2003 Honda Pilot EX-L /DVD review from North America
"Solid buy sound financial move"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Weather stripping in rear is falling out. Leather looks worn already. Passenger inside door handle pops off.
General comments?
Hardware issues really. It's a Honda afterall. Super quiet engine with a smooth seamless transmission and good sound system for a stock unit. DVD was the best thing ever to keep kids quiet on long trips. Who needs warm milk.
I haven't driven it that much, but everytime I hop in I'm reminded why Hondas are in such demand and why Pilot's retain so much of their value. It is not the best looking SUV by far, but this vehicle is the epitome of beauty only being skin deep. Go get one with the DVD player. The NAV system is a toy because for me I don't need a e-map going back and forth to work.
