Slightly increased fuel capacity helps extend driving range, and a revised power steering pump provides improved on-center steering feel.

Honda has made slight frame changes this year that resulted in improved IIHS crash test ratings.

Awesome Family Car - 2005 Honda Pilot
By Tammy - June 11 - 1:46 amI love my honda Pilot. We shopped every SUV on the market and can be particular. The Pilot fit all our needs--good car for the $, reliable, good size, and stylish. Prior to the Pilot, I had a Nissan Pathfinder SUV, then a Toyota Camry, then a mini-van. I have now found my dream car! It is great for young children. The 3rd row is small, however, no smaller than the mini-vans 3rd row. Its awesome that the all rows fold flat--unlike the van. It is a very powerful car, hugs the road well,and great in the snow. I feel safe in this car and it feels good to know I am investing in a car that has a great safety rating, is realiable, and roomy enough for a young and growing family. Way to go Honda

2005 PILOT - 2005 Honda Pilot
By Matt - April 28 - 2:26 amGreat vehicle. Seller could not tow his extra large boat & trailer, we have no need for that. Sits 7 comfortably. Gas mileage is not the greatest but okay compared to other SUVs. A very comfortable ride. DVD system is excellent. Overall we are very happy with the purchase.

Fantastic - 2005 Honda Pilot
By Tekay - April 21 - 2:00 amTest drove a number of other cars Like the Toyota 4 runner the mazda mdx ,and jeep they all had high price tages the toyota and jeep didnt have very much driver room. the mdx seemed to be shorter in the lenght of front end and sloped downward and for the price and comfort the honda pilot was much better.

Honda shows why it holds its value - 2005 Honda Pilot
By Kendall - March 27 - 1:40 pmThis is an SUV that drives like a sedan. The quality of the workmanship is apparent as soon as you close the door. I am part of a Honda family and tell myself everytime I buy a new vehicle that I should try something different. However, the quality, resell value and reliability always brings me back. The Pilot is a great step into the SUV market for Honda. If you are looking for an SUV that doesnt drive like a truck or drink like one either this is your car.

What a ride! - 2005 Honda Pilot
By Hobo-Dan - March 17 - 12:40 amThe Honda pilot was a car i had set my eyes on getting ever since I first saw it come up. It is a fun car to drive and with the comfort and luxury i was looking for it was the only choice! no other car in its class comes close to what the pilot has to offer. Great Gas mileage and excellent handling. Since this is an expensive vehicle you can be sure that your dealership people will treat you very well. The number of accessories means i will never be finished upgradeing my car. I love my pilot!
