buy a Pilot next week.

[@DavidsCarReviews361]

My aunt wanted to get a chevy tahoe but wait till i tell her about the honda pilot i think she will i like the honda pilot over the tahoe plus the pilot doesnt poor gas mileage as the tahoe does

[@clock959]

I personally like the first generation pilot more

[@masoodjamily]

Hi and thank you for this video. I love that 202 pilot. I need to buy s pilot similar, how can i deal with you guys and where are you located

[@Johnny-km3jl]

Also does it automatically come with eco because I don’t see the eco-button on the 2014

[@ryanpham3308]

Nope. The 2016 MY has it, far as I know.

[@landonlefevre5167]
