Overview & Reviews
Since its launch for the 2003 model year, the Honda Pilot has helped shape the market for crossover SUVs with three rows of seating. Offering V6 power, respectable fuel economy, a comfortable ride, plenty of interior space and seven-to-eight-passenger seating, the Pilot is exactly the kind of vehicle that appeals to growing families who are leery of traditional minivans. Other crossover SUVs might be sportier to drive or more stylish on the inside, but Honda's three-row crossover appeals to your practical side and packs in a lot of functionality.
Choosing a Pilot is straightforward, as Honda packages equipment in a few basic trim levels rather than offering countless options. Regardless of the year, all Honda Pilots give you three useful rows of seating and lots of storage slots, though early models are smaller and aren't quite as accommodating for teenagers in the third row. Cargo capacity has also increased over the years.

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

Great ride quality, low gas mileage - 2005 Honda Pilot
By briankyng - June 19 - 12:03 amI love this Pilot the more I drive it. I also have an S2000 and this is fine when the whole family has to go. It rides so well. I am used to my 4-Runner It does not even come close the performance of this. Even the new ones with the V8 engine. I only have about 3000 miles so far and have had not one little problem so far. Typical Honda quality.

So far, so good - 2009 Honda Pilot
By Brent - June 12 - 12:43 amWe have owned the vehicle for three weeks. If it wasnt totally irresponsible I would buy another one. This vehicle is a pleasure to drive. Honda did a nice job addressing road noise issues and giving the vehicle a luxury feel without loosing its utility personality.

A Good Family Midsize SUV - 2006 Honda Pilot
By Jesse B - June 11 - 2:03 pmThis SUV is very comfortable to drive. Leather seats are comfortable and supportive. Mileage is good for an SUV. The controls are logical and easy to operate. I like that the third row option folds flat on the floor. I bought the FWD because I never go offroad and mileage is slighly better than the 4WD. But during recent rainy weather the front wheels slipped frequently during initial acceleration. For safety reasons only I wish I had purchased the AWD.

"Its suppose to burn that much oil!" - 2009 Honda Pilot
By Cheeky - June 11 - 6:42 amWell, I have had my pilot since 09. I have enjoyed it so far, with a few exceptions. Around 80,000 miles my engine started misfiring. And I got a check engine light that came on. I took it to autozone were they pulled a code. The code confirmed my thoughts, it was a missfire in two of my spark plugs. I decided to save a little money and replace them myself. Figured how much trouble could it be. I pulled the plugs and two of the plugs seem to have been worn excessively. I started to do some research online only to find out that a lawsuit against Honda about this problem. Apparently the piston rings would shift and allow oil to enter the piston chamber, causing pre mature wear on the plugs and excessive oil consumption. Honda knows of the problem and is supposed to fix it. I brought this to the attention of dealership I frequently visit. I was told because I replaced the plugs and code was cleared I just had to wait until it happens again. Since that incident both catalic converters have failed, why you ask well because they have been coated with oil. By the way that will be a $1400 job please. Also, my Honda pilot if it sits running while parked for over a minute , and then I press the accelerator it blows out a large amount of smoke. I have since brought that up to the dealership. The mechanic told me I needed a new engine! Well, I brought up the leaking piston rings, the lawsuit etc. I was then told " That now I need to do an oil consumption test". Apparently burning three quarts of oil between oil changes is "normal" according to Gunn Honda. I havent changed the catalic converters on my pilot yet because I figured it would be a waste of money if they are going to get covered with oil and go out again ;I may want to wait. By not changing them keeps my fuel management system from working properly. For those who need further explanation if you see the green "ECO" light on! You are running on three cylinders and not six, which is "supposed" to be increasing your gas mileage. So if you are thinking of buying a used one understand this might be what you are getting. I will say other than that problem I have really enjoyed the ride and comfort of the pilot. If the new ones didnt look like the Honda Odyssey so much I might have upgraded.

Honda Pilot - 2003 Honda Pilot
By steeltalo - June 9 - 2:00 amOne dealer would sell MSRP, but order to take 6 months. St. Johns Honda, Portland, Oregon. Nice dealership. Like the way they do business. Actually acquired from different dealer. Got options at dealer cost which brought cost back down (approx. to MSRP) and got car immediately.

Reliability? Not a problem to Honda? - 2003 Honda Pilot
By analysisor - June 3 - 2:00 amI have owned it for about 2 months. Everything goes fine except twice starting difficulties. Once in a parking lot and once in the snow, just cannot start. Can not believe this is happenning to a Honda.

Pilot or Sequoia - 2003 Honda Pilot
By ned - June 3 - 2:00 amCant believe I found a SUV for a decent price. Restricted my choices to Toyota & Honda having endured poor Chevy Blazer & Dodge car reliability since 1987 (owned Toyota before either of them and it was great - so I am going Japanese again). GM & Dodge had 15yrs+ to win me back-they failed. Pilot: a landmark vehicle blending SUV & car characteristics for a decent price. Instead of buying more SUV than I need (Sequoia), I got the Pilot. Sit in one, then sit in a Tahoe - you will see.
