2004 Honda Pilot Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Good Car for Large Families or Those who Have Lots of Stuff by DianaID

Driving position & visibility

High up and good road visbility

Safety & braking

Braking is good, but safety features and 4WD are excellent.

Cargo capacity

Carry lots of things including my son's fencing team

Reliability & durability

Overall has been reliable and durable. I had only two "odd" repairs - transmission sensor and cracked brushings - in 130K miles. (I do take very good care of the car.)

Powertrain performance

Quietness

For some reason, Honda's are noisy and this one is too.

Tires

Simply put, the OEM tires stink. Ended up getting Michelins - much better.

Handling

The car's handling is only OK>
