  • A great SUV - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    I upgraded from the CRV because it didnt quite have enough room or capability to take a family of four+ on vacation, or even on a long weekend, easily. The Pilot has that capability and much more. It is an excellent cross- country cruiser but also fine around town for hauling kids or just stuff. It is not an ideal commuter but its tight turn radius, compliant suspension, good sightlines and medium size makes it a very tolerable in traffic and city parking garages. It can carry more people and stuff than the Odyssey and get just as good gas mileage as any mimivan. Its got getupandgo! It is never phased by any weather its seen. The navsystem is really good.

  • for a SUV w/ 3rd row seats, the best - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    we needed a 3rd row of seats... and after evaluating all of them from the volvo xc90 to the mercedes ML, the honda was definitely the best bang for the buck deal. but, even w/out considering costs, it still came out ahead b/c the 3rd row was the most functional.

  • Good Truck - 2004 Honda Pilot

    Good SUV. Easy to drive. Comfortable, and spacious, but the speed oscillates when cruise control is activated. Great driving on fresh snow as well as mud. Kids are delighted with third row seats. Large cargo area. Very comfortable during long trips.

  • Better than a Mercedes! - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    The best car I have ever owned. Awesome. GREAT acceleration, AWESOME fuel economy, seats that are more comfortable for long-range driving than a Mercedes (I sold my old 350SEL for the Pilot, and boy was I grateful for a better ride). I was behind a 70mp freeway crash last summer. A car from the right lane skidded and hit the car (in front of me!) in the far left lane. The Pilot handled beatifully.

  • No Title - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    I purchased the Pilot in July of this year (2004). So far so good, I enjoy the ride, the handling, the thought Honda has put into the interior. I purchased the Honda Pilot EXL w/DVD Entertainment system. My family has been impressed with the Honda Pilot, espiecially the DVD system and the roominess of the vehicle.

  • Excellent SUV - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Vehicle is easy to drive, handles exceptionally well, accelerates gracefully and quickly, and has plenty of storage capacity. Air conditioning and heating is excellent. Plenty of cup holders and storage trays and compartments.

  • Very happy owner - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Solid, reliable, comfortable. How can you ask for more. No flaws, no dealer service needed. The auto all-wheel drive is very good, you literally cant spin the wheels and you cant tell if all four wheels are engaged. Very quiet and smooth on the highway, very stable at high speed and manuvering. Acceration is very good for a 4,000+ lb vehicle. Has the usual outstanding Honda engine. No clunks, no front wheel torque. I guess Im happy with this SUV.

  • We Really Like Our Honda Pilot - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    We purchased one week after introduction in June 2002. It has been free of any major problems. Our Honda dealer seems to make a good effort servicing the vehicle and has kept us happy. I like its extra width which provides a luxurious roominess. The stow area in the center console is a very good design feature--easy place to place hand-carried items. Im glad we got leather seats.
