    This is by far the best vehicle purchase we have ever made. It has more than enough passenger and cargo room. The engine has plenty of horsepwer. I highly recommend the Pilot.

    Loved our Accord, so we looked at Pilot when the time for new vehicle arrived. Bought for MSRP with no hassles. Have averaged 18 City and 21-24 on highway (65 - 80 mph). Unbelievable gas mileage for 4400 lb. SUV with 240 HP. Plenty of room, quality workmanship, and nice driving feel. This is a good alternative to a minivan (which we had) with no apparent loss of MPG and the benefit of 4WD at similar cost. Considered the Explorer and Sequoia, but the Ford experience with our Windstar left us leery and we didnt need the cost or low MPG of the big Toyota.

    For me the Pilot is a great vehicle. It drives like a honda sedan, fits more kids than a minivan, and provides 4x4 where its needed. It has great safety features. Also, something that I have not seen enough of is commentary from owners of the gps navigation system. The gps navigation system seems like it might be just a novelty, but it has been incredibly accurate and helpful all around town. Getting to someones home, finding that restaurant, etc. Getting you home after scooting around all day. It really takes the pain out of driving through a large urban/suburan area. I do not think I will ever have another car without one.

  • Hard to Beat - 2003 Honda Pilot

    Plain and simple. There is nothing in even close to this price range that offers what the pilot does. Handles wonderfully, firm ride, great acceleration, great interior. I did a great deal of shopping before I bought and was very suprised how far above the others this vehicle was.

    I own both 2003 Pilot and MDX. While Pilot is bulkier in size and handling it is also a softer ride and has superior ergodynamics. MPG is a bit disappointing especially when your loaded up on those ski trips but it has plenty of get up and go. Ive had tough time selling mine and trade in is tough with dealers(I was given MDX as part of new job).

  • Poor Mileage - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    The good: Handles well; Fun, smooth drive; Good performance and seating options. The bad: Terrible mileage! My Pilot averages 14 mpg city/17 mpg hwy. Dealer explains my cruddy mileage as being the result of "vehicle to vehicle variance". Consumer beware! Another problem is that the driver is unable to control unwanted backseat air conditioning. Finally, leather used in seating stretches and makes new seats look old and worn.

  • Good, but... - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    OwnerÂ’s man needs to correct grammar & errors like use dishwash det to wash car & failure to note only elec spray to clean clear plastic. Manual should say replace fuel vapor canister every 50K mi & gas tank not go below 1/4 so no overheat. Needs: timing chain rather than timing belt, split tailgate design, tailgate window to roll up/down, rear seats to adjust & recline, telescoping steering wheel, 42V elec sys, sun roof, compass where outside temp is, 7 yr/100K war, frt & rear side air curtains, color- match metal door-edge guards & elec tire pres monitor sys like Corvette has & govt will mandate soon.

  • suv that drives like a car - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    best suv on the maket for safety and fuel economy and fun to drive, feels like a car not a suv. Its not if 4wd all the time so you save on gas.
