Takes impact very well and wants to keep going every time I step on the gas. All I do is my oil changes and tires. I don’t plan on getting rid of it any time soon. Its better than most new cars of the same class imo

    I remember having the 2005 Honda Pilot, and let me say, it was a wonderful Honda vehicle. And this one still reminds you that Honda's vehicles are like tanks. I mean 19 years later, this car still looks like it's in great condition, and still running well. I just love the old school feeling this gives me when I see this, because I remember this interior all too well :D Definitely an old vehicle, but in a good way~~ Even the exterior styling still looks great in my opinion. Honda was at their prime during this time~~ This Pilot still proves the quality that Honda had back in the day. Finally, that iconic 3.5-L V6 we still know and love in the current Pilot and MDX still sounds amazing.

    My mother has a 2004 Pilot, and I drive it from time to time. It feels very nice and smooth. Only really had like 2 or 3 major issues, one was when the car got wrecked on accident back in '07 where a lot of body panels had to be replaced. We had the transmission replaced in 2016 for... obvious reasons if you know anything about Y2K-early 2000s era Honda V6 cars. Now there's an issue with stalling and honestly I suspect it to be the fuel pump (more specifically the strainer), which never got replaced. The car is an EX, and has 170k miles on it since she bought it new in May of 2004. It is still very well maintained and garage kept. She may get a new car in a year or 2, but she holds on to dear life with this thing. It's HER car, and nothing can replace it right now. And I can see why. It's quick, smooth, spacious, and it's very reliable. These engines were also more powerful than what other competitors had. Like, come on... GM only got ~210HP from their 3500 V6! ...give or take a few figures. Honda had 240HP in this, and DAMN was it quick! Not too fast, not too slow, but perfect! The 2005 actually did get a 255HP engine, and 2006-08 got 244 for some reason. The newer 2nd gen ones just didn't capture the spirit the old ones had, and in some cases were less safe. Also, fun fact, especially if you are working on one I guess: the 2003 model year is the only pilot that did not have a trumpet/hi-lo tone horn. It has a horn much like you'd hear in the CR-V from the time.

    I have an 04. These things have such a comfortable ride. Oh and that vtec sounds way to good. Pretty peppy for what they are and feel strong in terms of power. Though lacks a little low end torque, it still feels plenty peppy even mine with 200k miles on it. It rips hard once you get the Rpms above 3k. Best part is the throttle response. Idk if it’s my intake or the car but it’s really responsive from a dead stop. Steering it a bit tipsy and numb, but decently accurate for the age and size of the car. Still a very good family car!

    I never understood why Honda geared the V6 5 speed autos to have such long, dead gears. The J35 likes to rev. It doesn't like to be lugged around. The torque converters on these slip sooo much to make up for the lack of torque provided by the gear ratio. The torque converter doesn't even lockup in drive until 48 mph! That's very late for a 21st century automatic. The tall gearing is exacerbated any time you fill up the car with people or stuff, or god forbid you tow something. (better off using D3 if you do)

    Short gears = worse MPG. Also, I'm probably going to get heat for this, but this is part of the reason peaky Honda engine are overrated. The real problem isn't the gearing, it's the engine. You have to ring the nuts off of a J series to get power, which makes them less driveable and less efficient, particularly in a heavy family SUV application.

    @@thisjustin878 It seems bizarre to me that Honda would use gearing in their heaviest vehicles to squeeze out a miniscule 10% better mpg by using gearing so tall to the point it begins to hinder drivability. Yet, so many of their manual transmission are geared extremely short yet still deliver excellent real world mpg. Even if Honda deliberately geared the transmission tall to improve mpg, they could have done a better job by making gears 1-4 shorter and closer together, that way drivability is improved, the driver is less frustrated, and the probability of being in the "right" gear is increased, then 5th would be reserved for low rpm cruising. But no, Honda's engineers flat out gave the V6 engines very tall gears for no reason, then designed the torque converter to compensate by slipping tremendously. The result is worse efficient from drivetrain loss than if they used shorter gears and locked the torque converter earlier. If these transmissions were DSGs, they would literally be undrivable. The torque converter in these transmissions are heavily exploited to produce massive torque multiplication in every gear.

    I wonder why they did that too. My 2004 Acura MDX shifts from first gear at around 4000-4200 rpms even at around 40% throttle. My dad and I always that it was a sensor problem or something like that but it's not. They're programed to shift like that or something.
