Overview & Reviews

The 2005 Honda Pilot receives a new 255-hp engine, along with numerous functional changes. A tire-pressure monitoring system has been added, and EX models with leather get vehicle stability control. Slightly increased fuel capacity helps extend driving range, and a revised power steering pump provides improved on-center steering feel. Inside the cabin, the instrument panel has been tweaked with ambient lighting and a six-disc CD changer for all EX trims. A driver footrest has been added, and leather-upholstered EX models can now be had with a sunroof. The LX now has standard keyless entry, and all models get an integrated remote key and fob. Honda has made slight frame changes this year that resulted in improved IIHS crash test ratings.

• Mediocre towing capacity, side curtain airbags not available, feels big behind the wheel.

  Fantastic - 2005 Honda Pilot
  By Tekay - April 21 - 2:00 am

  Test 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 pm

  This 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 am

  The 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!

  Excellent vehicle to get out of town for a long weekend. Great on the highway, with plenty of window view.

  Nice vehicle but needs a few adjustments - 2005 Honda Pilot
  By patman - February 18 - 5:03 am

  It is hard to go wrong with a Honda. However, there a few quirks with the 2005 Pilot. While the interior is spacious and the instrument panel well laid out, leg room comfort of the driver is less than desirable. Honda needs to rethink the placement of the emergency brake - it interferes with those of us with moderate and long legs. It is hard to strech out and take advantage of the foot rest with brake pedal where it is. The stiff rear-hatch tension makes it hard to close an open hatch - particluarly while carrying something. Acceleration is often jerky and unrefined - particularly in city driving. The sound systems is OK, but could use improvment - my cd changer was broken at delivery

  The Best - 2005 Honda Pilot
  By Bailla - December 13 - 4:23 pm

  I enjoy the room that the pilot offers and it can seat 8 easily. I wish the towing capacity were a little better but the 2005 model has come along way. There is more horespower as well as a sunroof. I would recomend this vehicle to everyone.

  2005 Honda Pilot: SUV for larger familes - 2005 Honda Pilot
  By Colleen - December 6 - 7:30 am

  This is my 6th Honda, and favorite Honda to date. I needed an 8 seater and did not want an enormous vehicle. The dealership where I purchased this SUV (Largo Honda-where I purchased/leased 4 of the vehicles) makes buying/leasing a "breeze". Bottom line: great vehicle-superior to Honda Passport (last vehicle.
