2000 Honda Passport Review
Fuel Economy
16 mpg
Summary
What Edmunds.com says
There are some good midsize SUVs available. This is not one of them.
Pros
Rugged good looks, roomy rear seat, Honda dealers will give one away if you push hard enough.
Cons
Lousy ride quality, suspension not capable of serious boulder bashing, front seats offer all the support and comfort of a lawn chair.
What's New for 2000
The Passport receives new front and rear fascias, a modified grille, redesigned front combination lamps and a host of fresh features for a new top-of-the-line EX-L trim level.

Review
Bought my Passport used with a full warranty, 2 years old and 13K miles on it for 7,000 off list! It has problems now 7 years later, but what's new about that? It has had for several years a bad sensor in the gas tank so fuel gauge does not work. Costs $350 at the dealer to get it fixed so never fixed it! Same sensor also makes the check engine light stay on. One problem, cost $1400 to fix. Bad wiring from the factory got installed in some of these vehicles and insulation came off, so had to have entire wiring harness dealer replaced. That was the ONLY problem. Never has let me down..always starts and runs. Normal maintenance. Strong engine and transmission. Good air conditioning!
Favorite Features
Fit and finish, tight body, strong engine, I like interior cloth bucket seats, moon roof, roof luggage rack. It will tow a loaded trailer well with proper hitch and using Power mode, which keeps it out of overdrive.
Suggested Improvements
Rougher than average ride, but solid feel, 16 mpg typical. This is not a CR- V and should not be compared to one. The CR-V is a tin can compared to the Passport.
Very good vehicle

I have had this vehicle for 5 mos now and I've never been unhappy with it smooth ride, gas mileage average,comfortable driving, everything conveniently placed to reach, worth the used vehicle price, affordable.
Favorite Features
Seats, seat belts, vents in reachable place, alarm system, comfortable ride and driving.
Suggested Improvements
Improve increased gas mileage on these types of models since they travel so well they should have a more economical advantage, this would make an even more attractive asset to buyers
Better than expected even for a 2WD

The ride is hard but that's because it's based on a truck platform from Isuzu, not a civic from Honda. If you want a decent cheap SUV get one of these, but get it checked out first. If you want a cushy ride, get a CR-V or RAV-4 or some other CarUV. If you want great gas mileage, buy a civic hybrid.
Favorite Features
Exterior design still looks good after so many years. No major blind spots to contend with, unlike FJ Cruiser
Suggested Improvements
Honda have always needed to get real horns. Mine sounds like someone is using a goose for a set of bagpipes. It's embarrassing.

Purchased SUV from dealer with warranty in 08/07. Engine died 01/08 with 74,000 miles. Now I find out why this SUV is no longer made. Engine eats oil, sounds like truck and terrible gas mileage.

Roomy

Do not mix, ever since they changed the gas to having ethanol in it my Honda dies on me and stalls like crazy and I read in the owners manual that it says not to run methanol or ethanol in it otherwise it will have mechanical malfunctions. I do not recommend getting this vehicle since they are changing the gas to having ethanol in the gas. But all around besides that problem I like it a lot but with all the problems I think I am gonna get rid of it. Do not buy it!
Favorite Features
very roomy, moon roof a plus, and back hatch opens from the side and not up
Suggested Improvements
Take ethanol out of gasoline!
