    Great review - so many reviews of the Pilot got enamored with the new look and forget things like seat comfort, seat height, long term liveability aspects and that's all I care about. Keep it up Sam.

    Great review, Sam! And thank you for taking it on the desert road! Hearing all of the interior rattles is making me think I need to remove this one from my list.

    I agree with your comments about the gear selection and volume knob. People have been complaining about these since the release too. I really hope Honda listens.

    I have a 2016 Honda Accord Touring... And I never touch the volume on the radio, I use the buttons on the steering wheel.. That's why they put it there for the driver so they don't have to touch over on the radio while they're driving.. I felt like this video was almost just all complaining about the pilot. I've driven the elite pilot and I for one love it. There's no "extra steps" it's just being lazy if anything. When you mentioned that your picky in the video is say so because of how much you complained. Maybe you just shouldn't drive newer vehicles? ✌🏼️

    The hook part of the front lights and the tail lights look very similar to the 2015/2016 Outback!

    I love my Honda pilot! traded in a 2015 Tahoe LT 4x4 for the pilot and I think it was a great choice. I love the no shifter feature on the elite

      I test drove one and loved the buttons too! It only took one time to know which button goes with what gear. Plus, they are different in shapes. I hope to get my Pilot Elite in a couple of months. Good luck to your knew car!

    Sam, love your reviews and typically agree with everything you say, especially here on the pilot. What do you think is the perfect comfort riding affordable suv? I am thinking Lexus GX460 but don’t see you have reviews one?

    Great review, Sam. The AWD system for the 2016 Pilot is new. Do you know the details?

  • @ronitsetia

    Well, with the pushbutton it is the same with the stick, after having the car for sometime, you learn how to use it without looking at it.

    Yikes, a lot of reviewers not liking the 9 speed tranny and lack of volume knob. It's too bad they don't offer the heated rear seats and heated steering wheel with the 6 speed trims, that's what I would have been interested in.

      Christopher Walken well then come to Canada and you'll get those on the EX-L.

    • @ThatWasherNerd
      @ThatWasherNerd 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Almost positive it's lunar silver

    In your opinion which is worse Sam, the push button shifter in the Honda Pilot, or the knob shifter in the Chrysler 300?

    • @TestDrivenTV
      @TestDrivenTV  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      They just went into production. We imagine it will be later this summer or fall before we see one in our press fleet.

    This guy was wrong 4 times in the video. One example the right lane camera is an available option. Just goes to show it’s better to do your own research.

    Why do you need a knob if you can use the steering wheel.....Hello.... WTF.....

    • @atl3630
      @atl3630 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      a well placed knob is much better

  • @eden20111

      30000

    • @723lion
      @723lion 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Elite is at least 48K not including tax and fees... 30K = no way.

    • @Kburd-wr6dq
      @Kburd-wr6dq 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      30k starting price for a pilot.

    Why are automotive journalists so worried about little picky things such as no volume knob...? Especially when that's something you learn to live with and is no big deal. same with the shifter. same thing you get use to! stick to actual things of concern. not little petty things.

    • @TestDrivenTV
      @TestDrivenTV  8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +Nick Larson For nearly $50,000 you feel "things you learn to live with" are acceptable? These two details are actually distractions from behind the wheel that in our opinion affect the safety and easy of use.

    • @nicklarson657
      @nicklarson657 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +TestDrivenTV yes! especially since it is not jeopardizing anything important like interior room or performance. plus... I like the high tech features. I guess we all have different opinions. I just don't see what complaining about little things that just need getting use to matter... journalists only have the vehicle for a few days and that's why they don't like some of those picky things. if someone buy a the vehicle they will be use to it in days of not weeks. plus there is a slider on the steering wheel. lol!

      @velboone6041 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I so agree. you aint told nothing but the truth... i was thinking the same thing...

    • @MRbasthor
      @MRbasthor 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +TestDrivenTV as a driver i never use the damn knob on the radio (steering wheel anyone?) but i don't like the change in the transmission (c'mon why should i use a button?) but you lost time looking at it when you have it already in front of you, honda cars always show you near the velocimeter in what shift you are.
