Pros: What do you like about 2009 Honda Pilot?
Comfortable.
Functional.
Spacious.
Cons: How would you improve 2009 Honda Pilot?
Excessive oil consumption. 1 quart in 4000 miles! (I think all Pilots may do this but owners don't check between changes and mechanics don't check before draining.)
Wore out 2 front tires in 13,000 miles.
Front Headrests intrusive.
Outside thermometer not very responsive.
2009 Honda Pilot Review:
My Pilot has 16,000 miles on it and the oil consumption problem has not improved. It is a lease and I feel that I shouldn't buy it at the end of the lease because of this.

Pros: What do you like about 2009 Honda Pilot?
Overall, the Honda is a great car.
Cons: How would you improve 2009 Honda Pilot?
With only 20,000 miles, the oil consumption is 1 quart per 1,000 miles with the possibility of getting worse with age. I am told this is "normal" oil consumption. THIS IS UN-ACCEPTABLE.

Pros: What do you like about 2009 Honda Pilot?
I just bought a 09 silver Pilot. I'm impressed with it so far. It's roomy, great for a family. Great gas mileage. It's a comfortabe seating vehicle and has plenty of power for going up mountain passes. I love it. It has a unique sleek look. It looks great. Don't get a CRV - no room and not enough power. I got a 09 exl for 31500 with only 8 miles. And they threw in the rubber mats and a full tank of gas too. Jim V. MAPLE VALLEY WA

Pros: What do you like about 2009 Honda Pilot?
Gone from a Tahoe to Pilot Touring.
Pilot is more lively than Tahoe and mileage is better, but not a lot.
The sound system and Navigation system are very good.
Love the Blue Tooth feature.
The voice recognition system works better than Tahoe's.
I like the fold down third row seats, have comparable cargo space to Tahoe with option of extra seating.
Impressed with Honda dealership so far.
Cons: How would you improve 2009 Honda Pilot?
Interior styling; it looks and feels cheap. My dash popped out first month and had to be replaced under warranty.
The transmission is jumpy and not smooth at low speeds but does fine on highway.
2009 Honda Pilot Review:
Overall, a good value for a loaded SUV and safety ratings are impressive though I hope I don't need them. Need to upgrade the interior, too much plastic and I'm not confident its going to wear well.
