My wife has a '13 pilot. It's very noisy, like road noise. They may have fixed it in the newer models. I read that was a problem in the older models before we bought, but I also read that they put some sound dampening in the '13. If so, it must sound like a freight train in the '12 and older.
Also, I noticed a year or so ago that the paint right above the windshield started peeling in two spots. Then started noticing other pilots around town in the same color & age with similar issues. So, I googled it and there are a ton of people with the issue, but Honda won't issue a recall. Examples below. I'd be hesitant to buy another Honda if they don't stand behind their product.

Good luck with that. I still have a 2002 Accord 2 door and whatever their highest trim level is that I like to drive around when I don't need a truck. It is black and started having paint fading on most of the body. It had been washed and waxed regularly. I have seen so many over the years that are the same way, all '02-'04, and Honda has never owned up to the paint issue.
Oh, 220k+ and still doing fine with little issues. It just isn't pretty to look at.

Well, isn't that interesting? We had a 2008 Odyssey, white, had the same issue.......when we pulled up the tape from the Safelite guy who replaced the windshield after a tree branch fell and cracked it. The tape pulled the paint off! Got to reading and found that this issue goes back to early 2000's models and seems to apply mainly to white, silver and dark metallic blue colors. The fact you're encountering it on a 2013 is highly suspect and would make me steer very clear of another Honda for the foreseeable future.

I don't think the Pilot features the typical "Honda" reliability. They do have some issues. The newer ones have a lot of complaints on the 9 speed transmission.
The Ascent looks like a great vehicle, but it also has a CVT - which most drivers absolutely hate. There's also a lot of complaints on the eyesight system being too obtrusive and annoying.
