    yeah, its soft sprung. so what? this is kinda car that youd take your kids and grand ma out to see grand canyon on a 30hour drive. so softer the better, aight? with that, i dont think anything else can handle the way this truck does. even for a seden, its quite tight. its body rolls a bit and it dives somewhat in the corners but that is very very minimal price to pay for that quiet/hushed/cotten-candy ride. joe

    WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING OUR PILOT FOR TWO WEEKS AND LOVING IT. WE SHOPPED AROUND FOR A NEW SUV FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS AND TEST DROVE MOST SUVS WITH THE SAME PRICE RANGE AS THE PILOT BUT THE PILOT HAD MORE TO OFFER. WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY WITH THE MILEAGE BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING MOSTLY ON THE HIGHWAY AND REGULAR FUEL MAKES IT MORE AFFORDABLE.

    The Honda Pilot is my very first SUV, but my 3rd Honda vehicle. I traded in my perfectly fine 2000 Accord because there is finally an affordable SUV on the market that rides like a car. A week after I purchased this vehicle, my wife and I drove over 2000 miles roundtrip and into the mountains for vacation. Would drive 5+ hours before stopping - very comfortable and loved the storage space. On this same trip we became the chaufeur of choice at a family reunion - not a problem - tons of room for passengers. I would highly recommend this SUV.

  • Great vehicle for the family - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    I wont even begin to tell you how many people in my family own hondas...and this one doesnt dissapoint either. A weaker V6 engine than other, more rugged SUVs, shouldnt dissapoint those who need more room, safety at a reasonable price. With gas mileage a little lower than the sticker (16/21 -v- 17/22) it rates average when compared to the Toyotas and Nissans of the world. Very, very comfortable! Rides like a car! Handles well in the rain at high speeds.

  • The Best! - 2003 Honda Pilot

    Greta SUV to drive, we have had our for six months. Kids love the DVD ente. system. The only fight is for what movie to watch. We had long trips without any problems. Great Honda service.

    I have had this SUV for over a year. I love it. It is great. I have only one complaint the third seat is a little too small. An adult or even a teenager can not fit in it. It is made STRICTLY FOR KIDS. If the seat was a little bigger I wouldnt be able to find anything wrong with the car. It has an ample amount of power with great standard features. It is great for the price. You know that the resale value will be high and that it is very reliable because it is after all a HONDA.

  • Good all purpose vehicle - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    In general, the Pilot is a great all purpose vehicle. I have four kids and it fits them and my wife and our stuff comfortably. Drives like a car, easy to park, great sound system, handles well in most situations. Good acceleration and good braking. The ABS probably prevented a fender bender or two! Main issue is driving with windows open: YOU CANT! If you exceed 40mph with open windows, the resulting vibration is unbearable. Need to try those window air-foil things.

  • Awesome SUV for Moms - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    This is a great family car.. an alternative to the minivan. We can fit our baby, all of his things, all of our things and our 120 lb. dog comfortably. The ride is extremely smooth and the car is very manageable. It has everthing I need and doesnt feel too big even though it is fairly large. Love it!

  • Surprise - 2003 Honda Pilot

    Attention: My wife just paid $370 to replace fuel injection valve. Discovered there is a recall on transmissions. Anyone aware of this? Very surprised and alarmed. Loved this car but now Im disappointed in Honda reliablity.
