This Year's Model Updates:

Leather-equipped EX models get heated seats and side mirrors as standard equipment. Honda has improved the navigation system this year with a larger database, and all models have improved walk-in accessibility to the third-row seat. All Hondas have a seatbelt reminder system added for 2004.

Pros:
  • Roomy interior with eight-passenger seating, versatile storage and cargo-hauling abilities, many standard features, comfortable ride.
Cons:
  • Mediocre towing capacity, feels big behind the wheel.

  • Very good ride seats need improvement - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    On long trips the seats are not comfortable at all. Quiet ride is nice and the sound system is very good.

  • I Love my Pilot EXL - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    The BEST SUV for the price. Sticker says 22mph highway...no way....Im getting 27mpg! Ride comfort is excellent! Does not ride like a truck like my old explorer did. Visiblity excellent...pleanty of wide open windows...makes for easy parking and loading. Only wish...Honda would have had this out when I got the Explorer!

    After doing extensive research to purchase a new SUV, we finally settled on the Honda Pilot and have not been disappointed in any way. It is roomy, for up to six persons (two children) and has the power to travel the colorado mountains without difficulty. I would recommend it for anyone, small family or large, who are active.

    We have had great luck with our Pilot it rides smoothly and fairly limited noise. The room is a plus.

  • 120000 miles now. - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    I purchased this SUV on 08/01/2002, based on reviews from the internet. This is my first Honda. Im a Sales Engineer and travel appx. 60,000/yr. The Honda has 125,000 miles. In terms of standard maintenance (oil, trans, tires, timing belt, etc.), over the two year period, I have spent $5361.45. This is slightly more that my 2WD Pathfinder. The difference between the Pilot and the Pathfinder is the maintenance required for the AWD. I have had NO BREAKDOWNS. Despite the mileage, I feel very confident driving this SUV

  • Dont Think Twice, Its All Right - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    My end of my lease is nearing. I am unbelievably letting go of my 04 Pilot w/Nav. A tremendous performer on wet, ice, snow, and the occasional stretches of smooth pavement I manage to come across. Reliable to a fault. Predictable and reasonable gas mileage. A great performer on the long haul. More usable space than anything else in its class. Carries an overwhelming amount of cargo. Nothing ever broke. Not even the smallest thing. m replacing it with the 08 Pilot. A no brainer.

  • Still love my Pilot after 6 months - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    This is a great SUV, more comfortable than 2004 Toyota Highlander. I made right choice.

  • great engineering - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    The fit and finish is the best of any SUV/Van I have owned. There are no rattles and squeeks. Lots of interior flexibility/space for large or small families. Sharp turning radius comes in handy for tight parking spots. Climbs over hills/mountains effortlessly with 255 HP engine.

  • Reliability at its finest - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Seats are very comfortable with an abundance of room. A friend who purchased an Expedition because of its size mentioned he was having second thoughts once he sat in the Pilot. It is running strong with just an oil change, making it 8 shop visits better than my all but forgotten 1999 Chevy Blazer in its first year of life.
