  • A good buy - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    We had our pilot for 350 miles when we took a 1000 mile round trip through the mountains of Pennsylvania. We averaged 21.4 mpg. Commuting to work the average is 16.7. I am 64", the headroom enables me to wear a hat if I wish. Everyone who rides in the pilot (even in the third seat) comments on the good ride. Areally good buy that wont depreciate quickly!

  • Best Family Auto to own - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Going on 7,000 miles an loving it. My husband and I researched mid size suvs for 6 months seperately before purchase For safety, price, roominess, gas milage, fun to drive and towablility the Pilot out-ranked every thing else. Our other car is a Porsche so family auto had to be fun to drive too, it is. As a travel soccer family we needed room for 4+ for long distance travel - kids dont argue in the back any more. Moved up from a Mazda MPV and havent looked back! Really love this auto.

  • Best Riding SUV - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    The Acura MDX and Honda Pilot were very similar with their car-like ride, space and features. Both of these vehicles were head and shoulders above the others that we tested. We went with the Honda Pilot due to the higher cost of the Acura MDX. In our minds, we could not see paying the extra money for the extras that the MDX offered.

  • superior to any competitor in class - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Just why does anybody buy an SUV? Practical, go anywhere, looks, roomy, fun, features, price...and a few more. Without being an offroad pretender, this unit meets it all. My favorite, I never have to take my golf clubs out to run errors or pick up the kids.

  • Buyer - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    This is a very well built SUV. There is plenty of power for the weight and you barely feel the transmission shift. The seats are very comfortable. Plenty of headroom. I am also pleased to find that the fuel economy is very good as advertised. 20 mpg in the city. I have driven and priced all of the competition, this is by far the best deal in a four wheel drive SUV on the market.

  • nice car but buyers beware - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    This car runs great, love the interior except for the consoles. Gas mileage is horrible I feed this baby once a week. Problem with dampness/wetness on the carpeting from drivers side and passengers side. Had it serviced twice. So buyers beware, have it serviced by a mechanic before you purchase a used Pilot.

  • Goodbye Sienna - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Just traded a 2000 Toyota Sienna. The worst vehicle ever designed by the japanese for what could be the absolute best. The Pilot is wonderful! Great power, ride, utility and comfort. Thumbs up all around. Managed to get mine for $2000 below MSRP after some SERIOUS negotiations. The dealers are definitely proud of the Pilot.

  • Honda does it again - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Forget all your preconceived notions of Honda and test drive the Pilot before you buy any other midsize SUV. The ride, interior finish and cabin space are tops. Do your homework and youll find that no other car company offers anything close to what Hondas offering at this price. Add Hondas reputation for reliability and its a no brainer. We have two kids so we added the DVD system and its worth every penny. Honda had families in mind when they developed this SUV and they nailed it.

  • wonderful family vehicle - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    this is a great car -- very comfortable on long trips and very sure-footed off road. perhaps a little ponderous around town, however.
