Listen, if you’re looking for an all around amazing vehicle, look no further than Honda. The Pilot is absolutely no exception. I have a 2003 Pilot that my parents bought brand new off the truck. I bought it from them when it had about 175k miles on it. It had the transmission replaced at around 100k miles but it was because something else went out and metal shavings got into the transmission and we were forced to replace it. The car has very little rust about the rear wheel wells and it is a 16 year old car so as expected. We just replaced the alternator a few months ago and I replaced the rear brakes recently. This thing is a tank. Let’s talk about how it handles in the snow. I drive at my job, so I know what normal 4wd feels like. My Pilot is absolutely ridiculous. I can’t force the wheels to break free and drift. I feel so safe while driving in the snow. One time a child was crossing the crosswalk and ran out in front of me and there was ice and snow on the road, so I slammed on my brakes. The car behind me bumped into me because I stopped so fast(no damage). So this thing is amazing in inclement weather. Usually with big vehicles, they aren’t very fast. But the Pilot is quick to go and quick to stop. I try to not push it very often but sometimes the situation calls for it, and I can rely on it to go quick. Overall, I rode in a car seat in this vehicle and now I drive it with nearly 214k miles on it with plenty of life left. Absolutely would recommend any Honda but especially the Pilot.
Incredible Impressed!

We bought our 2003 Honda new and have close to 200,000 miles on the car. It is still going strong and we've had no problems. We have done all of the recommended maintenance as outlined in the Honda owners manual (oil changes, brakes, engine tune ups, etc.) The car has been great in the snow and with good tire tread(all season radials), we have had NO problems thus far. Reliability has been exceptional. The interior has held up fairly well after the wear and tear of three kids. Our oldest child is now driving and this car will probably be driven "into the ground" by her. Our experience has been so good that we are looking at the 2010 Pilot! Overall, we're happy with our Honda Pilot!

I just bought mine this weekend and I love it. It has 139,000 miles on it but the guy took care of it and has all the paper work down to every oil change. It rides very well.

Purchased to replace a 1997 Suburban, and have been very impressed with the vehicle. Normal maintenance and have followed Honda's recommended maintenance schedule and the vehicle continues to impress mile after mile!

We have had a 2003 for 13 + years. We have nothing but good comments to make. We plan to buy a new one in 2017. The 2003 wear-well. Our experience make it wise to buy a 2017 model. We are having some difficulty choosing to sell it. It serves us well.
