  • Happy Owner of 04 Pilot - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Just picked up a new pilot and have been very pleased in the short time Ive had it. I originally liked the looks of some competitors better but was sold on all the reviews. Therefore, I spruced it up with some options: Fender flares, chrome garnish, chrome wheels. I think it makes a lot of difference and am happier with it due to these items. FYI: The sticker was around $34.5K after the accessories but they dropped nearly $3K so I was out the door around $33K after T&T. From what I could tell, they made around $800. I doubt I could have done much better but who knows.

    After 3 Nissan Pathfinders, I decided to make the switch, mainly due to my wifes Accord and its reliability. The Pilot is unequaled to any SUV I have traveled in or driven. Incredible ride, steering radius of a much small er vehicle, and simply a pleasure to drive......Great pickup too.

    This is the nicest SUV on the market. Perfect in every way. I paid $1900.00 under msrp. Dealers will deal on them.

  • Best Car ever owned - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    My husband and I researched all the Suvs available and found that the Honda Pilot meet and exceeded all that we were looking for. We bought it new in Oct of 2002 before anyone had even heard about it and continue to love to drive it just like the day we bought it. It travels very well, its comfortable seating makes long road trips easy to handle not to mention the ease in use of all the controls for the entertainment system Etc. We tell everyone what a great SUV it is and have never had such a great time in a new car/truck like we are having with the pilot. Thanks for making a great SUV Honda.

    This is a great car, it has a cup holder and places to put your cell phone everywhere you look. Drives just like a car.

  • A Great & Practical SUV! - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    I am 30 days into driving my new Pilot and I love it! With three kids it gives me the flexibility to load all of them with friends at anytime. The DVD w/headphones allows me to listen to my favorite CDs or to actually talk with my wife! I especially appreciate the width and headroom...very comfortable. The interior design is well thought out and of high quality. Though not the most exciting exterior design it provides great visibility while driving. An excellent choice for a family man who wants something enjoyable to drive yet needs the flexibility to drive the cub scout den, baseball team, soccer club......

    This is my first time driving an SUV and Ill never go back to a car. Ive owned Honda Accords and have loved driving them. But after being up so high now I dont feel as comfortable when I get into a car. My husband and I are thoroughly pleased with the entire vehicle inside and out.

    Love the car. Drives well. Comfortable Enterior. Not Great on Fuel Milage (No SUV is). Lots of room for family (3 kids) and friends. Needs more protection on door panels from dings/scratches (already got first dings along passenger door on trim plate only after 1 week). Gear shift should be on floor - hard to shift. Wipers turn on backwards (down instead of up). Roof rack end piece flew off on freeway. Rattle in right front dash. Quality may not be as high as on early Hondas.

  • Awesome - 2004 Honda Pilot

    This vehicle drives great. Lots of cargo room and storage spaces. Radio is awesome..love the net and hooks for grocery shopping. Third row seating is very convient to use and easy to stow away.

  • Perfect Family SUV - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    This is my third Honda and I am thoroughly pleased with my decision to keep with the Honda brand. I whittled down the list to the Volvo XC90 and the Pilot, with my wife going for the Volvo. Because I would be driving and paying for it, I decided that the Pilot would be best in value and function. After I bought the car, she concurs with my decision. If you look at the Volvo reviews, it sure seems that there are alot of problems with the car. I really enjoy driving my Pilot. We feel safe not only from collision, but also because of the reliability. The smooth and quiet ride makes my long commute much more bearable.
