Pros: Very spacious, comfortable interior. Very quiet ride for a vehicle of this size
Cons: Fuel economy.
The Bottom Line: If you need a spacious, comfortable and safe family vehicle and are allergic to vans, this is the vehicle for you.
Finally, Honda has come out with a full size sport utility vehicle! The quality construction for which Honda is synonymous is evident in the Pilot. Has enough cup holders and power outlets to handle any long road trips with children. The third row is...

Pros: Best SUV for the money; powerful engine; roomy interior.
Cons: The front passenger seat is hand-cranked, not electric.
The Bottom Line: Excellent SUV
I drove a 1977, 1990, 1996 Suburban. I got between 9-14 mpg. Continual breakdowns made it an unhappy driving experience. The windshield in the 96 Suburban cracked three times the first week I owned the car.
I tested the Highlander,...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Overall package is like no other in its class. The ultimate SUV
Cons: Can't really think of any
The Bottom Line: This SUV really has no competition because it takes the best from the best and adds that understated quality that Honda adds to all their vehicles.
After an exhaustive search and many hours of SUV research I decided to purchase the 2003 Honda Pilot EX-L. Now after my first 1000 miles I can say with no hesitation that this is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. The ride, looks, price and...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Interior styling, build quality, safety, comfort, ride, power, mileage (for an SUV this size), reliability.
Cons: Road noise, rear glass does not open or slide.
The Bottom Line: The best SUV I could find in the market after 7 months of research and testing all SUVs. Ideally suited for city and highway driving (the type you really do).
I bought the Pilot on the first day that it came out. I have the Evergreen EX-L (leather) with a saddle interior. I bought this color because I was looking for the beige interior (looks very expensive). Only Green and Gold come with the beige interior....

Pros: Low emissions, room for 7, good mpg,
honda reliability, intelligent design.

The Bottom Line: Great family vehicle that redefines the SUV and Minivan
categories. I would recommend it to anyone.

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
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....
