  • Perfect Size - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Had been looking for a SUV that drives like a car. Found one in the Pilot. Has excellent power, but havent had it long enough to gauge fuel economy. Plenty of room inside and not to big outside. A/C works excellent. Feel lucky i guess, that I paid Only MSRP. Overall an excellent vehicle. Love it

  • Great car to drive - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    We have owned the EX Pilot for about 10 months now and have 10K on it right now. There have been two problems with the car which were taken car of, the center console lid would not stay closed and there was a body popping sound in the left front fender (loose strut mount nut) The ride is great especially for long trips. It also has handled the snowy High Sierra with ease. Three dislikes are poor fuel economy 15 MPG 17 MPG, could use a tad more power (MDX engine would be great), and brake life appears to be much shorter than what I expect to be "normal" based on the 7500 Honda maintenance check.

  • Ice performance - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    I dont usually write any reviews but after this weeks ice storm in Dallas, I had to testify for the performance of this vehicle. The 4WD system handled the completely iced roads beyond my expectations. I loved driving past other non-4WD SUVs and cars who were slipping and sliding just to find grip. I have read many past postings where people say the Pilot isnt a true 4WD vehicle and it cant go off-road, but I will take it in the sleet and snow anyday. Im not much into technical jargon such as "center locking differential" or AWD vs. 4WD, but I do know that the Pilot will get you to where you want to go safely while others could be in the ditch.

  • Good SUV - 2003 Honda Pilot

    Value for money. and honda quality makes it a winner

  • Pilot is well rounded SUV - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    I cant say enough about the Pilot. It meets all our needs and then some. It is an urban vehicle and a traveling vehicle. It is comfortable on long drives and nimble enough for city driving. The amenities are plentiful for cost and the quality is great. There are a few minor problems with some of the Pilots out there according to other owners (mine seems to have less than others)but for a first year model, it is the least problematic than any domestic vehicle I have owned. Honda has won me over with the Pilot.

    I use this car in my equine vet practice, carrying a good load all day long. Its been great and I would recommend it to anyone. I drive quite a bit all over the east and am very happy with this vehicle.

  • Off /road Machine - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Just did initial 600 mile test run in Mts. of Western North Carolina. Very smooth on highway, a little too much body roll in curves(used to bimmer) This is a serious off-road vehicle , It was toe to toe with a landcruiser but the Honda was much more smooth. Great fun and comfort off road. With DVD, the ultimate small family machine. For now,the havasu blue , one of the best looking vehicles on the road today.

  • New Pilot Review - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Ive had my Pilot nearly 6 weeks now, and am extremely satisfied with it! I paid $1200 under MSRP at Steve Bailey in OKC--however, I would NOT have received that good a deal if I had not first asked for a quote from their internet department. If you have a pet, I highly recommend the cargo liner! I ordered one off the internet from Spreen Honda in CA and, with shipping, still paid 25%

  • We Love It!!! - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    We have had our Pilot for four days....I love driving it. It handles so well and is quiet inside. We entered the dealership determined to get the EX Model with cloth seats....once my husband and kids saw the Leather and DVD Player all plans were thrown aside (along with my hope of a reasonable monthly payment! :) We did get a great deal on our trade-in as well as the purchase price. The dealership was very patient with us and was very low-pressure.... I would highly recommend Tracy Honda, see Hal!
