I've had my Pilot (EX-L) since late July. I waited till I got 800 miles on it before accelerating hard. When I did, I was quite satisfied. Haven't noticed any peculiarities with the braking. Haven't had to do an abrubt stop yet. All in all I am quite pleased with the car. Objections: It's hard to see the speedometer hash marks in bright sunlight. The radio etc functions are a bit complicated, though once learned the features are useful. The back-up camera image in the rear view mirror can't be seen in bright daylight.

In my test drive, I'll admit the Pilot didn't feel as peppy as my aunt's 2005 Odyssey or my 2006 2.4L Accord 5AT. Lacking in low-end power relative to what I expected. Not a hot-rod, but certainly adequate for a family vehicle, as long as your on-ramp is long enough. I'm not sure how this vehicle would be when loaded with 1,000 lbs of people, though.

Honda has them online from '09 back to 1990:
Honda and Acura Owner’s Manuals
Navigation manuals are there too.

Thanks all for the help! I now might am not the owner of a pilot, see prices paid & experiences post. I'm not giving up, will work with other dealers though.

I am trying to figure out my new pilot (touring if it matters). I used to keep my phone charging in my car at night, but it seems the power to the accessories is turned off when car is off. Is there a way to change that? I'm still reading through the volumes of instructions for the car. Or is there one outlet that keeps power all the time? Thanks! Scott
One more thing, my wife & I both have phones paired with the car. When both of us have our phones in the car, how does it know which phone to use to make a call? If I say "call" I would think it would ask from which phone. Thanks again! Scott

If past Hondas are a good guide, your power accessories WON'T charge, like you said, and I'm not sure that you can change it without rewiring something. I've seen drained batteries because of things left charging in the vehicle, so I'd imagine this is why.
On a side note, our cell-phone dealer warned us against using the car charger too often, or we'd soon be stuck with charging our phones every day because of reduced battery life.
Sorry I can't answer more for you!

You don't have to worry about using a car charger. The Pilot has a built-in USB port that charges the iPod directly while also allowing full control by the iPod from the nav screen or voice control... I suspect it doesn't work while the car is off because of battery concerns...

The phone that is listed first in the list will be the default phone when both phones are present.
