İs it just me or seeing normal cars that you can afford on this channel is way better than seeing million dollar sport cars that you can only dream about
It is nice not seeing any super cars for a change
Yeah
well some people can afford it though and besides there not millions of dollars, so before u get on about how u like to see normal cars remember the people who can afford “expensive cars”
@@shanes2g i hate those damn super cars like who tf actually likes to watch videos of that crap
@@ariielx1402 that was not called for at all ✋🏽
Been seeing supercar reviews lately, nice to see normal cars as well
Tony k damn you ain’t to be rude he just said normal cars like cars you’ll see everyday
Me too
@Tony k I usually watch the povs of what i can afford lmao... looking to get my first car A7 looking good 👌
No joke why i clicked
I love all the sounds this car makes. The V6 sound, VTEC, and the transmission whine in 1st gear.
simply unbeatable
I miss 90's-early 2000's cars. So simplistic and mechanical. Nowadays everything is a computer on wheels with a million motorized components.
technology advances dude it's not the end of the world
i still mis the old cars though 😢
@@nicolechalabi9870 and so does the price :\
Looks and sounds like it’s still in fantastic shape, it’s owner definitely took care of it.
Garage kept for sure.
@drw19
This older car test drives are the best!
More like this please!😉🙏
Yessss
My family bought a 2004 pilot brand new, we just sold it to a junk yard last year with 195k miles on it (had too many issues to fix) It was a solid car, my family never took care of it maintenance wise but it survived the abuse and a ton of family road trips, it was really comfortable to drive and sit inside.
I see what you mean, I had a beater honda civic that lasted 300,000 km and it had a bunch of problems. Most people would be unhappy that their car broke but I'm extremely happy because I'm surprised it lasted this long under my negligence
I love the old cars
I do not
Love old cars
@@bebstudiosproductions4731 everyone's opinion can vary
i respect it
You call this old? Old start from 1999.
I owned one of these, someone in my family has it at around 240,000 miles currently. Easiest car to change the oil on that I've had so far.
One of the simplest cars ive worked on...the rear shocks take literally 10 min or less to change out.
We are getting one with 270 000 miles. How much longer will it last?
I remember my relatives had an (I think) 03 Pilot EX-L in black. It was definitely a big leap forward for Honda, and kind of foretold the future with large crossovers.
Love this car, especially the green speedometer lights. Parents had one back in the day.
I love seeing clean older vehicles. Much respect to owners who actually take care of their cars.
Same...they are usually worth alot too
I got a 2006 with 130,000k. I got it with 108,000k as my first car. 3rd year in college and this thing helped me move so many things, got me through several road trips, and over rough terrain many times. Its built like a tank. 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
Thanks, not everyone who watches your videos can buy a new cars, We need to see more video like this. Thanks!!
This is way soothing than hearing a person voice all throughout the video lying. Thanks for the commentary bro. 💪🏾💪🏾
This man made a 2003 Honda Pilot review interesting.
I still like this bodystyle. The current gen Pilot looks too much like a van. JMHO.
When you see them (and the Nissan Pathfinder) in dash cam videos everyone calls them minivans
Let’s review a normal 2003 car, but in 2020!!
Much love, your friends at Rev Media!!
It’s crazy how these Pilots are almost 20 years old and they are still heavily sought after. When I was working at a dealership, people paid top dollar for them and would go crazy if it was an EX-L. Comes to show how great these older Pilots are.
The 1st and 2nd generation ones were nice. The traditional 2 box shape. Relatively beefy underneath. Port injection J35 engine that would run forever.
@@mmiller1188 Honestly. I have a 2004 Acura MDX with the j35 engine with almost 200,000 miles on it and it still runs great and sounds great.
@@mmiller1188 Yeah, the transmission is the weak link for these.
@@mmiller1188 i detest the 2nd gens i think they are fugly inside and out...but i love the 1st and 3rd.
The first generation Pilots honestly looked the best for me. Very simple design, simple throughout the interior, and just has that Honda quality we love back in the day. This car brings me back to the mid to late 2000s, when my parents bought a 2005 Pilot. Plus you can't beat that iconic 3.5-L V6 that Honda has used for yearsss.
Love cars from the 2000's.
Ye
Old cloth seats looks so cozy compared to new ones
Excellent honda pilot test drive
Almost 20 years old and still looks really good
More honda pilots test drive of differents generations
I love the sound of that VTECH
Such a detailed video I love it.
My mom had a 2010 with 215k miles, it had been in 4 accidents and it was still in decent shape when we traded it in this year for her 4Runner. These are such nice cars
I just watched my 2004 model get towed to the forever box so seeing this made me shed a big boy tear.... I already miss my car so much and it's only been 5 minutes. It drove me from diaper to degree with a few weeks to spare on both ends.
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.
Tennessee looks really peaceful and relaxing
Love that 90’s honda start up sound.
same
Reminds me of the 2005 Honda Civic my mom used to drive, such a classic Honda startup. Also love that VTEC crossover noise at 5000 RPM that we all know and love~
My dream car 🥵😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
@Tayshaun Emerson honestly a dream car to me is a car that you can afford a Lamborghini is very expensive so it wouldn't be my first choice
Tony k I think they was playing LMAO
QuarthMeat 😐
Well then 😂
i have a 05 but i want the 08 its the best first gen pilot year.
This and the 07 Town and Country are my favourite vids
Nice vídeo
so majestic
Watching vehicle reviews like this are always more fun than watching reviews about exotic cars.
This ^
My parents had one when I was pretty young. The transmission blew at like 60k miles but wow does this bring back memories..
My Mom has an 07 she got brand new in 2006. Still runs and rides like it’s new. Seriously, Honda’s are bulletproof.
these cars never dies
Love the Honda Pilot
3 row SUVs, when ppl who needed a van decided that being trendy is more important, and they rather not have wide sliding doors , easy access to seats, vastly more space that is easy to arrange and clean, boot that does not require power lifting to fill etc etc.
No it was for the ppl that needed a van with 4wd lol
Neat to have a 2003 test drive in 2020! This is the OLD original Honda quality that we hope Honda can bring back one day. My 2004 does not look like a minivan nor have any of the start/stop/VCM crap. Simple and reliable is what is MIA in today's vehicles.
Freaking Mint!
Finally a worker that doesnt slam everything or rough house these cars. He needs to be in another line of work.
I learned to drive on one of these :)
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 had a 03 with 245,000 miles and put new shocks and struts in it and it was so fun on backroads in Wisconsin. Could keep up with sports cars.
Omg thank you, I have an 03 and I was a bit surprised at the sloppy feeling steering after going from an 02 CR-V, but I seriously love how comfortable my Pilot is, I had to get a console cover because my elbow got super sore after driving a couple hours but whatevs!
The 5-speed automatic probably makes it slow too because of that wide gearing, but as with all Honda engines, it's nice to rev them out a lot for them to go anywhere :) And just hearing that iconic J-series V6 is a blessing.
@@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan it definitely slows them down. With a 6 speed it would definitely shred. But feel is a different story and these powertrains (despite the long gearing and slow outright acceleration) feel incredibly strong and peppy in normal driving and super responsive. I almost prefer driving this pilot over my family’s 2017 highlander for this reason
So much more practical design back then.❤
That SUV still looks nice at the external part.
Do an element next🤘 really enjoy the videos of older cars like this. Hope to see more in the future
We have a EX-L with 182k miles runs and drives great we love it, paid 4K for it best one Ive seen, this one is in better shape mine needs a headliner and some paint correcting
Wow this thing is so much quieter than my dad's 2009 corolla.
Great
@Winding Road Magazine, where did you get that car from?
I have an 08 EX-L. It may not be the quickest car I've owned but it sure as hell is the best sounding.
I love the 1st gear whine the j35 has
Jeez I miss my 2005 Honda Pilot EX-L. Nothing feels like that Pilot did. It was back when Honda's had character and rack & pinion steering with great feel. It handled so well for its size.
she still got VTEC, true Honda soul!!
I wish I had perfect mirror placement like this guy
complete with 2003 weather tec floor mats.
lol
It's clean ready for a road trip!
Honda Pilot is the best SUV you can buy.I.have a 2004 Honda Pilot. It has over 253,000 miles. I change the oil every 3000 miles. The only serious problem I've had was not changing the transmission fluid regularly. It started slipping at 227,000 miles and I had to have it rebuilt. Since the rebuilt it been running great.
I love this car, I'm sad that it has never been sold in Brazil :(
Is it just me when I say the interior cabin noise legit sounds like an airplane taking off. Guss that's why it's called the Pilot.
Love the looks of 1st gen Pilots, sober design.
nice
Nice
This car does not die.
Hey man! How tall are you? Just to check how comfortable is for tall people in the back
Never in a million years would I enjoy someone make a video POV driving a 2003 Honda Pilot
Do you mind doing a 2005 honda pilot video some day?
Him being in the back seat showing us everything is like a toddler touching everything they’re not supposed to lol. But great video though! 😁
I miss that old Honda transmission whine
My 05 Pilot with 211k does that noise...i thought something was wrong with the transmission but apparently from what ive been told with people who have experience with them that its a normal noise that most of them do.
@@W0RLDSSMALLESTVI0LIN yup. Not until 06-07. The whine was there up until 05
Great sound for a family truck 10:40
I like the gear shifter.
I wish i had a honda pilot like that
Is it for sale or jus review
can you do a 1999-2004 Acura 3.5RL please?
How. Is. This. So. Clean. 😮
That stereo is a robot gnome.
plzzz give it full race
Next you should do the 06 one
I drive a 2007 Pilot EXL 3.5 v6
Honda Accord Guy 05 no u don’t your only 15/16
ThatJeepGrandCherokeeGuy07 yes I do in my state you can drive at 15
Honda Accord Guy 05 do a review then
ThatJeepGrandCherokeeGuy07 I don’t want my car on the internet I don’t do personal car videos
It honestly surprised me when I learnt this thing has VTEC
Pilot and CRV runs forever!!
These things are so zippy for some reason.
They have a 3.5L V6 with...
VTEC!!! YAYYY!!
do the 2020 pilot black edition
wow 3rd row seat that has surprisingly decent amount of leg room for a compact suv? Yeah they don't make em like they used to.
Can do a 2020 Honda Pilot
i have 05 realy have een through alot ith it like it has not straight back tires we have a negative angle tire lol
Auto muy cómodo buen confor es muy bueno para la familia
let’s do an old odyssey (05-10)
7:47 VTEC
can you plese do a 2007 honda ridgeline soon,
How many miles on this bad boy? Looks well cared for...
Looks like 242,000 miles. The oil change sticker on the top left of the windshield.
We still have ours. Still runs right at 290k miles.
Could you do the 2007 model of this car please??
It got a cassette deck nice
You could test drive a 2020 honda pilot exl
Actually also the interior
Lol I love mine it’s nicer than a lot of new cars in terms of ride quality.
I loved the older Honda horns. They sounded uniquely Japanese. Outside of the CR-V, they all sound like American cars.
