Pros: Horsepower, roomy interior, hidden storage, build quality, maneuverability
Cons: Hard seats, no memory, activity tray makes the back on the middle 2nd-row seat uncomfortable
The Bottom Line: Seems to be a very well made vehicle, very roomy, easy to handle, and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering an SUV or minivan.
I recently traded my 2002 Buick Rendezvous with 15000 miles for a new Honda Pilot. The only area in which the Rendezvous beat the Pilot was seat comfort. I'm disappointed with several things about the seats in the Pilot, but all things considered I'm...

Pros: SUV on Odyssey body
Cons: REALLY only room for FOUR people comfortably!!!!(no matter what they say..read on)
The Bottom Line: REALLY only room for FOUR adult-size people comfortably!!!!(no matter what they say..read on)
I was looking forward to test driving this new car. I had seen the brochures and was waiting for it to arrive at the dealership. When I finallly got in and drove it, I was thinking, not bad, not bad.
However, when we got back to the dealer and...

Pros: Nice looking, roomy great seating and interior layout
Cons: Not really powerful, not really a SUB
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a heavy duty SUV, look elsewhere, If you want a nice people hauler with all wheel drive, and don't mind overpaying for it, go ahead.
Really nice and comfortable and roomy vehicle. But this is another SUV wanna be. Here's why:
I was interested in the Honda Pilot, but ultimately decided not to buy it. It was the strange way they rated towing capacity that turned me off....

Pros: 3rd row seats (which fold flat). Consumer Reports "Best Buy".
Cons: Price. Car Dealers can't keep 'em on the lot.
The Bottom Line: Just what I was looking for in an SUV. Comfortable, roomy, nice handling, safer than most.
Our car buying experience:
I did a lot of research before buying my 2003 Honda Pilot. I loved my old sports car (a 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse), but it simply wasn't practical for my growing family. My father has driven SUVs as far...

Pros: The 8 seater option is great for an SUV that is not too big.
Cons: Out of date styling
The Bottom Line: Honda always does well figuring out what consumers really need in a vehicle. They will sell a lot of these. The Pilot is a very good vehicle.
Unlike the Passport (Isuzu Rodeo sibling), the Honda Passport is all HONDA.
General Appearance.
1. It looks boxy in certain angles but show some hint of aerodynamic styling.
2. The wheels seems rather small for its size. It...

Pros: Honda reliability. Attention to detail. Exceptionally smooth ride. Sun visor extensions! Cargo capacity. Safety.
Cons: Shifter too low. Lacking heated seats and mirrors. Automirror and cargocover should be standard .
The Bottom Line: It's simple: value, utility and safety. I'm VERY happy with my purchase (hey, I even went $1200.00 over my intended target price for this one!). Honda's right on the mark.
The quest: find the best SUV available with a target price of $30,000.00 (US). It took nearly a month, many test drives, numerous conversations with car owners and car salesmen, and perusing the classifieds for resale prices of various make vehicles....

Pros: Honda's reliability, Spacious interior, great craftmanship.
Cons: It is a minivan based SUV, so 4WD is just for bad on-road weather.
The Bottom Line: I strogly recommend this SUV for anyone looking for reliabitly and a safety. Honda has a great reputation and the pilot is sure to ensure that.
I have been recently been shopping around for a larger vehicle. I found myself wanting an S.U.V. I read every single magazine avaible and the list of SUV's avaible is endless. Car based, Minivan Based (like the Pilot), Truck Based, Multi-fuction...

Pros: GAS MILEAGE / CARGO ROOM HANDLING/ RELIABILITY BEING A HONDA
Cons: BODY STYLE IS VERY BASIC AND SUSPENSION IS NOT VERY GOOD FOR A SUV
The Bottom Line: If looking for a moderatly priced, fuel-efficient, japanese suv look elsewhere. better off buying the Hyundai Santa Fe which is cheaper and even sportier looking(CANT BEAT WARRANTY EITHER)
Honda coninues to be a solid car to buy no matter what type of automobile. Yet I for one am not to impressed with the boring body style of the pilot. It looks like many other competing japanese suvs but underperforms them as well as American suvs. The...

Pros: VTEC engine is very quiet, reliable, and powerful. Great outward visibility. Car like ride.
Cons: No heated outside rearview mirrors. Navigation system has limited "mapping" for some Olympic Peninsula locations.
The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend the Pilot. It is a good value for the money. Its versatility and car like ride with off road ability makes it a winner.
I was going to purchase the new Accord. Test drove the accord and the pilot. I liked the driving position and outward visibility of the pilot. The Variable Torque Management 4 wheel drive system for off road conditions made the pilot my choice. The ride...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Solid and quiet; inspires confidence
Cons: Looks like every other SUV
The Bottom Line: Time will tell if the initial quality holds up, but the Pilot feels like a much more expensive vehicle.
I had a chance to drive a Honda Pilot recently and it was an impressive experience. The vehicle looks and feels rock solid, leading me to believe that it will be comfortable and durable. Of course, time will tell if the Pilot is durable but it sure gave...

Pros: Drives Nicely
Cons: Makes a noise and inflicts vibrations on fuel system
The Bottom Line: Honda has to fix their problems before assuring it customer a quality product.
The Vehicle presents a loud noise and vibration on the gas tank when the fuel level is between 50 to 85% full.
I brought up the issue to Honda soon after I purchased the vehicle. Honda replied in writing that the problem is normal.

Pros: Handling, climate control system, fit and finish, seating, and baggage area
Cons: Lack of memory seats
The Bottom Line: Top of its class!
We took delivery of our Pilot five days ago. It is great: including visibility and turning radius. The mileage is better than we expected.
We were lucky enough to get it for list at a good dealer near my wife's job. I am unfortunate that...

Pros: Cargo capacity, 3rd row seating; nice ride
Cons: cargo shifting; no driver seat memory; visibility for some drivers
The Bottom Line: Almost a MDX for quite a bit less. What else is there to say?
So far, this has been a great vehicle. The ride is smooth - we will be going on a long road trip next summer. There is plenty of room, the gas mileage is good but not great but better than most comparable SUVs. The cargo area with the third row seat put...

Pros: The Saftey record is very good for this SUV
Cons: Seats not confortable, Steering is not the best.
The Bottom Line: If you are a skiier steer away. If you want a "family adventure vehicle" and don't care getting not much for alot then get it.
When I first saw this vehicle under SUV, At epinions.com I laughed. This car is far from a suv, Honda does not really even consider it a SUV they titled it "A family adventure vehicle". First of all Although this vechicle is a descent car It should...
