  • Just Love IT! - 2003 Honda Pilot

    I just bought mine this weekend and I love it. It has 139,000 miles on it but the guy took care of it and has all the paper work down to every oil change. It rides very well.

  • 2003 Pilot Transmission Failure - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Bought certified pre-owned in 2005 with 30K miles. Bought extended warranty. Paid off last month and warranty ran out 8-9-2010, trans failed 8-23-2010. No help from warranty but Honda paid 25%. Picked up today and drove 1/4 mile and it made a grinding noise with ABS and VTM lights coming on. Waiting on Monday. All dealer service since purchased.

  • Seven Years - 2003 Honda Pilot

    Overall performance is very good. AWD is excellent in wet and snow covered roads. After installing a K & N air filter highway mileage is as high as 25 mpg. What I do not like is the quality. Chromed door handles started peeling at 50,000 miles. Exterior paint marks up easily. Many little things continue to go wrong. My next SUV will not be a Honda.

    I bought my 2003 Honda Pilot as brand new, since now it still runs like a brand new car. It has not problem what so ever. Everything is still original except the tires and brake pads. This car is the most dependable and reliable car I have ever seen.

  • Saved My Husbands Life - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    My husband bought me a 2003 Honda Pilot EXL for Mothers day. We had just had a baby and I was driving a 2002 Mustang and needed something I felt would be safer. We had no major problems. The engine mounts had to be replaced and the transmission was beginning to act a little squirrelly. However, my husband wrecked it before we were able to get the transmission checked out. He fell asleep behind the wheel on the way home from work (oil field) and went off into a steep ditch hitting a concrete embankment which caused the Pilot to roll twice landing upside down when finished. My husband was not buckled and ended up in the back by the cargo door. He WALKED away with NO INJURIES. Thank you Honda!

  • Incredible Impressed! - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    We bought our 2003 Honda new and have close to 200,000 miles on the car. It is still going strong and weve had no problems. We have done all of the recommended maintenance as outlined in the Honda owners manual (oil changes, brakes, engine tune ups, etc.) The car has been great in the snow and with good tire tread(all season radials), we have had NO problems thus far. Reliability has been exceptional. The interior has held up fairly well after the wear and tear of three kids. Our oldest child is now driving and this car will probably be driven "into the ground" by her. Our experience has been so good that we are looking at the 2010 Pilot! Overall, were happy with our Honda Pilot!

    I love my Honda Pilot! It is a great SUV and very reliable. I have 140,000 miles without any problems! Except for the mpgs, I am spoiled driving my SUV. The only problem I can say I have with it is that I dont want to drive anything else now! I would and do personally recommend this vehicle to anyone, from two people to 5 adults and 3 children.

  • Best SUV EVER - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    I was going to buy an Acura MDX until I drove the Honda Pilot. You get almost everything an MDX has for thousands less. The ride is wonderful and it looks great. Im sure this SUV will take over once people start seeing it on the roads. Better put in your order now.

    Have had the Pilot for 2 weeks now. Very happy thus far. Interior is huge and practical. Excellent build quality. Ride is very smooth compared to other SUVs.
