Leather-equipped EX models get heated seats and side mirrors as standard equipment. Honda has improved the navigation system this year with a larger database, and all models have improved walk-in accessibility to the third-row seat. All Hondas have a seatbelt reminder system added for 2004.

Pros:
  • Roomy interior with eight-passenger seating, versatile storage and cargo-hauling abilities, many standard features, comfortable ride.

  • Mediocre towing capacity, feels big behind the wheel.

    Compared to mywifes bigger Ford Expedition, it carries more, drives better, and utilizes so many interior spaces that it stores easily 12 times more parafanalia like tools, 8 phone books, jumper cables, than the Ford. Quiet, responsive, reliable, and safe.

    I love my Honda Pilot! It rides nice and smooth like a car. I love everything about it. The only negative I have to say is that it doesnt get the best gas mileage and that the stereo system could be better, but its comparable to most SUVs. I will definitely buy another. I LOVE IT!

    Poor people engineering and finish. The dash board has rattled since the day I drove it home. Two attempts to correct it failed. The console is loose. I was told that it was "poor design by Honda". The first time that I tried to pull one of the second row seats forward the release bar came off in my hand. Driving with the front windows down is impossible because of the sound created. Space and time do not allow for all of the inattention to common sense detailing. I previoulsy owned a Ford Explorer for 8 years and 176,000 miles that was much smarter.

    Moving up from a 1993 minivan. Big improvement. Very car-like ride for its size. Excellent handling, very good driving position. Headlights do a superior job illuminating the road. AC cools very rapidly & rear unit can be controlled from 2nd row if desired. Radio/CD player is fine to these non- audiophile ears. Center console has tons of storage. Lots of room w/ 3rd row seats folded down. Early evaluation is very positive.

    the gas tank is a bit short so, one has to go to the gas station often. I would love to see a hybrid version.

  • Over Priced Under Valued Pilot - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Vehicle rides like a wagon, stiff and bumpy. When taking turns, feels as though the body is sliding on the axle like a hot wheels car. Terrible gas mileage, but not surprising for an SUV. Youre paying (and dearly) for the Honda name! Vehicle cant hold a candle to their cars.

  • the one and only - Pilot - 2004 Honda Pilot

    After many disagreements, my husband finally talked me into getting an SUV. We did our research got a Pilot. Now I think I would think twice before getting back into a sedan. The ride is smooth, there is plenty of room and overall it is very comfortable for long trips (weve traveled about 16000 miles in it in about 7 months).

  • We love it!!! - 2004 Honda Pilot

    My husband says that this is the first car that he didnt minded paying for. It handles very well, has plently of room inside, is very attractive outside ( we bought the white one and added all the features). Our grandchildren love the DVd system--the grocery net actually works with ease. The third row seats go up and fold down effortlessly. We had a different SUV before the Honda Pilot and this car is in a different class. I have been driving it for almost 12 months and it still feels like a new car
