2019 Honda Pilot - Review & Road Test

[@Kaleo96819]

Micah, you are by far the best vehicle reviewer on KZbin. Very engaging, entertaining, and informative with humor and silliness sprinkled throughout the video. And great shooting and editing by your behind-the-camera team. In a world where most auto review videos look like something produced by the DMV, your videos stand out (in a good way). Fantastic job!

[@GreenMountian]

Micah is hands down the best KBB reviewer!

[@chadbaptiste4227]

Tripple Micah!! You lot are spicing up your effects!! I dig it!

[@sexysagi]

I want one! lol!

Micah's sense of humor is out of this world.

[@DraaelD]

Yeah he's a funny dude.

I second it!

[@ramfanbland]

Indeed

[@rxonmymind8362]

Just came back from the Sacramento auto show. I've never considered Honda as I've been a Toyota/Lexus driver. However, this SUV was the winner for the all around best SUV. Myself being 5'10" i could sit comfortably in the third row, ingress/egress was simple and for those who like camping in their SUV having the seats lay down FLAT was a nice bonus. Cargo room is also very nice. This might be my first move to Honda. Toyota had nothing close to this SUV.

[@joemama1226]

Did you do it!

[@dipeshvsharma]

By far the most entertaining car review I have ever seen. Micah... you are truly gifted. You guys are totally having fun and it comes through to the viewers. Please credit the technicians and engineers behind your videos.

[@criznitty]

The video editing is the best I’ve seen so far, accents the humor

[@krazybzs2022]

Micah ! mighty fun video brother , i enjoyed the crap out of it .

[@MicahMuzio]

krazy bzs We had fun making it. Cheers!

[@MicahMuzio]

​@Coleen West Given the 96% positive reaction to my video I'm not putting much stock in your assessment but I do have an honest question. Why would you leave a comment like that? What do you gain from attempting to denigrate my masculinity?

[@SleepyPanda-DougBurbidge]

I like the rapid-fire style of this review!

[@googleit1131]

[@rickyloganjr.2362]

Micah 😄. Your car review vid of the 2019 Honda Pilot is truly undoubtedly an epic demonstration of what a car review vid is suppose to be, and Micah you hit this one out of the park. Combined with your incredible personality, this review vid is everything.

[@bearbare2406]

Great job Micah!! Certainly an entertaining review focusing on the features that matter most!

[@josephreyes7610]

Micah! I hope your hand is ok! Looks like it got caught when you did the trunk scene at 1:08

You took this review to the next level my dude

[@The_Notorious_CRG]

Great job Micah!!

[@2008guelo]

Wonderful review KBB keep up the good work, I bought my 2019 Pilot Elite on August and I love it so much I already put 7,000 miles I would not trade it for anything else...

[@swanblake]

Yes, Micah, Tim, and Rob Thomas! Just the best

[@devonnewest7990]

KBB best, most fun reviews. Micah & Lyn = BEST reviewers!!

[@DiwaGalvez]

Thanks for recommending this over the Sorento and Durango in Twitter. :) best reviewer ever

[@TheBabaiful]

Micah, you got great sense of humor and your crew as well. I Enjoy your reviews and the grip you got with your viewers. Keep it up brother. Keep them coming. Love the editing and best part here is the all round camera scenes. 😊

[@bassandtrebleclef]

Micah and Cooley are the best at this.... give us the facts, make it fun, tell us what's good and what's not and don't regurgitate whatever marketing blather you're given from the manufacturers. Great job as always, Mr Muzio.

[@MicahMuzio]

Much appreciated!

[@toronado455]

Best part of this video is your shirt with the Trans Am.

[@CraigBHines]

Very enjoyable video. Very informative and hilarious. I have never laughed so hard and gained so much knowledge at the same in a review video. Great job!

[@pabloarvelo5969]

I like how KBB keeps their review videos short and sweet. Others take note!!!

[@PANOSDX1968]

As an owner of a 2008, 2012 and 2017 Pilots (the latter I sold within 7 months bc of driver's seat) these are my major complaints of the 2016-2019 iteration: 1) Removal of regular center armrest. A toothpick that comes down us NOT an armrest. ( I noticed 2019 has widened tip but still not an armrest). 2) Removal of volume control, remedied in 2019. 3) in 2019 removal of right mirror camera. To people like me with neck fusion it was a great convenience. I don't get its removal for a 3 light warning. 4) Main reason I sold my 2017 touring, which was a great vehicle overall very reliable except tire pressure sensors, the driver seat back is 6 inches too short (even comparing to 2012 model) and the headrest is fixed forth and aft and useless. Notice Micah's shoulder well above the driver's back seat higher horizontal end-line. With my fused neck and been 6.2 with no headrest support driving for more than 30 minutes was unbearable. My current 2018 Audi Q7 is perfect, high driver's seat back, very adjustable headrest. Even my much smaller '18 Q5 with warm weather package/sport seats has 6 inches higher driver's seat back and multi-adjustable headrest. Ergonomic perfection even for fused necks. Honda designers after 2015 lost their edge. Attention to detail and ergonomics (that made Honda popular in the '90's are gone. None existent. As if everyone has the perfect anatomy. Very dissapointed in u Honda and I wanted the new Passport but I noticed it has the same driver's seat as the Pilot.

[@leedaq7767]

[@darabu.julhaz6955]

[@isabella80808]

*Awesome features and mid-sized SUV for me, not too big nor too small. Great to haul in school stuff, projects and whatnot. Mom's Odyssey is also a great mini-van to have :- )*

[@omcvideophotography]

Lots of good features compare to the 2013 I own, they are really reliable vehicles, in 5+ years have not have any issues other than a tire pressure monitor valve. Great work on the energy and post production of the video.

[@Ryanbros]

Yeah, my mom's 2009 model was working just fine until some idiot didn't stop at a traffic stop and crashed into her vehicle

[@omcvideophotography]

[@SkiDaBird]

Their camera car is a 2nd gen Pilot. You'll see it hanging out in quite a few of their videos. Which honestly, tells you everything you need to know.

[@disneyfan9099]

MPrime Oh that Honda’s suck?

[@COTUchannel]

MPrime That second gen pilot went to Lapaz and back last year as a chase car for the Baja 1000, best camera car ever! ;)

[@andrewl3847]

Joshua Daniel yea

[@davidaltergottjr7855]

I really wish they would have kept the older boxy style in previous gen pilots. It was more unique and they drove great, this new design that I believe started in 2016 just made them look like every other suv in this class. It's not a bad look, just makes it less notable.

[@michaellovely6601]

I can understand why people would say this; but after a while the boxy exterior style can get rather boring, this exterior style of the Honda Pilot offers a fresh take on the exterior style of the vehicle.

[@Gdgtry]

Gotta say. This presenter is probably the best on KZbin right now. I've watched a ton of review videos for a recent purchase (ended up with an Odyssey) and his are the best. Whats the dudes name? No answer with a quick Google. Nothing on the KZbin videos or the KBB channels About page. Anyway. Great content. Keep it up. EDIT: Also wheres the long term 2018 Odyssey update? Been waiting for it.

[@Sc0rpy]

Micah you’re the man i enjoy watching your show mate huge amount of fun i’d say that honda pilot is the king of midsize suv very solid reliable car

[@MicahMuzio]

Thanks, Huss. Cheers!

[@bhavyang84]

Enjoyed watching this. Because i made purchase decision in 2016 from this review. you rocked same as last time. Enjoyed the video. i wish 2016 also had at least carplay and AA..

[@coffeekhan]

Just bought a 2018 EX-L, and I love it. Better than the Toyota Highlander we owned, and better than my wife’s Subaru Outback Touring. Though, I do like the Subaru quite a bit. There are just a few things that, for me, make the Pilot just a bit nicer. The seats are more comfortable in the Pilot, and I think the seat heaters work better.

[@mannyruiz9011]

I like this Honda SUV. I wonder if i can buy a used one with less than 60,000 miles for less than $20 grand?🤔 Maybe next year in February i get me a 2019 Pilot.

[@stevewise1656]

Honda still needs the 360 camera and better sound system at higher Touring and above models

[@SquidCena]

Honda pilot and honda CR-V All year models are amazing...

[@TheFixitGuy65]

To each his/her own. I have a 2018 Ridgeline with the infotainment system without the knob. Everyone complains about this for some reason. I just use the controls on the steering column 100% of the time while driving to change the station and sound as well as cycle through the display. This was a waste of time for Honda to address such a trivial complaint. Now the head unit looks jacked with this 1 protruding button sticking out.

[@randomrazr]

car is nice. just hate the facct it looks so much like a VAN

[@ALMX5DP]

randomrazr I like it and don’t mind in the least that it looks like it’s sibling the Odyssey. If you’re getting something in this class, ones concern with how you look out on the road falls down on the priority list I suspect.

[@apt62]

You want something this spacious with a "cool" factor....GLS would be your only option but the question is, do u have 100k?

[@b.f.378]

0:10 best looking Pilot (the one behind the new one)... I prefer the boxy styling of the previous gen over this generation & this 2019 update didn't make the pilot look any better IMO

[@TheVtecdelsol]

I’m super happy with my 2017 exl and this one has too much feature for me plus don’t like the front end as much and wow price gone up a lot as well, overall I love my pilot second best vehicle I ever own

[@afeeqhasan6621]

Isn't this the same place where Micah reviews the 2016 Pilot? Anyways, my mum has the 2016 version and I think it's nicer than this one in terms of design. Also, she has the white version. However, I think this car looks gorgeous in a darker colour like black/blue/green.

[@eltorito1011]

The only complaint my teen kids had of this vehicle was the wheel well obstructing their foot placement in the 3rd row seat. However, no mention was made of it in this video. We have yet to make a decision between the Pilot or the Ascent. Has anyone else run in to this issue? Or is this a non-issue with the Pilot and shouldn't be considered in the decision process?

[@rookietoprobuildz]

Would love to be cruising around in the new Pilot.

[@allenschneider1847]

So in terms of driving and handling which do you like better, the pilot or the ascent?

[@allenschneider1847]

Is the one touch sliding 2nd row seat available on the Ex? I thought you had to go to the EXL to get this feature?

[@ryanlittleton5615]

The only thing Honda should've done to perfect (relatively) the Pilot is ditch the ZF 9-Speed and give it their new 10-Speed Auto. Better styling would be great IMO but looks are subjective.

[@rebturtle]

We have a 2016 Touring with the 9-speed, and I can't see how one extra gear would change anything. You can hardly feel the shifts and it's always driving right in the power band. Attempting to use the paddle shifters is more frustrating than it is satisfying because you have to go through 3 or 4 gears before you change anything significantly.

[@ryanlittleton5615]

@@rebturtle Its not a matter of having one extra gear. The ZF 9-Speed has been know to feel weird and have (rather public) reliability issues. But if your transmission doesn't have any of those problems that's great.

[@reyperez3424]

@@ryanlittleton5615 I'm happy with my 2014 3.5 6spd Accord, I know the 2018 9spd was improved but I would go for the 6spd. The next generation of the pilot will get the 2.0T 10spd.

[@ryanlittleton5615]

@@reyperez3424 I would go for the 6-speed as well. I know the 2.0T Accord is pretty awesome, but I'm not too sure about these companies putting Turbo 4's in 3-row crossovers. IDK maybe it's something we'll have to wait and see.
