  On My Way to a "Hat Trick" - 2005 Honda Pilot
  By M Byrne - July 19 - 10:00 am

  I am the proud owner of my second Pilot and plan to replace it with my third. Three in a row. The "Hat Trick" I traded my first Pilot in on my second. I received $23,000 for my trade and paid $5,500 to drive off in my new 04. It cost me $5,500 to drive 18 months and 45,000 miles. My Pilots have never had any warrenty work. They are a problem free vehicals.

  I bought a 2003 Pilot and put 62,000 miles on it in 2 years. I averaged 21- 22 miles per gallon and never had a seconds problem with it.Thats why I bought a 2005 Pilot. It is quiet, solid, rides great, with good power and great gas mileage.

  Leader Master view - 2005 Honda Pilot
  By leader master - June 20 - 10:30 pm

  Honda Pilot is the best SUV I was able to buy with these highest quality and reliability grades. Im a car fan with a strong orientation to SUVs since theyre roomy and theyre high enough to allow me see among the traffic. Visibility, Quality, Good Looking and "Roomy" interior are the features of Pilot. After awhile driving it doesnt seems too big behind the wheel, but very powerfull, the engine (240hp 3.5L V-Teck) provides an excellent strenght that make you feel confident when passing other vehicles or crossing with a yellow light. Another good feature is the clearence and the accessibility to the driver seat; it feels like first class and drives safely for a sized family w/grandparents.

  I have loved every Honda I have owned. But the Pilot is the best. It provides versatility, performance, comfort, and fuel efficiency into one vehicle!

  By annie - April 22 - 11:53 am

  I have no complaints about this vehicle, I recently went on a long distance vacation (2,000 miles), and got 25 miles per gallon on the highway using the cruise control. My two teenage children went with me and were quite comfortable in the vehicle.

  Honda pilot overall great suv - 2005 Honda Pilot
  By ROBERT ADAMS - April 18 - 5:13 pm

  Overall wonderful vehicle. Best car ever driven on ice and snow. Please note i work for a jeep dodge dealership and own multiple 4x4 vehicles other than the honda. Would like some additional features like rolling door locks andauto unlock feature when key is removed from ignition. Was rearended by a furniture truck 2 weeks ago. The truck bumper hit the main reinforcement on the rear bumper. $241 Damage to the pilot and smashed in the front steel bumper of the truck 2-3 inches. This vehicle is built like a tank. I plan to replace this pilot with another. Ps- this is my second pilot in 3 years.

  Solid performance great comfort - 2005 Honda Pilot
  By Eric - April 14 - 7:13 pm

  Drove up mt hood with excellent performance. I encountered sleet / ice roads and snowed filled roads. With my all seasons tires that came standard with the Pilot I experienced no slippage, excellent handling and felt very safe. Two thumbs way up!

  Impressed - 2005 Honda Pilot
  By m stewart - April 13 - 12:40 am

  My 05 Pilot continues to put a smile on my face. I am a Honda loyalist--this is my 5th. I traded my 03 Accord EX and have no regrets. While my Accord always seemed overly soft and loose in the curves, my Pilot rides and drives like an absolute dream. I love the handling and the ride continues to amaze me--very supple for an SUV and is light years ahead of the competition. Passengers are constantly commenting on the quietness and the smooth ride. If you are considering a midsize SUV, do yourself a favor and check out the Pilot.
