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.

  • I like it a lot. - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Ive owned it since January 2003. I purchased it when I found out I was pregnant with my first child. It is very comfortable in traveling with people and children. I test drove every SUV in its class and this one was the roomiest. I recommend it.

  • Love my Pilot - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    I searched for two years for a new car. After researching on the web, I was convinced Honda Pilot was the one for me. They are sharp looking and easy to handle. The dealership was great to work with. I went to three different Honda dealerships and negotiated the best price. This is the first Honda I have owned.

  • uncomfortable seats - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    like the car in many ways, but I find the seats hit me mid leg and cause worse leg fatigue. the center console being open catches way to many things and is sloppy. The performance of the car is reliable, one of the best I drove when I was looking.the navigational system is wrong often.and the voice is annoying.the seats dont fold down flat.seats are not heated..

  • plastic honda - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    you never know about a vehicle until you wash it. the plastic in a tide bottle seems of a better quailty than the product on the front of our honda.before you buy look under the front the plastic under the engine doesnt completly extend all the way across leaving two small holes on either side. honda wouldnt admit it seemed to be a error. sloppy for a honda. they have learned how to make less look like more.

  • The best "Midsize SUV" - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    I did alot of reviewing before I bought my Pilot. I knew that it was the right choice. I put Midsize in " only because its far from that. Lots of space. My family and I had a picnic this past week. We fit 8 adults with no problem. Try doing that in any other Midsize SUV. With gas prices already high. The Pilot will give you the best gas economy you can find. Durablity and reliability, its a Honda.

  • Honda Sucks - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    I took the truck to different dealers to diagnoses a hesitation in the transmission. All they did was to upgrade the computer system. After insisting that the symptom was not but a product of my imagination, the recall came trough. The second gear was burn and the transaxle was not engaging anymore. The car has a lot of push with 245hp. However the pulling is barely getting by without hurting the 4 wheel system and a $5000 out of my pocket. I am fighting Honda for the warranty that just pass the 1000 over. Buyer beware, Honda is great for cars and light vehicles. Please do not try their trucks and expected them to pull like an American.

  • So Far So Great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Ive had my 04 Pilot EX for a yr. now and just love it. Have 10,000 miles on it. The ride and comfort is great. I feel like Im in a luxury car. Ive had absolutely no problems with it. Only the recall on the transmission. My dealer took care of the recall and they have been great to me with all the regular maintenance that has been done so far. My kids love the Pilot, the interior room and plenty of cup holders. Exterior fit and finish has been great. Ive kept it washed and waxed, the Nighthawk Black Pearl finish is impecable when clean and waxed. Looks like wet glass. This Pilot is the best vehicle i have ever owned. Just ask me bamatpe@aol.com

  • Amazing SUV - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    It is a great vehicle. Honda build quality, performance, comfort, ergonomics, and low cost of ownership. My wife and kids also just love it. It is really hard to believe that this "midsize" SUV can carry all this cargo and 8 passengers!! I have shopped for so many other SUVs and find it the best overall value.

  • Good, not great - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Excellent Honda reputation, questionable ergonomics. Uncomfortable drivers seat. Steering wheel position and drivers seat hard to match for comfort. Small radio/cd buttons on dash, steering wheel controls seem lilke afterthoughts, not as user friendly as controls in new Accord. Great drivetrain, confidence building trip through the Deleware Gorge in the rain, filled the back with antiques and a dog, got 20 mpg over 900 miles. The Nav comes only with continental USA software.
