This Year's Model Updates:

Leather-equipped EX models get heated seats and side mirrors as standard equipment. Honda has improved the navigation system this year with a larger database, and all models have improved walk-in accessibility to the third-row seat. All Hondas have a seatbelt reminder system added for 2004.

Pros:
  • Roomy interior with eight-passenger seating, versatile storage and cargo-hauling abilities, many standard features, comfortable ride.
Cons:
  • Mediocre towing capacity, feels big behind the wheel.

  • First - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    The build quality, ride and interior space are exceptional. Other than not having a sunroof it has all the creature comforts one could ask for.

    We love the car. We added some stripes and people dont know it is the Honda Pilot.

  • Quality Head to Toe - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    This screams top quality. From head to toe you notice the spit and polish put into this vehicle. From the higher set roof for headroom and large windows all throughout for greater visiblity, to the incredible cornering and turning. This is a mini-van replacer for sure. Do yourself a favor and test drive this vehicle, youll thank me later. :-)

    Ive driven Hondas for 23 years and my 2004 Pilot may be the best vehicle Ive ever driven. It has lots of power, a very smooth transmission, and gives a quiet ride (not true with a lot of Hondas). Its first task was a 5,000 mile trip to the Rockies and back. It supplied both power and handling on all kinds of mountain roads, including a short trip off-road. The DVD entertainment system and back seat configuration kept the kids happy. I would recommend a Pilot to anyone looking for a reliable SUV.

  • Cold Starts...Not so Good. - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    I live in So Cal and park my Pilot in the driveway. If its a cold night it wont always start the next morning The engine will crank but wont turn over on the first try. It will start on the second attempt. Honda service states that this is normal for a lot of new cars today...yeah right! He gave me various reasons why he thinks this is happening, though Im pretty sure he doesnt really know. He stated that all the Pilots on his lot were tested and all had delayed starts. This is not "normal" behavior for a car with 2000 miles on it. This is my third Honda...and if Honda doesnt make this right, it will be my last.

  • strut problem - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    I had to have both front struts replaced within 2 weeks of my purchase. The warranty took care of it and the dealership gave me a rental. I was a major inconvince, but I would still purchace another one. I hope I do not have any future problems.

  • as advertised - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Expect exactly what Honda promised with this vehicle. A wide, solid, roomy and reliable car-based SUV. No flash here but lots of value. Mediocre gas mileage, good sound system and high residual value. Dont expect to take on any z-4s through the curves but will likely quash most other mid- size SUVs with its standard features. The large "P" is however for practicality rather than passion. Enjoy!

  • Great Family Hauler - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Just bought a Pilot to replace an Olds minivan. Light years ahead of the van in refinement and quality and holds 1 more person too! A bargain compared to Ford Explorer and Toyota Highlander and roomier than both too. Incredible ride and comfort. Interior layout is great-everything is were it should be and operates smoothly. One last thing- dont let the dealer set you up for paying full sticker by telling you how in-demand they are. They will deal on these!

  • Impressed - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Had to wait 4 weeks to get the vehicle, but dealer experience was very positive. Loaded vehicle up with many dealer installed options, we hope that was not a mistake. Dealers servicemen took a lot of pride in prepping vehicle.
