Review: 2009 Honda Pilot




"While the name and a minute number of parts remain the same, the 2009 Honda Pilot is a new vehicle. Every piece of sheetmetal and glass, every mechanical component, and every feature has been gone through yielding a just slightly larger Pilot that put all the space to use inside. And unlike many similar designs it didn't gain too many pounds."

The 2009 looks like a more muscular than its predecessor with of course the enormous highlights. It's a little bit bigger too with the same over hangs, but the wheelbase has been stretched for almost 3 inches.

2009 Pilots use five speed automatic transmission attached to a 3.5 liter V-6 that can produce 250 hp. Really good.

"What Honda hasn't been able to cancel out, though, is torque steer - even on models equipped with optional four-wheel drive. That's surprising, because Honda boasts that its VTM-4 all-wheel-drive system sends power to the rear wheels under acceleration. It must not dispatch enough grunt rearward, though, because it's not difficult to squeal the front tires off the line or light up the inside front wheel when accelerating out of low-speed corners."

2009 Pilot is made by expensive material, upgraded and modified. It has cool features inside and out. Designed for convenience and efficiency. Driving this latest car is really an amazing experience. You can enjoy entertainment inside, bluetooth, and a rear DVD entertainment system. It is huge and lax enough for long distance trip.
