The Honda Pilot is completely new in 2003, replacing the Honda Passport SUV. This is a full mid-size SUV that carries eight passengers, a V-6, 240-hp engine, and 4WD. Even with all the great features, it is not a workhorse dropping consumer ratings to about 9.0 / 10.0.

It is no surprise this Honda is rated highly by consumers. The 2003 Pilot carries forward all the traditional Honda trademarks such as quality, dependability, clean running, safe and economical. In case you don't have eight passengers, you may fold down the back two rows of seats to create enormous storage space.

The 3.5-liter engine supplies enough power to move this vehicle through traffic, and down the highway - but not so far off the road. Even with the larger engine, the Honda smart design is good on gas and on the environment.

Prices for used cars often vary, though it is safe to say that a price range between $14,000 and $22,500 for a 2003 Pilot is pretty accurate for a vehicle in good condition. All Pilot models have front-side airbags and are equipped with ABS disk brakes. In both front and side crash tests conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the 2003 Pilot score 5 out of a possible 5-stars.
