I have a 2023 Pilot Elite, so exactly the same as you drove in this video.
No issues at all as of yet.
Incredible amount of storage space and very comfortable.
I think it is fairly priced for what you get. Certainly competitive pricewise with Mazda and Toyota.

I just bought the exact pilot elite you are driving. I had a 2009 pilot touring car 233398 miles. So far I love this car.

I just bought (and have not picked up yet) a brand new (same color - black) Honda Pilot Ex-L and i'm going from a 2012 (which I absolutely loved) to this one the 2025 EX-L. So many new features to love. I'm not totally intimidated with all the new technology, but i'm trying to get out in front of that day (Monday 4/22) when I go to my local Everett MA dealer and get it. Needed a few things, like I added the body side molding which it used to come with and of course the Honda Mat package but, the amazing things that come standard are incredible.
Thanks for taking me on the test drive, still more to learn - basic stuff, but going from 2012 to 2025 is a huge jump in upgrades, but all is good .. thanks and nice job on this tour!

I bought a 2023 Honda Pilot Elite, as opposed to a GMC Denali and I am thrilled with the decision. Excellent car at 15 months old (and only 3500 miles). I have owned 5 previous Honda's starting with a 1987 Accord LX. I had a 2008 pilot I traded for a Cadillac SRX for the safety features it had. An I will day it is not near as hood as this Pilot. Honda did well. What does it still need - a MUTE button for the radio, a larger center screen, and a wider HUD. Also they need to figure out the issue with the HUD and sun glasses, especially polarized glasses. And I would like to be able to put more data on the "windshield". But other than that great car and the dog likes it too!

I like the car but I hate that obsession lately for replace the old school shifter for knobs or bottoms.

If one doesn't mind the placement of the third row vents, he/she won't go wrong buying this cuv, if they afford the priice. Thanks for a great review, as usual.

[hbpsalm]

Great review and info. Researching Honda Pilots now after owing a Honda Accord 2000 and it's still running but thought its time to upgrade. Kudos for playing some For King & Country one of my favs!

[kafka_enjoyer]

you are the first YouTuber to let us listen to the pilot exhaust sound like that! here a new subscriber.

[MichelleDiego-mloc]

Bought the 2019 Pilot and I ended up bringing it back to Honda after 2 years. On the first month I already encountered an issue. When it hits the 1st and 2nd year more issues arose. Though its still under warranty, I don't want to keep coming back for them to check it. They never solved my issues too. I don't know if I still want to consider buying Pilot.

[Theonestrongbusleader]

Nice video bro and I would consider buy this.

[MurderMostFowl]

why on earth would they fake the exhaust? That seems so silly. Either have them be rectangular pipes or just have a normal rear bumper. It is just another thing to get damaged if you bump into something.

[JaneDoe-obtq]

Ugh!! I really want to trade in my 2019 for a new one but i HATE the infotainment system sticking out of the dash and i don't like the storage hump between seats. I like the armrests and the flat storage top for my eggs, takeout, etc.. I'll probably keep mine.

[MrBeckman]

No mention of roof rack capability? Can a storage box be placed on the roof? If it has towing capability it should have storage capability on the roof.

[Lessontobe]

Great review but the price is outrageous. Once again you are the best!

[hassandawudi]

What were the big changes? Seems exactly the same

[JoseTorres-stic]

I have the 2024 pilot elite was hoping that you would go over changes.

[hamricksj]

25s only have 1 year oil/maintenance now, not 2. Basically you get 2 oil changes.

[TheAutomotiveReview]

These Honda’s like the Pilot and Passport do not need Paddle Shifters! Honda need restore the traditional shifter and incorporate a larger informatics screen. I think the Second Generation Honda Pilot was Honda’s Best SUV body style. I wish Honda would go retro and bring back the Second Generation Pilot. Functional exhaust pipes is a must.

[garyfp]

I wonder if the ride has improved any since 2016, I feel every crack in the road in my Pilot.

[Black_Cats_Of_War]

I like the passport better. The pilot is too long for me. Its harder to find a space to park it.

It will be interesting to see how they scale down the passport to look like a short back pilot.
