Rate the Pilot - Honda Pilot

Art · 06-21-2004, 03:35 PM

Just curious, how you would rate the Pilot.....

ramirami · 06-21-2004, 04:15 PM

voted 4....has been as good as other vehicles I have owned before.... but nothing at all to complain about

a2Pilot · 06-21-2004, 05:22 PM

It's been good. Two years old, and I still like it. There have been a few more trips to the service department than I'd like, but I've got a very good Dealer, so it's not all that bad. That's what I get for buying one in the first year!

I'm sure many years from now, I'll look back and recall the Pilot was one of the cooler vehicles I've had.............

Practical for my family. Fun to drive. Reasonable fun off road. And who knew the Honda Pilot came with such a cool web site as standard equipment!!!!!!

Ziploc · 06-21-2004, 05:55 PM

Voted No. 4 without much hesitation--my Pilot isn't perfect and will never get the gas mileage some other Pilots get, but it continues to do the job for Mr. Ziploc and me. As it reaches 21,000+ miles, I'm still glad we bought it!!!

wwong · 06-21-2004, 06:11 PM

The best I have owned. 27,500 trouble free miles.

smurray · 06-21-2004, 08:00 PM

Best I've ever owned. But that's not saying a whole lot seeing as it costed more than twice any of my previous vehicles. I'd buy another one if the opportunity presented itself!

I wonder how honda-pilot.org member twisted would've voted...

camanopilot · 06-22-2004, 02:08 AM

Though, I have owned my Pilot for less than 6 months - I'd buy another in a NY minute. I have come from a long line of Jeeps all of which I loved. But considering ride, ergonomics, size, mph and the Honda name this is the 1 !

Besides that, all Pilots come with an incredible knowledge database. That would be this forum

Oahu_Dave · 06-24-2004, 12:41 AM

Voted 4. Its a great car for what it is. Nothing extra, not too many things missing (at least not that you cant just order up quickly). I am not thrilled with it, but not disappointed with it. Sorta wish I had thought of the towing limit before since I can see the need for more than 3500 sometimes. We wanted to tow a car on our move this week, but cant see doing it. Oh well.

SiHawk · 06-24-2004, 11:16 PM

I voted 4 because our other cars are/were an Acura Legend and a 3.5RL. The Pilot is nice, but I miss some of the features (especially the memory seats, mirrors, and steering wheel).

We bought the Pilot because we wanted 8 seats, and the MDX only seats 7. The Pilot is an excellent vehicle overall, it just doesnâ€™t have the amenities to make it rate a 5, which is expected when buying from Honda rather than Acura.

We all know what that putz would've said. Anyway, I'd still like to have a power passenger seat and memory on the driver side seat would be a nice addition.

Memory on the drivers is the biggie. As you can see from this picture why at least for my wife and I it is a big deal with the "slight" height difference between us...

Diesel · 06-25-2004, 08:08 PM

i went 4... only time will tell if that go up, down, or stays the same...

it's only got 100 miles on it...

pilot_chip · 06-26-2004, 08:21 PM

I voted 5 ( in keeping with the best vehicle I ever owned category)

so it really is the best vehicle I've ever owned.
It's a great vehicle , the Pilot is .
But there's always room for improvement
( I do miss the rear hatchback button to open the rear ,
I have it in the Grant Voyager which I still drive to home depot)
