Honda Pilot 2012 Test Drive & Car Review by RoadflyTV with Ross Rapoport

[@select20]

Don't worry about being short. I'm 5'7", I was an Infantry soldier in the Army for 11 years. (out due to injuries). One thing I learned is that smaller guys could get through smaller spaces in urban combat, and move through the woods easier, Generally have less overuse injuries too. All that made me proud a smaller guy.

[@GRIDSALEENS7]

I love driving the 12 Pilot. Very smooth drive in this vehicle and the steering is impeccable.

[@AlternativeUses]

the pilot is one of the better hondas on the market because it sticks to what honda does best: reliable, dependable, and practical

[@Fussinated]

There are so many Honda and Toyota haters around I really want to buy these cars.

[@geusebio15]

I love my 2011, but I only got a 2WD. Great fit and finish and i love Honda's attention to detail.

[@blacuraRL]

Keep it up Ross, best reviewer for Roadfly, hands down.

[@venom5809]

Happy Birthday Ross.

[@gene978]

Ross, you opened my eyes to this vehicle as well as yourself. It certain

[@tallen35875]

i can agree with you on the back row. i am also 5'7" and i was quite comfortable in the back.

[@prcytekuin5635]

Good car my mom bought this car a year around 6 years ago and she didn’t get any problems with it except the battery.

[@gilley27030]

Is it bad that I watch these videos just to see Ross??

[@UNMsmith]

Of course Ross would be testing the Honda!

[@bb996]

They should put a " Baby On Board" sign when Ross sits in the back seats.

[@thomaswilson3475]

I really want to know what it gets in km to a tank roughly like 700 or 850km from full to empty

[@dbradley3]

For a 2010 4wd Pilot with A/C running during the summer, we get 14/15 mpg around town (hilly local area). Great engineering; not so great gas mileage regretfully.

[@Barobran92]

@roadflytv I didn't realize that the 2013 Flex was out yet, but i can't wait the Flex is in my top 5!

[@TheTartesos]

it actually gives me 19.5 to 21 mpg avg depending on whether i get out of my house early or late :)

[@Armidillodude]

The new grill looks nice, family leased one and the car looks pretty sleek, idk why people think the older ones looked better, those ones were so generic and boring, this one stands out and i like that. Only problem is the trunk space

[@BCCHSMD]

@roadflytv great review. How do you guys think this stacks up to the CX-9?

[@arielanderic]

I honestly like the 1st generation Pilot more than the current generation Pilot. I hope the next generation will be better.

[@WSOJ3]

@nature10879 ur i4 is turbocharged, which feeds on premium fuel, this one is not charged and uses regular fuel

[@AdrianC12345]

One question: How's the road insulation on this thing? From my experience, Hondas tend to cheap out on the insulation (perhaps in sake of fuel economy?) but this is a big, heavy and expensive SUV. Is it quiet?

[@AKB_48]

I like the Pathfinder or Murano. Which of these would be in it's immediate segment ?

[@cheesepie1011]

Hey Ross, would you say the Pilot is a better buy than a Dodge Durango or a Ford Flex?

[@bottomlayer]

Wow those windows seem small and holy high cowl! Can you even see out of it?

[@MrFreeCookie]

Lets hope they get it together by then...

[@prodigy1210]

I'm only 5 inches on a best day.. damn ross you biggggg dawgg

[@SuperMattMuah]

Love the Pilot!!! But why is there sim's music? The Pilot is so sophisticated and elegant and awesome! I have one and its great! I get 22 MPG (2WD) and its awesome!!!!

[@garojanhotmail]

@roadflytv What do you mean by QUALITY?Material of interior or reliability?Tnx

[@roadfly]

@garojanhotmail Good question. I use the word quality as a synonym for reliability and dependability. -Charlie@RoadflyTV

[@Badfokai671]

now that's what you call a brother from another mother

[@ChummyChime]

Pilot fits 8 people and a lot of tech for its price. The MPG is better as well than and other SUV.

[@Autofanatic28]

I heard the wheelbase has been stretched like the new upcoming MDX.

[@NoloPasoro01]

he looks like a kid beside that huge suv

[@Nicool333]

Good job Ross

[@giecy1977]

I was very sceptic buying this car... maybe it doesn't look so great but this is a awesome car for big family. we have a 2 kids and 2 big dogs and we are able to fit our crew in this car with no problem. also it does't feel like you drive huge suv, it is pretty fast in corners. ohhh! gas milage is actually better then they say! 3rd row is full functional, not like toyota four runner (it was my 2nd choice).

[@ozepo]

Yeah, I remember this Civic Si review - time is passing by fast. All I can say - Ross - shave your head bold!!! :-)

[@raed67]

Very nice review

[@MrCami1234]

hey ross, is it fast or preppy?

[@somthingjonas]

that center stack is horrible? how many buttons can you get?

[@KhrissyDaDon]

@roadflytv The reason I compared the three is because Ross said the Pilot is a TWEENER.

[@abdulla6740]

I have honda pilot 2012 full option its really good and comfortable car ans low noise and strong and good for off road way

[@WesSeid]

Let's just say all cars look big next to Ross. Of course, all cars look big next to Tom Cruise, too. Ergo, Ross = Tom Cruise. Good job on the review, Maverick!

[@rickslick730]

I'm waiting on the 3rd gen!

[@roadfly]

@BCCHSMD I actually really like the CX-9 and it was the best choice when it first came out. It could use some updating. It's definitely the sportiest of the group. -Charlie@RoadflyTV

[@propanemower13]

Can you guys do a review and test drive of a 2009-2012 BMW X5 35d (diesel) that would be awesome.

[@aguayocarlos]

There's no way he's 5'7, he looks much shorter than that.

[@TheAlexv6]

Imo id Rather choose choose the Toyota highlander limited or wait for the new pathfinder and see what happens...

[@Baasicstuff]

yea on a bad day my average is 22.8 mpg best so far with my lead foot 24 mpg

[@oldschool1928]

It looks less like a fridge and more like a washing machine. :)

[@chigasaki06]

Please test drive the new porche boxter S, and the VW Passat.

[@Autofanatic28]

the people that live in the south don't need 4wd. that is why the new 3rd generation MDX will have a 2WD model option.

[@onomatopoeia162003]

i love Honda. i plan to own one!

[@Autofanatic28]

This is still a second generation. It was just a updated refresh. expect a 3rd generation by 2014

[@Little199]

I really hope with 40k Pilet Touring, it should equip with HID.

[@SuperMattMuah]

Actually the 2012 Pilot 4WD gets 17/24 instead of 16/22 like you said!

[@roadfly]

@chigasaki06 We have the Passat TDI on the schedule in about a month. No word on when the new Boxster is going to be in the press fleet. -Charlie@RoadflyTV

[@TheKidNamedRoland]

@nature10879 name me one unturbocharged i4 that gets 250hp? no car has that even when not turboed

[@xoquixxoqafxo]

The MPG estimates are 17/24, not 16/22 that was the old Pilot!

[@AnontheGOAT]

@kim8248 thats because Ross is small. The dude is like 5'6".

[@Supermikeymike100]

Love interior

[@transygiongthcstienthangly2827]

I like ,but I don't have enough money ! Yes Sir,Mr Honda.

[@roadfly]

@cheesepie1011 Better because of quality & dependability. In quality Honda only gets beat by Toyota. We do have the updated Flex on our schedule in a week or two. -Charlie@RoadflyTV

[@roadfly]

@khunt2011 The Tahoe has incredible engine options. It's definitely not sluggish. QX is down right fast! But neither are in the same segment as the Pilot. -Charlie@RoadflyTV

[@Snowhite808]

@select20 Yeah - smaller infantry is harder to shoot :)

[@dulceypeligroso]

@bb996: Be nice. The sign should read, "Hottie On Board".

[@UltimateCARNUT]

The pilot is just a lifted awd odyssey minivan

[@mbdint]

Awesome review Ross. Please lose the atrocious background music :)

[@orestes720]

No. He's pretty cool, in a geeky way.

[@ganthc]

Liked the review, but the music was really bad. I would prefer no music to having to listen to that.

[@Autofanatic28]

are you sure about that?

[@TheUser3105]

nice car.

[@jcru40]

Their mini vans are Hot also.

[@Brisk2124]

Short dude..lol Nice review

[@bb996]

Wheeee Man!!!

[@AnontheGOAT]

Man Honda got rid of the projector lights? Lame...

[@aconfusedazn]

what the hell kind of elevator music was that in the background? Charlie, that was terrible.

[@Supanikaa89]

First car 👀👀👀

[@WesSeid]

So is Ross' other job being a professional smuggler? He's always talking about places he can hide stuff.

[@nature10879]

Engine technology they are behind, Honda ignores it"s cars like Toyota, outdated old school engines while other car makers are getting efficient with more power. 3.5 L V6 with 250hp??? you gotta be kidding me.2.0l i4's get that amount of power, actually better power and torque as well.

[@jwatwater]

Jesus Ross, 5'7" 31inch inseem? same here. We might be twins. Except... you know, I'm black.

[@nature10879]

@TheKidNamedRoland Idiot I meant turbocharged inline 4 cars offer more power and are fuel efficient. The truth is, The pilot is a great car but still is behind engine wise. Hyundai and chevy/caddy even ford offer 4cy turbos that tops over 260hp.

[@jaydeniscool2]

ahh looks like a good car SMMMM

[@RK1FX]

Landcruiser, enough said.

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

Still don't like the styling. The first generation looks a lot better & is also faster & better finished inside.

[@whatever04811]

@select20 You are absolutely right! Smaller (or shorter would sound more tactful) men are more suitable for combat in moutains. Recent reports from Aghanistan (a failed, retarded country) suggests as well. It is also in Operetion Red Wing of Lone Survivor mentioned. So dont worry Ross.

[@theeartofseduction]

ONLY 16 mpg in city? that's a little dissapointing. Especially since the bigger minivan gets like 19 mpg/city, uuuugh!

[@utubeyaw]

@xoquixxoqafxo most of the 2011 n prior owners complain they dont get close to the epa estimate

[@ganthc]

So then we can't hear the reviewer talk? And I'm the idiot?

[@Partok81]

Looks like a capable 'Campground Cruiser". Kind of a sterile looking soul-less interior though for my money. And don't get me started on it's lack of styling. Functional, yes. But then so is a refrigerator, but you won't catch me driving one. ;-) Just my opinion, so nobody get their knickers in a knot over this ok? Peace.

[@liyuling1984]

I will watch anything that Ross reviews, even porn

[@itzmando]

Honda really needs to hurry and bring Direct injection engines, I think it will boost hp output and torque since their competitors are already doing the same already outclassing in driving dynamics and refinement from DI. Hopefully the next generation gets a new engine which will increase fuel economy too

[@NadrianATRS]

I don't care about Ross' height but he can't possibly be 5'7

[@Nineonesikhs]

Bro you hate it cuz you cant afford it.

[@HULK515]

Not enough Power For The Weight Ratio I Own one last week a BMW FLEW BY ME LIKE I WAS STANDING STILL GERMANS ARE THE BEST!

[@neilybless2399]

HULK515 lmfaoooooooo..... I know the feeling 😂😂😂🙈

[@obijuankenobi6565]

Its a family wagon........maybe you drive like a girl too

[@Nineonesikhs]

You just cant afford it

[@BigKiddStats]

Rather Get Tahoe

[@Acc0rd79]

Can honda get any uglier, so sad their great styles of the 90s etc have died:( The other companies updated and kept up with great looking cars but meh for honda.

[@AMERASAN]

car manufacterers stoped using HALLOGEN lights aggggeeeeessssss ago!!!!come on HONDA i know you can do better than that

[@shininglamb]

@select20 Yes like Messi:)...
