New 2012 EX Owner - Honda Pilot

dray0n · 10-09-2011, 11:10 AM

Hey Everyone -

Just wanted to introduce myself. After a few months of looking at vehicles, the wife and I went in and picked up our 2012 EX yesterday.

We traded in our 2005 Acura TL. I wanted something with a bit of towing power to trailer a motorcycle or two on trips.

So far, very happy with the choice.

DrayOn, nice color and trim. I am looking at an EX too. If you do not mind,how much did you pay? Is it true, Honda took out XM on the EX trim? And finally what kind of mpg are you getting?

It is true -- There is no XM radio in the EX. I had a falling out with XM over poor customer service and refuse to get them again so it was fine with me.

I ended up paying $34K OTD. I was having a difficult time finding the EX trim in white for some reason out here so didn't spend a ton of time haggling.

I am not sure on the MPG yet. We haven't gone through a full tank. The gauge on the truck was showing 17.5mpg. I forgot to reset it when I took it. This was 90% in town driving and about 10% on the highway.

Absolutely in love with it.
