  Mouse Trap - 2004 Honda Pilot
  By Moetime - March 25 - 4:46 pm

  Great ride, pleanty of room, and comfortable. Quiet cabin for the first year, there after, cabin noise seemed to increase, especially on highways. Gas mileage is not nearly what was stated...but the fact that you do not have to change the oil as frequently is a plus. I all it "the mouse trap" because we have cought six mice in the cabin so far. The dealer claims that it happens to all cars...all models, but this is a first for me. They think that the mice are getting through the freshair duct, and other than keeping it on recirculate, there is nothing that could be done.

  Pilot Comes Out On Top - 2004 Honda Pilot
  By Fluff - March 15 - 5:04 am

  I researched and test drove all the competitions models and the Honda Pilot came out on top in every area except its weight. You can really feel the weight dragging behind you during acceleration. If this is a problem for you, then the 2005 model may be what you are looking for. The extra hp make up the difference. This "Sport Utility Vehicle" will not take you off-roading or exploring treacherous terrain, but it is the best at being a "family adventure vehicle." Its a super value with the Honda quality and reliability we have grown accustomed to. I am a very proud owner.

  Love it - 2004 Honda Pilot
  By traveler - March 14 - 5:59 pm

  We did a lot of research before we bought the pilot. It has plenty of room and plenty of pep. Compared to the seats in a subaru outback, these seats are great. We tow it behind our motorhome and its really easy to set up to tow. We had a minivan and even though this is a little shorter, everyone is much more comfortable and the ride is great. We dont use the 3rd seat often, but its great to have when its needed. This is our first Honda car (my husband rides Honda motorcycles) and we love it! Last summer we drove 5 hours to Upstate NY with two kids (one is 16, the other is 10) and a golden retriever. Everyone was comfortable and the gas mileage was 23 mpg with the a/c on.

  Disappointed - 2004 Honda Pilot
  By Cindy - February 23 - 10:31 am

  Ive now owned my Honda Pilot for 10 months and logged 20,000 miles both in town and on trips. Im finally giving up and turning it in. My major complaint is comfort...my 62" husband and two pre-teen sons feel like sardines on trips. At 510", I can barely stand sitting in the second row seat. My second complaint is gas mileage. Despite a 17/22 rating, Im lucky if we get 18 on trips...initially we were getting 15 in town. When I returned to the dealership they said the mileage would improve after the first 10,000 miles. It has improved slightly, but still nowhere near the stated rating. This SUV is fine for the driver and front seat passenger, but is not a good family trip car!

  Good Truck - 2004 Honda Pilot
  By Dax - February 1 - 10:00 am

  Good SUV. Easy to drive. Comfortable, and spacious, but the speed oscillates when cruise control is activated. Great driving on fresh snow as well as mud. Kids are delighted with third row seats. Large cargo area. Very comfortable during long trips.

  No Title - 2004 Honda Pilot
  By Nitty - February 1 - 10:00 am

  I purchased the Pilot in July of this year (2004). So far so good, I enjoy the ride, the handling, the thought Honda has put into the interior. I purchased the Honda Pilot EXL w/DVD Entertainment system. My family has been impressed with the Honda Pilot, espiecially the DVD system and the roominess of the vehicle.

  Very happy owner - 2004 Honda Pilot
  By adale48840 - February 1 - 10:00 am

  Solid, reliable, comfortable. How can you ask for more. No flaws, no dealer service needed. The auto all-wheel drive is very good, you literally cant spin the wheels and you cant tell if all four wheels are engaged. Very quiet and smooth on the highway, very stable at high speed and manuvering. Acceration is very good for a 4,000+ lb vehicle. Has the usual outstanding Honda engine. No clunks, no front wheel torque. I guess Im happy with this SUV.

  Absolutely love it! - 2004 Honda Pilot
  By Marleigh - January 20 - 8:00 pm

  I bought my Pilot after researching it for a year. I am so impressed with the room inside. It is definitely more spacious inside than it looks outside. I really love how the middle row can seat three people comfortably, something you dont get with most SUVs. It rides great, and I love how nimble it is. It drives just like a car, and I can get in and out of parking decks and parking lots with no problems. It is great for my family, and I cant wait to take it on a long vacation. It will be me, my husband, my young son, and my parents. My son fits fine in the 3rd row and loves it back there.
