  • Amazing! - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    I have owned my Pilot for 8 months now and I love it. Its clean, comfortable, resourceful, and well built. I have not had any problems whatsoever. It is the smoothest drive and has lots of room, more than a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Its great for traveling, camping, fishing, family and more. Everything is durable and well put together, even the engine looks clean and easy to work on if necessary. I would recommend this vehicle to everyone. I havent been so satisfied with my car like this ever. Before I owned 2 VW Jettas and had nothing but problems and I have never been happier with my Pilot.

  • Just got my 2004 with leather - 2004 Honda Pilot

    So far, this is the best vehicle I have ever owned. It handles like a dream and gets respectable fuel mileage for an SUV. The sound system in the EX model is fantastic with the sub woofer. The front seats are extremely comfortable. The 3.5L engine combined with the 5 speed transmission gives you all the power you need in both city and highway traffic. Its so smooth, I dont usually even notice when it shifts. I got the midnight blue pearl color, and it is the prettiest blue I have ever seen on any car. The metal flake really sparkles in the sun.

    Great SUV, you feel very safe while driving. You get the same car as the Acura for $8,000 less, while using regular fuel. Acura needs Premium! Mileage is good for a car this size. Drives like a dream!!!

  • I enjoy my Honda Pilot - 2004 Honda Pilot

    Overall, it rocks. I like the spacious interior, driving it is a joy. The fold- down third row seats provide ample cargo space. Even though I have yet to achieve the advertised gas milage, I believe itll improve over time (I only got 1500 miles on it). Typical Honda engineering and craftsmanship, I have had no problem with my Pilot. Ill recommend anyone looking for a practical midsize SUV to consider a Honda Pilot.

  • Enjoyable SUV - 2004 Honda Pilot

    I have had my Pilot first the get-go. It is fun to drive, seats the kids and dogs and groceries and whatever I pick up during the day. The GPS could be better, more detailed. The MPG is NOT the advertised MPG I get...I get much less. Wish I could have gotten the GPS and the DVD system together...wanted Honda to add DVD on but they said no go.

    Im so happy that this is the car I chose. With the third seat up my three children and their friends all fit with room to spare. The Pilot is a great alternative to a minivan or extra large SUV without compromising any space. Its fun to drive and MUCH easier to park than my husbands Suburban! I highly recommend anyone looking to check out the Pilot.

    I love my Honda Pilot and the service and assistance I have received from Frank Kent Honda in Fort Worth has been wonderful. Its the first time Ive owned a car for almost a year and not started looking for what I wanted next.

  • A Great Choice! - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    This is an excellent vehicle. We love our Pilot. We first became interested in it because of the wonderful safety ratings it was given by consumer reports, and we are very happy with our decision. There are some extras, like automatic lights and power passenger seats that the EXL does not have. We wish these features had been offered to us.

  • Awesome SUV - 2004 Honda Pilot
    By -

    Extremely happy with our new 2004 Honda Pilot EX w/ Nav System. I recently drove to Napa in our Pilot and the ride was very enjoyable. I loved the 240 V6 horse power, the convenient volume adjustment buttons on the steering wheel, the improved Nav system (proved especially helpful when taking some back roads) and the heated seats. It did take me a while to get used to driving the SUV as it does feel like you are driving a truck at times. But you get over that very quickly. With the third row back seats down the extra cargo space was really helpful. Pricing was also very reasonable at $32,500 (which included destination fee and trunk mat).

  • best suv on road - 2004 Honda Pilot

    test drove most suvs in its class and none had the great visibility and mobility of the pilot. bought a 2004 last month. blind spots not a problem. didnt think i would use the heated seats or mirrors as much as i have. mirrors clear off in under a minute. great vehicle. love the pilot.
