    I got this car beacuse im a new mother and wnted something safe. I love the way it fits everythind I need like strollers and my dogs kennel. it has power outlets for everything I could possibly need. I feel safe in it because its bigger than my car was but not to big for me to manage.

  • Love the Pilot - 2004 Honda Pilot

    I bought my 04 EXL-Nav w/ 22K miles in immaculate condition. The ride is very smooth and quiet for an SUV. Ive always been a car guy, but Im very happy with the Pilot. There are a few interior rattles but theyre bearable. I was impressed the first time I punched it getting into traffic - it really moves for a truck that size. I test-drove several mid-size SUVs, but the Pilot outmatched them all in almost every category, and hey - its a Honda!

  • Sweet!!! - 2004 Honda Pilot

    As an Architect, I fell in love with the Pilots interior...very stylish and adaptable center console. The exterior is a bit boring, but added optional running boards which helps (also a big help for mums to get in). Without kids, I havent used the third row seating, but love the HUGE cargo space for hauling stuff. The ride is tight yet smooth, if occasionally noisy... much improved from my former Explorer. Enjoyed driving in 6" snow this last weekend with the auto 4 wheel drive... and the seat warmers! Sweet!!!

    We travel everywhere in the pilot with no worries. Great on gas and excellent on reliability. Very glad we bought this vehicle.

    Traded in my much beloved 2000 Odyssey (97,000 miles) and couldnt be happier. Why the heck cant an American manufacturer make a vehicle as nice as this.

  • Quiet competency - 2004 Honda Pilot

    Following several of my friends recommendations, we test drove the Pilot after several sedans. While the exterior is not altogether exciting, it is understated and quite palatable. The interior is enormous and very well laid out for a family. The step height is quite low and buckling in my son in a car seat is now a breeze. The fit and finish is top rate, as all Hondas are, and the thoughtful touches to the storage spaces and ergonomics are outstanding.

  • Why spend more for the Acura? - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    The 2004 Pilot EX is the 2nd Honda Ive owned. After doing a great deal of market research and sitting down to identify the characteristics I needed (and in some cases wanted) in an SUV, the Honda stomped the competition. Bottom line, I was ready to step up to a more refined vehicle. The Pilot is the best all-around vehicle on the market. I bought the vehicle at Edmunds True Market Value and was happy to get the deal. If youre in Southeastern Virginia, Checkered Flag Honda in Virginia Beach is worth the drive. No high pressure sales pitch. Test drove one day and came back two days later and bought the vehicle.

  • Pilot is performance perfected! - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    The car off the lot is well equipped; however, if youre looking for bells and whistles youre gonna pay! e.g. running boards/ air deflector/ ski rack/ cargo cover/liner/ wood trim/ 6 disc CD changer/ etc./ These can easily set you back another 5 grand or more depending on your ability to negotiate. Bottom line off the lot all the right things are right with this car. You cant go wrong, especially if youre looking for craftmanship, performance AND gas savings!
