Thanks. My husband has a Commander (company car) and the navi on it is useless. It has the toggle too and it's only good for a map. It is a pain to look up addresses. I definitely want a navi - I was convincing my self that I would just be better off with a portable. I didn't really think about the i pod integration - which I would LOVE. Thanks.

As far as the Nav goes, first thing I would say is that I'll NEVER have a touch-screen Nav without a voice capability because the fingerprints would drive me NUTS. In this case, the voice capability works nicely AND you have the joystick to fall back on. Both are easy to use and the voice commands are fairly intuitive. My Touring is primarily my wife's car, yet I am able to program routes by voice having never read the manual.

2009 Honda Pilot EX 2WD by majortric

Just accepted delivery of our 2009 Pilot - wow - what a sharp vehicle. Price $27590 + TTL. We compared the GMC Arcadia, Toyota Highlander, Mazda CX9, Ford Explorer, and Chevy Tahoe - hands down the pilot came out on top based on $, interior space, reliability and standard features (not overloaded with "bells and whistles"). Don't beleive all you read about hideous looks - it looks much better in person.
Something to consider - not sure why anyone would buy 4WD unless you live in a climate where snow is on the ground/streets 8 months out of the year. We live in Buffalo, NY and for the 15 or so days out of 365 where the streets may be near impassable - it's not worth having 4WD and giving up the better gas mileage with the 2WD. Pilot has traction control to help with those challenging driving conditions.
Bottom line: do your comparison shopping and if what you're looking for in a vehicle is functionality vs looks - then the Pilot is worth strong consideration.

I disagree. I live in Chicago, and although we do not get as much total snow as Buffalo, we get a lot of Sleet, Freezing rain, and around 50" of snow. It also rains, a lot. I love knowing I have AWD for rain, snow, gravel, etc. To me, it is well worth the small extra cost. Even if it snowed one day out of the year, and my family was out in it, it would be worth it.
 
I just got a AWD 09 Touring in Billet Silver. Love it! Out the door for 33.5+TTY.

You may be right - I'll let you all know after next winter - I may be recommending the 4WD.
My reasoning was based on past Honda vehicles - Odyssey(s), Accord(s), etc... and rarely , if ever, did we have a close call re: winter driving.
I hope you're wrong - you did bring up some good points however (rain, "black ice", etc...).

What's Under the Front Seats? by daffsters
Mar 21, 2009 (8:26 am)

We just purchased the 2009 Honda Pilot EX and noticed that there is a plastic device with 3 holes/vents under both the driver and passenger seats. Any idea what these are and/or used for? Also, I will talk to the dealer about this, but the carpet under the driver seat has been cut in the shape of a large flap. I'm not sure what would have been installed under there, but I assume the dealer should have repaired the cut which is noticeable by anyone sitting the 2nd row behind the driver?

Master Key Battery by markbres

Just curious, but has anyone noticed that the life of the master key battery is short? We bought our pilot last summer, and the replacement battery I put in the key a few months ago already seems to be running down.

2009 Pilot Seat belt Chime by sonnyd

Hello everyone, I just purchased 2009 Pilot EX-L RES. A week old. I need to know how to turn off seat belt indicator. It chimes every 20 seconds when your seat belt isn't buckled. I know it's for a safety reason to remind you to buckle up. But still it's very annoying. Any suggestions!!!!!!

Suggestion would be to wear your seat belt!!!! As far as I know, this can't be turned off.
