  • Better than advertised! - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    It sure took Honda a long time to build an SUV, but its been worth the wait. After much investigation, this is the best midsized SUV on the market. Yes, its an MDX in jeans, but the vehicle looks great, handles incredibly well and provides tons of room -- all at a reasonable price. Safety and Honda quality are reasons enough to buy the Pilot, but the vehicle offers so much more. Even features like the third row seat folding flat and the stereo controls on the steering wheel demonstrate that Honda gave great thought to the little things too. This will be a terrific SUV for my family for years and years.

  • Great SUV except in the curves - 2003 Honda Pilot

    Honda got it right with this one! The vehicle ives up to the rave reviews that it has been getting, with excellent Honda quality throughout. Just a reminder, this is a SUV and not a car; you need to slow down on the highway exit ramps!

  • Big Reliable Quality SUV - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    The base model Pilot is fantastic. The cloth interior is great, and who gives a hoot about the sunroof anyway. Bought mine for $26,500, and what a deal. What technology. MDX Mechanicals under the body, and big enough for a huge camping trip. Plus, I dont pamper it like I would a $40k MDX.

  • Great vehicle. - 2003 Honda Pilot

    Have had the Pilot for 3 weeks. Paid over sticker, unfortunately. Enjoy the drive the room, and the layout. Mileage so far, though -- 2 tanks of gas...is only 10-12 mpg in city traffic. Please tell me this will improve dramatically.

  • Best value - 2003 Honda Pilot

    Got mine just below sticker. Excellent handling, very spacious interior, averaging 19 mpg city and highway. If you have an old SUV, you will not believe the difference.

  • A good buy - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    We had our pilot for 350 miles when we took a 1000 mile round trip through the mountains of Pennsylvania. We averaged 21.4 mpg. Commuting to work the average is 16.7. I am 64", the headroom enables me to wear a hat if I wish. Everyone who rides in the pilot (even in the third seat) comments on the good ride. Areally good buy that wont depreciate quickly!

  • Best Family Auto to own - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Going on 7,000 miles an loving it. My husband and I researched mid size suvs for 6 months seperately before purchase For safety, price, roominess, gas milage, fun to drive and towablility the Pilot out-ranked every thing else. Our other car is a Porsche so family auto had to be fun to drive too, it is. As a travel soccer family we needed room for 4+ for long distance travel - kids dont argue in the back any more. Moved up from a Mazda MPV and havent looked back! Really love this auto.

  • Best Riding SUV - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    The Acura MDX and Honda Pilot were very similar with their car-like ride, space and features. Both of these vehicles were head and shoulders above the others that we tested. We went with the Honda Pilot due to the higher cost of the Acura MDX. In our minds, we could not see paying the extra money for the extras that the MDX offered.

  • superior to any competitor in class - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Just why does anybody buy an SUV? Practical, go anywhere, looks, roomy, fun, features, price...and a few more. Without being an offroad pretender, this unit meets it all. My favorite, I never have to take my golf clubs out to run errors or pick up the kids.
