  • Love it. - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Waited since June for SageBrush Pearl- worth the wait. Wanted Honda reliability but couldnt take driving another minivan. Will keep this one for a long time (our Accord is still going strong 11 years and 175,000 miles later). Bought over Internet for 2000 under MSPR- threw in some free accessories too.

    Outstanding internior design. Utilization of space, controls and visability are the best of any car at any cost I have experienced. Excellent over size, performance. My one frustration is that I replaced OEM tires with Goodyear Fortura HLs at delivery and have vibration and harshness in ride. Has anyone had good experience with OEM tire replacement?

  • Other than the mileage....... - 2003 Honda Pilot

    This is a great vehicle. Driving it is fun....I feel safe, and it goes VERY well in snow. Bought the car used, was hesitant at first, but it was the right decision. Not very good on gas, and that is really the only drawback. Hondas certified used program is excellent. My wife has a CRV we bought new in 1999, has 67000 miles on it and its been in for service once, and that was for brakes. I am a big Honda fan.

    This is a great vehicle for every occasion. Styling could be better, but Im sure Honda will work on that in the future. This vehicle is comfortable, sporty, and luxurious all at once. People cant believe how large it is until they see it up close, or until they get inside. I get nothing but compliments on how good it rides.

    Have owned my 2003 Pilot for 10 months. The only problem that I have experienced is a clunking sound when the air conditioner kicks on. Other than that, love it.

  • Fun and Fast - 2003 Honda Pilot

    Not your usual SUV. Build strong but drives like a tight sedan. Corners nice and has great pick up. Very Pleased with my first Honda!

    Best all-around value for midsize SUVs. Honda has a definite winner here!

  • On the road..... - 2003 Honda Pilot

    Only minor glitch was some chrome plating peeling on the inside of the drivers door--promptly fixed by dealer under warranty. Car is excellent in all aspects but one....with the roof rack and cross bars, there is an annoying road whistle at highway speeds. This should be redesigned.

    Bought new and have put on 33000 miles in 18 mos. Only problem was needed battery replaced due to defect under warranty. My wife loves it and tells everyone. Tight turning radius, rides like a car. Excellent family car.

  • Great SUV!! - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    So far at 30000 miles only problem was with the rear wiper motor. After test driving the awkward and cumbersome Expedition, I found the Pilot a pleasure to drive the leather seats are divine and the vehicles ergonomics are delightful! The modular setup of the center console makes organizing gadget easy. The Pilot is great in the snow but due to its minivan platform serious off-road and towing capabilities are limited. The fuel economy is better than most SUVs but the industry has miserably failed consumers in fuel efficiency. If serious off-roading and/or towing arent important youd be hard pressed to find a better value SUV. I love this vehicle.
