  • Great SUV! - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Great all around vehicle. Had a minivan, definitely made a move in the right direction. This vehicle rides like an Accord and has the roominess of the Oddysey.

  • Completely Satisfied So Far - 2003 Honda Pilot

    I traded in a 96 Toyota Camry on my new Pilot and havent looked back. I was used to a quite ride with the Camry, and the Pilot offers the same (which is surprising for a mid-size SUV). Ive only had it a week, but so far its been everything I wanted in a new vehicle -- comfort, roominess, smooth ride, performance and style. Honda has done a superb job of focusing on details, from the placement of controls to the feel of the leather seats. The interior is spacious and the center console is a great organizer for CDs, DVDs, cell phone, etc. The DVD player is a "BIG HIT" with my two 5 year olds.

    great reliable though not exciting

  • Beyond Luxury Class...Best SUV Yet. - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    It seems like Honda didnt spare anything. We traded in a Lexus for this Pilot and I was worried about loosing some luxury comforts...This Pilot is much more than my Lexus. Better audio (much better sub-woofer), DVD, third row seating, more cargo, great interior design, plenty of storage, etc...for much less.

  • 2003 Pilot with 210k miles - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Have had mixed results with my 2003 Pilot. Have had two major transmission repairs, one covered by warranty and the other one cost me $900. HOWEVER, the biggest disappointment has been the RES (rear entertainment center). There is an annoying low frequency buzz that appears on both radio and DVD play. While its minorly annoying on the speakers it incapacitates the wireless headphones. Unfortunately, Hondas solution is to replace the whole unit for a fee of $1700. Have mixed opinions of purchasing another Pilot.

  • Gets ALOT of looks - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    We just purchased our Pilot this month and we are crazy about it! We were looking at the Explorer, Highlander, and Trailblazer, but nothing even compares to this amazing vehicle. The best compliment thus far was from a Lexus RX 300 owner, he wanted to know who made that car we were driving? When we said Honda he was astounded. Love all features! Flow Honda was hands down the best dealer to work with! We actually bought for under MSRP with all the features we wanted! Highly recommend this SUV to anyone. Plenty of cargo room, no other SUV we tested beats the seating comfort or the ride. The quadruple five star safety rating was a huge plus.

  • Everything you need, nothing you dont. - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    After much research, we ordered a Pilot. The 2 month wait seemed long but it was worth the wait. Everything about this vehicle is Honda quality. There hasnt been a single issue with it in the first 10,000 miles. And the interior is so useful and well laid out. I could go on and on about this vehicle, but will just say that no one will be disappointed with this vehicle. We wouldnt trade ours for anything. But I havent seen the 04 Pilot yet!

  • Cant Take This Car Down - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    I purchased this car used/certified with about 10k on. I have driven it from state to state and just love the way it drives. We have dubbed it the "TANK" because we were rear ended twice while sitting at a stand still and virtually no damage to the Honda. The cars that hit us on both occasions folded up like a slinky. Will drive this car until it falls apart. I LOVE IT.

  • excellent - 2003 Honda Pilot

    We traded in our 1993 honda accord ex with 127000 miles on it we only had small problems with the car and sorry we had to move on. We tested the the honda pilot and loved it the only thing we wish we had was passenger side electric seats.......

  • Great SUV - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    The Honda Pilot is really a gem. We just took our family to North Carolina from Ohio and it was truly a comfortable ride. We traded in our Chrysler MiniVan for this and have no regrets. With two out of three kids in a child restraint seat, the second row still has plenty of room for an adult. The only thing I can say negetive about it is that the third row is quite compact and unless you are a small adult (like 52 and under, you would not be too comfortable. Otherwise, its a great choice for a family and anytone who likes to travel.
