2003 Honda Pilot
By nearly every quantifiable measure, the Honda Pilot is the best sport-ute for the way real Americans really use SUVs. But when you start talking about qualitative things, the Pilot isn't quite as impressive. Its appearance (styling would be too strong a word) lacks character, although the color choice is better than Honda usually provides. The interior trim looks down-market. The ride is exceptionally quiet, but the suspension feels soggy, and the steering wheel is dead in your hands, reminding you that the Pilot shares a lot of hardware with the Honda Odyssey minivan.

The Honda Pilot in 2003, was Honda's first Honda marked SUV fully built and designed by Honda. Honda's initial SUV offering for many years was the Passport, which was a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo. Where the previous incarnation was truck based, the Pilot shares underpinnings and powertrain with the Acura MDX, which has a lineage which can be traced to the Honda Odyssey minivan (itself based on an expanded Accord platform).

The Honda Pilot is based on a unibody (unit body) frame. Pilot is designed on the same chassis as the Acura MDX and Honda Odyssey, and it is built in the same plant. As it is not based on a true ladder-frame like most trucks and larger SUVs, it doesn't have many of their shortcomings for typical drivers. The Honda Pilot has many class-leading features, especially in regard to safety. While there is no guarantee, Honda expects Pilot to get the same excellent NHTSA and IIHS crash ratings as have the Odyssey and MDX. They also claim to have exceeded standards for rear impacts, which are a growing concern for occupants in 3rd row seats. The Pilot uses advanced frontal airbags which adjust their force based on the severity of the crash, and the advanced side airbags in the front row will not inflate if a child passenger is detected in the passenger seat. Honda claims Pilot is best in class for acceleration, passing and driver visibility, all key for crash avoidance. Unlike most truck-based SUVs, Pilot has fully independent front and rear suspensions for superior ride and handling.

The Honda Pilot packs an amazingly large amount of interior room into its small overall package. The middle seats are comfortable for adults, but the third-row seats are strictly for young children or short trips.

The Honda Pilot is a reasonably priced, good-looking, practical sport-utility that offers exceptional interior space, excellent comfort and good power for the money. It brings Honda values, including an overall efficiency of design and operation, excellent build quality and a reputation for reliability to the medium-size SUV class. It also brings Honda's pricing strategy, which means choices for individual options are limited.
