What Owners are Saying About the 2004 Honda Pilot
"Quality"
"Seats are a little rough. Along with the seat belt placement. But the vehicle is very strong and does well in the snow."
"The best purchase I've ever made in my life!!!"
"I currently have 199,800 miles (and counting) on my 4WD 2005 Pilot. I purchased it in '08 with 29k miles on it. When I drove it home my neighbor said I'd NEVER have a problem with it. He was telling the truth!!!! The only way this SUV is leaving my possession is when I purchase its smaller counterpart (the CR-V) at which point I'll gift my Pilot to one of my (now grown) children. It's safe, durable, uber reliable and strong enough to uproot a tree (I did in the 1st month that I owned it). I have the EX-L and I love the front seat warmers, sunroof and leather seats. Matter of-fact, those will have to be a must in my CR-V. This car is so durable, I even love how the paint has held up. I really do believe this engine will last another 200K miles. I look forward to many more oil changes and life memories with grandchildren learning to drive this vehicle. Thanks Honda! Due to this purchase you've got a family of customers for life!"
"250k; aiming for 400k"
"I've owned the vehicle since it was new and it has been a fantastic vehicle. While others may not like the fuel economy, it is an appropriate gas efficiency for the utility it provides. I get roughly 18 in the winter (more city driving) and up to 22 in the summer (more highway driving), with AWD too. With gas prices at $3.40 a gallon, the total cost of ownership for 14 years and 250k can be broken down as follows: 10.6 cents/mile for Maintenance and Repairs (incl. 2 timing belt services), 19 cents/mile for gas, 12.5 cents/mile depreciation, 8 cents/mile insurance; total of 50 cents/mile. In comparison to a newer vehicle, I still can't find an equivalent value for a vehicle that I don't have to worry about and that is honest in what it is (I'm car touchscreen/gimic averse)."
