I been waiting for y'all to review. Y'all take your time but the info is priceless.
Cannot believe that Jack and Mark were able to keep up a conversation during the drive over the constant screaming coming from the Honda Sensing Driver Attention Monitor ®
I wish Honda would do a better bumper to bumper warranty.
I admire Honda's basic commitment to value for money, utility and longevity, and this looks like a great vehicle. I wonder how this will, or will this, translate to a new Ridgeline.
I don’t need the 3rd row so, I’m hoping Honda updates the Passport to this new platform/design. Then it will be the new Passport or the new Mazda CX-7!
I have a 2016 and I test drive this and it doesn’t feel as quick as my 2016 but does anyone else have experience with both?
Honda Durango
Really impressive review. I was ready to turn my nose up at this video and write it off because it's a Honda car I myself would never consider purchasing, but the attention to detail on what's really changed from one generation to the next and what sets it apart in its segment, that's the special sauce that you get with these guys. Probably have about 3 comments in my history on YouTube but had to throw some props your way fellas, dump 4 kids into my life and you best believe I'm test driving this ahead of all the competition.
Glad it retains all the physical buttons but why doesn’t it have the new Accord touch screen?
An incredible looking vehicle insight and out. Even if I was being extremely nitpicky, it's hard to find anything about this vehicle I don't like. However, this vehicle/trim is $60,000 here in Canada. That is absolute insanity. Prop that up with the additional cost due to rising % rates and you'll have a staggering payment. Average families typically purchased CRV's, and upper average families purchased Pilots. No you basically have to be quite wealthy to even afford the pilot, and the regular CRV is basically out the reach for an average family, from a financial perspective. The rising costs, with no leveling of wage increases, will only result in crushing lack of sales for Honda on many of their platforms over the next 2-5 years if they keep strong with their trend. Honda might produce nice vehicles, but their business model is going to sink them in North America.
This is SAVAGEGESSE
4:01 is it me or that rear quarter body panel is so color mismatched from the rest of the car?
Nice, lengthy review over 20 minutes. Love it.
Great review… love to see Honda dipping their toes into the off road world. Hopefully success in sales $$$ will help them to make a full on 4Runner / Grand Cherokee competitor. I owned a Palisades. It was terrible. I don’t understand the heaps of praise garnered on that vehicle from auto journalists. Traded it for a mdx type s. If this Pilot would have been available at the time of trade i would have saved some $$ on my wife’s car and gone with this.
this or Lexus GX blackline..??
Every time you guys say the term cam-phasers every ford mechanic suffers PTSD!
Honda making some big improvements on Pilot! #Respect
If they wanted to make it feel smaller they would have brought back their 4 wheel steering from the 80's prelude…?
I like the hdr on my phone. Idk if it’s placebo
Absolutely engaging review with a nice balance of the technical and driver experience aspects. It's really helpful, too, to hear how this year's model compares to the previous model as well as its competitors.
It sounds like an engine swap. Sounds like this engine can be modified to make way way more power
The CX-90 next please 🙂 It so far wins in my book over this truckie but good to see Honda keeping it real. I miss my Clarity PHV~
Would you pick Pilot over a Pathfinder?
The fail I see is the exhaust setup. Otherwise I would own one already
The second row middle seat option is something they have all been missing. So frustrating that they are all captain seats on high trim levels.
Just waiting for little bastards to destroy your new ride
Honda needs to fix the EX-L wheels. Why does Honda always throw the ugliest wheels on their EX-L trims. The EX-L has all the items I want out of the car and nothing more, but the wheels are just keeping me from buying the car. I will see how the new EX-L Grand Highlander price comes out and choose between both.
