Car Forum / Honda Cars / December 2005Pilot with six passengers
Today, for the first time, I had six adults and a bunch of luggage in our 2005 Pilot. I noticed no handling problems or lack of power. This is a great vehicle..!  SignatureLarry J. - Remove spamtrap in ALLCAPS to e-mail "I've come here to enjoy nature. Don't talk to me about the environment!" - 'Denny Crane' Thats good. I feel the same way. I just got a 2005 pilot Saturday after Thanksgiving. Most Ive had riding is 5. I can even fit in the 3rd row seating with head-room to spare!! Welcome to the club. I've had my Pilot Just under 2 years. Sun. will make 2 years exactly. I've carried up to 8 folks, but usually 4 and maybe a bunch of astro gear. > Today, for the first time, I had six adults and a bunch of luggage in > our 2005 Pilot. > > I noticed no handling problems or lack of power. > > This is a great vehicle..! I've drove a family friend's Pilot not too long ago, didn't feel bad at all powerwise. http://www.carforums.net/ Auto Forums > Today, for the first time, I had six adults and a bunch of luggage in > our 2005 Pilot. > > I noticed no handling problems or lack of power. > > This is a great vehicle..! We have an 03 AWD with right at 40k miles. It has been an extremely good vehicle in every respect with absolutely no problems and plenty of power. I replaced the OEM Bridgestones at 35k miles with the Bridgestone Alenza which improved handling and lessened road noise. I understand the newer models have more power over the 240 hp the 03 has, but require premium. Quote: From: twaugh5@cox.net (TWW) I understand the newer models have more power over the 240 hp the 03 has, but require premium. :Quote Well for '05 manual says 86 or higher normal conditions and premium for towing loads 3500# or more.

Did Honda change the design in the past two years? I tried the Pilot in summer of 2003, the third row is totally unacceptable... Did you ask the "adult" how he/she feel at the 3rd row? How long was the drive? I agree with the power and handling except for the 3rd row space. Maybe I should go back and check it out again. |
