MSN PILOT REVIEW

I have thoroughly read this review and agree with everything this man has said about the Pilot, with the exeption of radio reception, I find it poor.

I've also read other review by this man, and he grades very hard, but honestly.

No sugar coating here, just the facts ma'am. Just the facts.

Check it out!

The other two MSN reviewers also reviewed the pilot.

Its also interesting to note that although the Pilot only scored a 72% in this review, it scored higher than any other SUV in its class that I could find including Highlander, MDX, Rodeo, Explorer, Envoy, & Durango. It also got a 5 star safety rating which most of the others didn't.

Funny, my Pilot can seat 8, not 7 like the reviewer's...

74PILOTMOM · 07-20-2003, 01:12 PM

I wonder why people keep saying that? Consumer reports even wrote the Pilot up with 7 seats once.
Makes me think they just review the MDX and put Pilot in the titles.

That particular reviewer seems to be more brutal with his reviews, but she still kicked butt

I pretty much agree with what the reviewer wrote (Daniel Heraud) but have to say that I have a problem with the 60% score for trunk volume and especially the 35% for Price/Equipment. The final score is then just an average of all the others which also seems a little strange, some things should IMHO be weighted higher than others e.g. safety. In this review the Defroster gets the same weight as Safety!

Daniel Heraud has the Pilot's powertrain warranty at 5yrs/60K miles too..

Company = BMW so the company ride has to be a BMW!
