    After owning a 91 Integra, a 98 Accord EX V6 (not to mention wifes 99 Accord EX), we traded up to a Sagebrush Pilot EXL. Pilots a great vehicle...rides like a big Accord (very smooth), great visibility, great features, plenty of room for family & cargo,etc. Dealership experience at Majestic Honda (RI) was great...got at MSRP w/less than 2 wk delivery time, PLUS $200 options discount for being "internet shopper". 2 years ago, we assumed our next vehicle would be the Odyssey...thank god the Pilot came along!

    Some people on this board say that $32K makes it overpriced, competitors that are half the quality cost $38K loaded. People making comparisons of it to upper-class SUVs should know the Pilot is in a class with Explorers. So what if you pay sticker price, you are getting a car that will be reliable and will have good resale value. Compare it to the competition, you will see which one has quality, dont be fooled by looks. GM is selling image, Honda is selling a quality car. GM wont make a quality car; they are selling you the car with the cheapest parts for the highest price!

  • Better than advertised! - 2003 Honda Pilot

    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

    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
    By -

    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.
