    overall, has a pleasant and comfortable feel in driving aswell as riding the pilot. easy to manuver but somtimes I hear clicking sound under the vehicle even when the windows are closed.

  • 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

  • 2 Month Review... - 2003 Honda Pilot

    We like our Pilot (family of 4 - kids age 8 & 5). Suits our needs fine, without breaking our budget. We esp. like the RES (DVD) setup... finally some peace and quiet for those longer rides (kids put headphones on and then my wife & I can talk w/o interruption)! Decent power. Would recommend the vehicle... actually I have several times already. A Good value.

  • Nice Alternative - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    I traded in my 1999 ML320 for a brand new Pilot with navigation. Shopped around and final settled with my local dealer at MSRP and a "pro package" at dealer cost. Also added the wood trim package and a DVD/tv tuner for the car. Was really surprised that I was able to get MSRP considering this dealer was asking $4000 over and the local dealers are notorious for not making good deals. Fun car, though disappointed with the gas mileage.

  • Three-Month Difference - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    I had the PILOT now for 4 months and Iam really satisfied with its performance except for two things. 1) Fuel economy is not true. This truck consumes gas like crazy!! 2)Iam having slight slow startup problems. Other than those two minor complaints, Iam generally happy with my PILOT. I also should have waited for another 3 more months before buying my PILOT. Why? The answer is $5,000.00 difference in the ourchase price.

  • Great CAr - 2003 Honda Pilot

    This car is a pleasure to drive. Sold us on Hondas after getting this car. The ride is very smooth!

  • 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.
