Reviews:
- "The 2009 Honda Pilot looks tougher than its predecessor and offers more room for third-row passengers, but the stereo and climate controls are less than intuitive, and some interior plastics feel cheap."—EdmundsEdmunds: 2009 Honda Pilot Review
- "The 2009 Honda Pilot is an evolution of the first generation. Much like Honda's Odyssey minivan it offers plenty of cargo and people versatility in an efficient package, without the negatives many apply to minivans, and with the additional confidence of all-wheel drive and better towing performance."—JB car pagesJB car pages: 2009 Honda Pilot Review
- "Behind the wheel the new car is better in just about every way.
