Review

Great mid-sized SUV. Bigger than the Liberty, more cargo space than the Mercedes or BMW. This is a REAL truck, built on a truck frame by a truck manufacturer (Isuzu), so if you're looking for a feather soft ride, pass this one by and be prepared to spend some more cash too. We didn't want to go the mini-van route and we wanted 4WD, so this is what we chose. If you're a mid-sized pick-up truck guy or gal and find yourself in the "family way", don't want to give up the feel of your 4wd pickup, but don't have the cash for a new crew-cab - this is the way to go.

Favorite Features

Good Looks, good manoverability, excellent back seat room, dependable, drives through deep snow, mud, whaterever is thrown at it.

Suggested Improvements

This is no longer being licensed by Honda, but if I were to improve anything, I'd try to smooth out the ride a bit. Highway mileage is okay, but it burns alot around town.

Review

After moving to Denver CO we purchased our first SUV. With nearly 20k miles of varying duties, our 01 Passport has suited us extremely well. The cabin is well laid out and the 4wd is a snap to use. It has handled 4wd in the snow to our favorite ski areas and off road in the mountains getting us to to places only accessable by 4wd. The large cargo area and easy folding rear seats been extremely useful. Steering and braking is predicatble and what we would expect for an SUV based on a truck frame.

Favorite Features

Looks great. Easy to use and capable 4wd. Versatile cargo room. Good power from the V6 (especially in "sport" mode). Interior layout. Sunroof. Full size spare!

Suggested Improvements

Front seats would benefit with more support (lower back and laterally) for better long distance as well as off- road comfort. There should be a CD player in lieu of cassette player! Would prefer spare be rear mounted vs. the underside placement.
