I scrolled through nairaland looking for a toks Honda pilot. 2009 or 010. Most of the vehicles I saw are Nigeria used waiting to be sold off. Is there anything prevalently wrong with that pilot model? Car gurus kindly enlighten me abeg |

BuyAndSellStuff: Kokomo:So the vehicle is not advisable to buy. I noticed it's relatively cheap and offered more value for money when compared to highlander and other vehicles in same class. Seems I was wrong then 1 Like |

SMGGroup: VCM can be disabled but I believe the touring edition should be the one with VCM engine. My boss uses it and the only reason he wants to buy another CUV is because of fuel consumption. Says the car dey consume I believe it's because he has check engine light issues ![]() 1 Like |

SMGGroup: From my research, the 2017 upwards was the pilot year with VCM issues that I know. It is reliable as long as you can fuel it |

Am using 2008 pilot.....best car have used. Have tried RAV4, and I can say this(pilot) is far better. Fuel consumption is similar, except the thermostat has being bypassed. Am more comfortable driving the vehicle than my mum's RX 330. The 330 has some Blindspot. You cant go wrong with it. Make sure you use the right transmission and gear oils 2 Likes |
Re: Why Are People Selling Off Their Pilots? by Dtruthspeaker: 7:20am On Jul 16, 2021 |
SMGGroup: I physically noticed this too. When the 2010 arrived Nigeria around 2012, most (let me not say all) put it up for sale after a few months, say 8months. Then the Nigerian used completely disappeared and now it is not often you see them parked for sale. So what is the Nigerian verdict? |
