1,767-Mile Road Trip Recap - 2016 Honda Pilot Long-Term Road Test
My year-end holiday road trip is history, so I've formed a lot of impressions about our 2016 Honda Pilot, some good, some bad.

And you guys should have taken the car in for the steering wheel heater when it failed.
That 9-speed ZF transmission? The mfrs are obviously tone-deaf to the professional and consumer complaints about the thing. No way I'll ever buy one, especially out of warranty.
As "gslippy" mentioned, based on all I've heard on the 9-speed ZF automatic transmissions, owners of Touring & Elites have been complaining of finding gears when launching from a stop or having to constantly go down gears to find the "sweet spot" to launch.
Don't get me started on the lack of a volume knob for the radio, or the extremely tiny "SOURCE" button on the top left hand side. I miss a dedicated volume button, but use the steering wheel controls quite a bit.
