Is a Pilot extended warranty worth it?
Probably not. The Honda Pilot's 13% major repair probability over 5 years is below the segment average — 87 out of 100 owners won't hit a repair that exceeds the warranty cost. The most reliable years to buy are the 2013, 2014, and 2015. The exception: if you're buying a 2010, 2011, and 2012, check the known issues before deciding.
Buy new or save on a used Pilot?
The Pilot holds 75% of its value after 3 years — in line with the three-row SUV average.
