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.
- Roomy interior with eight-passenger seating, versatile storage and cargo-hauling abilities, many standard features, comfortable ride, smooth power delivery.
- Mediocre towing capacity, side curtain airbags not available, feels big behind the wheel.

Handles Like a 4WD Civic - 2005 Honda Pilot
By Anthony - April 11 - 3:55 amI have a 2009 Honda Civic Coupe as a summer driver, and going from that to this is not very hard given how small the Pilot handles for its size. It takes curves like a much smaller car, and has more than enough kick to remind you that youre piloting a V6, instead of the four-banger in the Civic. Definitely recommend this car for anyone looking for an older (but still stylish and functional) SUV. To heck with Ford and Chevy.

Love My Honda - 2005 Honda Pilot
By Alysha Turner - April 6 - 5:25 amHonda pilot is a great and relaible car but is not good with gas at all. This thing goes through gas like its free. A full tank only last 2 days and thats just pick up and drop off at school. Horrible gas mileage.
