  Soooo good, we named it. - 2003 Honda Pilot
  By autosavant - May 29 - 4:51 pm

  I brought home my first born from the hospital in my new Honda Pilot. After 200,000 miles in ten reliable years, I must say that it has been a pleasure owning it. "Hans" my daughter named it, the ultimate compliment rides as smooth as it did when first purchased. It would be nice to buy a new car but just cant let go of it to see how far itll go! Many say its a 300K miles automobile.

  Mine was a very Reliable Car - 2003 Honda Pilot
  By warrenam47 - September 23 - 8:50 pm

  I live in the mountains of NC. The roads are very dangerous here, esp. in the winter. I test drove my Pilot in a snow storm, and bought it for its size and great gas mileage. i Never got stuck in the snow. and i drove this past winter for an hour from boone to beech mountain Everyday. nothing, and i mean nothing ever went wrong in the car. the only things i spent money on were literally break pads and a few oil changes. it was at 125k when i recently hit a deer going 70mph and its now totaled and im now heartbroken. there seems to be something seriously wrong with every SUV i consider to replace my pilot with. i loved luxury cars but now im feeling more sensible... and a grille guard is ness

  I also have a 2003 honda pilot. We have kept up on all maintenance on this vehicle. Had drive light flash and was told 4th gear pressure sensor was bad, had that fixed. A month later my transmission starts acting up, take to dealer and they told me I needed a whole new transmission and was gonna cost us $3000.00 to fix

  Honda Owners Beware - 2003 Honda Pilot
  By Pilot Owner - October 13 - 2:00 am

  Had the torque converter and transmission replaced with only 89k miles under normal driving conditions. Total cost was over $3600. Better have deep pockets for Honda repairs, as they love their parts.

  2003 Pilot Transmission Failure - 2003 Honda Pilot
  By DownSouth - August 27 - 11:01 pm

  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.

  Excllent SUV - 2003 Honda Pilot
  By debijo - January 16 - 3:46 pm

  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.

  New Honda Pilot - 2003 Honda Pilot
  By beshannon - November 28 - 10:00 am

  We are very pleased with our recent purchase. Lots of storage space, well thought out compartments, very nice interior trim. Ride comfort is excellent, engine is smooth. Nav system is very good although the software is several years out of date. Audio system is good, dash mounted tweeters are a little shrill. Excellent visibility, large mirrors and good over the hood view. We compared ML350, RX330, MDX, Murano, Touareg.

  Honda Pilot LX - 2003 Honda Pilot
  By pmdurbin - October 28 - 2:00 am

  The LX has all the features a family needs for comfort including rear AC standard. When you compare the Honda Pilot LX to similar vehicles (Explorer, Trailblazer, Highlander) you cant beat the price for what you get. This vehicle feels very heavy in that the ride feels secure in contact with the road. The Explorer just doesnt have the same weight and feel to it that tha Pilot does. All this and a Honda too...

  Nice but could be better - 2003 Honda Pilot
  By Tullander - October 16 - 10:00 am

  I like the Pilot very much, but it suffers from "un-Honda-like" interior fit/finish problems. Door sills dont seat properly, rear AC vents easily fall out of position, edge of rear headcover is exposed and not covered by its trim moulding, front drivers door window seal makes annoying noise.
