Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Low emissions, room for 7, good mpg,
honda reliability, intelligent design.
Cons: needs sliding second row
The Bottom Line: Great family vehicle that redefines the SUV and Minivan
categories. I would recommend it to anyone.
I checked every expert review, read thousands of consumer
posts, test drove this and other vehicles before putting
a down payment on the Pilot. It is the best SUV/Minivan/stationwagon crossover there is.
The interior is spacious and well...

Pros: Its a HONDA-90,000 miles and we still love it.
Cons:
The front seats are a little tight if you are wide of rear like me!
The Bottom Line: Ownership for 6 years and 190,000 miles means we love it and are going to hang on for another 190,000.
After our 1997 Chrysler T & C Minivan started needing repairs every month we went new car shopping. Looked at Suburban,(too big, too thirsty), Expedition (same), Envoy XL (why buy a stretch ?) and Highlander (too small) We settled on the Pilot. Now ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: well designed interior, quiet and smooth ride, good acceleration
Cons: 3rd row cramped-only seats kids,no seat heaters, poor fuel efficiency (like all 4wd)
The Bottom Line: I love my Pilot and if you need to haul gaggles of kids and still feel like you're driving a luxury car, it rocks.
I went to Honda to test drive an Odyssey because I was tired of the noisiness and lack of pick up with my '96, 4 cylinder, Subaru outback. I loved the Odyssey, very fun to drive, but we have one toddler and are expecting twins, so I really needed to see...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: luxury yet rugged , great handling
Cons: expensive, bad gas mileage
The Bottom Line: dont buy men its a girly ride
The Honda Pilot, what to say about it. Good car to the naked eye. Sure its cute and looks real sleek but honostly it is not really all that good of a buy.
Okay first the price is real high for a car you could easily find in a different make. My...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Lots of storage space; Holds up to eight passengers
Cons: Rear seat makes for a tight squeeze; Exterior lacks distinction
The Bottom Line: Honda Pilot has a few minor flaws. But overall, it's a solid entry into the SUV market
Just a few years ago, Honda entered the SUV market with a vehicle known as the Honda Passport. This SUV was intended to compete with the Explorers and Blazers of the automotive world, but it wasn't a distinctly Honda product. This year, Honda decided to...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Powerful V6 240hp engine,comfortable cabin,nice and easy handling,super cold air conditioning!
Cons: "NON" negotiating dealer's,spare size tire should be larger,the headlights should be Xenon.
The Bottom Line: If you want a s.u.v that is capable of doing what ever you want to do;than the Pilot should be your choice!
I bought my Honda Pilot for MSRP in Detroit.Caution if you are planning to purchase the Pilot don't pay more than MSRP;I had to shop around to get mine for MSRP.In Detroit this S.U.V is very popular so all the dealer's are trying to make money by...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Honda reliability, easy to drive, room for the family and stuff, creature comforts
Cons: Priced a little high, third row tight, a little boring in the "looks" category
The Bottom Line: A great quasi-luxury SUV with Honda reliability, room for several passengers and good gas mileage. An excellent alternative to the minivan.
I use my SUV for work and for my family. I am in the construction business and my work takes me to many destinations each day. My company also allows me to reasonably choose my vehicle and use it liberally for personal use. This is a great "perk" and...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Roomy, good acceleration/power, comfortable. Very quiet/smooth ride. Nice layout/design inside.
Cons: Gas nozzle leaks. ~250 mpg (city) & 360 mpg (highway). Some features don't work properly.
The Bottom Line: If I were to rate this vehicle from 1 to 10, I would give it an 8.5.
The Bottom-Line:
The Honda Pilot stands mainly behind its maker’s reputation and holds mostly true to it. I have a black EX model of this, with regular wheels (not the alloy), rear backing sensors, cargo liner, auto-day/night rear-view mirror, fog...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Lots of attitude; Sedan-like, smooth ride; Safety, comfort and roominess
Cons: Scarcity and dealer mark-up
The Bottom Line: The only bad thing about the Honda Pilot is that you may not soon be able to pilot one. In addition, mark up will keep the regular consumer away!
If you are looking for comfort, style, roominess, power, comfort and decent interior design, The Pilot has everything you may need. In fact, on the company's web site, you will read that if you have a picky teenager, he/she won't hesitate to have you...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fuel economy, maintenance costs, ride and performance, retained value, utility.
Cons: Tow rating, lack of skid plating, hitch price, knee hits shifter in 1-2
The Bottom Line: It met my wants and needs so I ordered one, good fuel economy, fun to drive, Honda reliability, Honda retained value.
Dollars:
I am Canadian so all will be CND $'s.
In Canada they cost $42,000 for the EX or $44,000 for the EX-L with freight included. The only difference is leather trim and heated seats. To me this is a great value for an 8...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Overall package is like no other in its class. The ultimate SUV
Cons: Can't really think of any
The Bottom Line: This SUV really has no competition because it takes the best from the best and adds that understated quality that Honda adds to all their vehicles.
After an exhaustive search and many hours of SUV research I decided to purchase the 2003 Honda Pilot EX-L. Now after my first 1000 miles I can say with no hesitation that this is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. The ride, looks, price and...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Passenger and cargo space, interior style, flat cornering, value
Cons: Vague steering, front seats lack contour, gear selector often blocked
The Bottom Line: A stylish, roomy, and versatile interior makes this the best choice for many SUV buyers. For those who prefer sharp handling, Honda still has some work to do.
The Japanese were slow to react to the rapid growth in SUV sales, but now that they have they are offering a number of excellent products. Honda was especially slow to develop trucks, and especially large trucks, but for the 2003 model year it is ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Roomy, Solid Ride, Lots of Features, Honda Quality
Cons: Lacks memory seating, Dealer Mark-up
The Bottom Line: An excellent SUV overall, but lacking in just a few small areas. Dealer pricing pushes the price over $40k on loaded models - it's not worth that much.
With the introduction of the new Pilot SUV, Honda has again shown that they have no desire to be first, just the best. Honda was certainly not the first Japanese automaker to bring cars to the U.S., nor were they the first to build a car based...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great engine, driver comforts, roomy, quiet ride, not bad to look at either
Cons: none so far
The Bottom Line: Would recommend a test drive to anyone considering an SUV purchase. Great vehicle.
I traded up from the CRV. Never had any problems at all with the CRV. Never considered Isuzu-based "Passport". Was waiting for Pilot. Not disappointed. I test drove several other SUVs prior to the Pilot's arrival and by far I liked this one best....
