  • Honda Vet moves to SUV - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    I did my share of research for a well priced SUV that could provide a good value & resale value as well. It ended up right under our nose. The Honda Pilot. The Pilot has everything that I believe an average SUV buyer could want. The colors & interior options are great as well. I love everything about it. We owned a Pontiac Grand Prix GTP & it got 25mpg easy. I havent gotten to that point yet with our Pilot. But its new so Im optomistic.

  • Good SUV but improvements needed. - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Reliable SUV as expected from Honda. Good design. Acceptable interior. Fell short on the 3rd row seat design (not for humans!). Lack of standard "features" such as keyless remote entry. Im willing to sacrifice the aluminum wheels (look) for convenience features.

  • My only problem - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    I love the performance of the Pilot; I also like the navigation system. The only problem, so far, is the paint job, especially on the front bumper. It actually rubbed off when I brushed (not crashed into) a snow bank. Other points on the front of the car show that the paint appears to be coming off (not because of dings). Off course I had to paint to have the bumper repainted at the dealership. Other than that, I love it.

    A dream to drive!

  • Great car! - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Traded up from our troublesome 2000 Tahoe LS. Excellent in every respect.

  • Cavernous - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    It has a very solid, if not heavy feel. It handles well for an SUV. A quiet, comfortable ride. The radio can be loud without being annoying. The fit and finish is perfect. A huge center console wont have you and your significant other jockeying for elbow space. The front seating is cavernous. More front space than the much larger Sequoia and maybe even the Tahoe. The car feels slightly underpowered, surprising at 240 HP. You can floor it for more power of course, but the transmission will not-so-seamlessly downshift and the engine will quietly yell at you. I just filled my first tank since the purchase and if I did the math correctly, I got 14.9 MPG city

  • Nice SUV - 2003 Honda Pilot

    Difficult to find and tough to negotiate a deal. My area dealers all wanted at least $2500 over MSRP and it took a no trade deal to get a reasonable price. Fit and finish are typical high Honda quality. Overall, a great vehicle that is fun to drvie. We are pleased and believe this was a great replacment for our seven year old mini-van.

    We have owned 6 SUVs over the past 10 years and presently own 4.The Pilot is the BEST by far.Great handling,smooth ride, and excellent visability(no blind spots)In my opinion the seats are extremely comfortable.Great value for a well designed vehicle which will set the standard for future SUVs to be compared.

    Plenty of horsepower with v6 engine and good on fuel. The kids love the entertainment system and comfort.

  • Love my Pilot!!! - 2003 Honda Pilot
    By -

    When the lease was up on my 98 Toyota 4Runner, I knew I wanted another SUV but one with more seats. The Honda Pilot was a perfect choice! It is not too much larger but it seems so much more spacious. The interior is designed with a lot of thought put into it. It is so quiet and such a very smooth ride. I bought the car on a Saturday and on Monday had the cross bars installed and was I surprised!! The whistling noise was horrible, the service men had installed them incorrectly. They switched them around and it was instantly quiet again. I recommend the car to everyone, especially my friends with kids. Thanks, Honda!
