Autopilot

In the description of the Japanese Honda Pilot does not skimp on adjectives, leaning on the fact that in the construction of the SUV they were guided by the principles applied in the manufacture of aircraft, which made the car not only easy but also secure. However, it is unlikely the Russian clients are interested in such trivia. When purchasing these machines, we are still looking for power, volume, and, of course, on the exterior. No doubt this SUV respectable enough to take its rightful place among his own kind. Say more, the Honda, perhaps, is not only a poprivlekatelnee main rival - Dodge Nitro, but even relatively fresh Land Cruiser 200. Although, in my opinion, this more "guilty" is not Japanese, and their rivals. Hand on heart, we should admit that the original exterior Pilot does not shine. In the form of a "steroid" grille, brutal Chuck (reminiscent of pickup Ridgeline), and nostalgic for the old CR-V profile to jump for joy now able to except that some patriotic cowboy from the Midwest. For the same Old World, as, indeed, for us, the style in the spirit of 9 / 11 - waste material, to take at least the first generation Nissan X-Trail. Today, in a fashion more "peaceful" and the futuristic machines. In general, the only thing that can fix the situation here - originally designed optics. She performed in the same vein, but the current picture with noticeable osvezhaet.Chto characteristic to the interior of such claims is not present. Everything is much nicer.

XXL or 14 for two

Honda Pilot and Hyundai ix55 - both seven-seater, and only two for the road, though, and look different. We understand their similar characteristics and different characters. Full-size seven-seat crossover, for you do not want to pay, as a full-size SUV - it's a good opportunity to rise to the "second floor" road of life without excessive spending when there is a conscious desire to give up too much in strength and permeability. What to choose: Honda Pilot or Hyundai ix55? Honda motorcycles were PilotSnachala, then racing, then "Formula 1": among other things, already in the sixties, "Formula 1"! Then, in the eighties, VTEC for motorcycles, and in the early 90s - and for cars, and Clarity hydrogen car today ... It is always an engineering elegance, wit and technological. In all things, whatsoever and wherever you touch the look: at least for highly reliable machines for the British grannies, even for ultra-fast NSX for cool kids, at least for a Type R for all sorts of kids easier, at least for a lawn mower for gardeners. This is a Honda. The company, a leading engineering ideology where the line is close to the principles of Porsche, joined with incomprehensible to Europeans the Japanese. A Pilot - a very different Honda.Eta "Honda" of America and to America. And there is very little in common with every other "Honda", except for efficiency. Again - in America. There are seven seats, and all of them well-suited not only to count them, but to use them.

Honda Pilot will be held almost anywhere

Off-eight-test crossover Honda Pilot. Recommendations The Gypsy Baron. I have two questions. First: Do a lot of families in Russia, many more than five people, not counting the Roma? Second, what are all these people will do on the roads? 9.9 SECONDS - NOT ENOUGH? First test drive Honda Pilot, published in the August issue, was actually a presentation, during which we rolled into a monotonous mode, without abrupt maneuvers and off-road. Many of the characteristic aspects of the car remained unexplored. Meanwhile, readers have asked probing questions - in particular, are interested in the bottom layout, geometry, suspension arms. But first, a little road nablyudeniy.Konstruktory Honda Pilot, adapting it to our market, clearly sought feedback in steering. In turn the wheel into a resilient rubber expander, eager to return to the zero zone. At the first presentation in Karelia it was not so much: the road conditions are not pozvolyali.Pomnyu as I cursed the crossover for the slow acceleration, but then the organizers put into each car by four men (and many journalists can not cope with overeating). Now when I go one view of the dynamics are not as severe. Before hundreds of 09.09 seconds - not so malo.Itak, a dynamic and well-controlled crossover with a clear and virtually unnoticeable wheel rolls in the corners. Its only drawback - a terrible vertical buildup on asphalt humps and klevki during heavy braking and acceleration. Apparently, to fully adapt the American car, assembled in Alabama, to the European reality is impossible.
