Model Overview:

Since its launch for the 2003 model year, the Honda Pilot has helped shape the market for crossover SUVs with three rows of seating. Offering V6 power, respectable fuel economy, a comfortable ride, plenty of interior space and seven-to-eight-passenger seating, the Pilot is exactly the kind of vehicle that appeals to growing families who are leery of traditional minivans. Other crossover SUVs might be sportier to drive or more stylish on the inside, but Honda's three-row crossover appeals to your practical side and packs in a lot of functionality.

Choosing a Pilot is straightforward, as Honda packages equipment in a few basic trim levels rather than offering countless options. Regardless of the year, all Honda Pilots give you three useful rows of seating and lots of storage slots, though early models are smaller and aren't quite as accommodating for teenagers in the third row. Cargo capacity has also increased over the years.

  • Cant Be Beat - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Pilot is the only choice when considering mid-size SUVs. Compared to the Acura MDX, any domestic SUV or even the BMW and Volvo, the Pilot holds its own and the price beats the competition by a landslide. When asked, no other dealership could sell me on why their more expensive SUVs were better than the Pilot. Extremely roomy, well equipped, stylish - what more do you want?

    This is a fantastic vehicle! I shopped many SUVs over a 3 month period and the Pilot was the best vehicle for the price - and worth every dollar!

    I am very happy with my pilot. I have 3 kids and many carpools to deal with. I feel very safe in it and enjoy driving it very much. I like the fact that I am up higher than a car on the road.Except for a couple of issues such as the front passenger seat isnt electric, and I would have liked a memory button for the drivers seat, I am very happy with its design.

    i had enough of general motors build quailty on my suburban(tranny gave out at 50k. we went to look at the hondas and were impressed. the test drive was what did it. we put it through the paces in the dirt and everything. when we were done we pulled into the back lot next to all the pilots and he said take a pick. the whole buying senario was a pleasurable experience(did i say thay that?)

    we love our pilot...from the smoothness on the road to the third row seat to keep our kids apart to the way the third row folds down flat when we need to go camping...its a great car

    This is our familys 5th Honda & it is by far the most fun I have had driving their product to date. Only complaints are the weak lumbar support in the drivers seat & the CD/DVD player controls are hard to work while driving. Other than that, a great & reliable SUV that is great for hauling our busy kids, their friends & sports equipment around!

  • Happy in a Honda - 2003 Honda Pilot

    So far, we have been very happy with our Honda. We have taken one long trip (2600 miles)that was very comfortable. We love the size of the vehicle for everything from taking trips to hauling groceries. We have two children in car seats and when needed, mom has room to comfortably sit between them. The stereo sounds great! Overall, we could not have asked for more in a vehicle.
