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

Poor 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 2002

There are no significant changes to the Passport this year.

2002 Honda Passport LX 4WD 4dr SUV (3.2L 6cyl 4A)

Review

The engine oil consumption is a problem... every 2 & half months add or get complete oil change. THE BRAKES ARE A PAIN TO FIX & COSTLY ALONG WITH THE DRIVE BELT. THE CD PLAYER EATS CDs... the fuse system is in a aggravatingly bad location to work on. The spare/spare crane are a pain in the neck.

Favorite Features

Moon roof, 4x4, fog lights, cruise control leather, a/c

Suggested Improvements

All CARs/SUVs need more cup holders, better sound system, real rear spoiler added to roof rack, real dual exhaust. Better headlight/fog light system & a more powerful a/c.

Review

Except for substantial wind noise, and some body integrity issues, this has been a fairly reliable vehicle. I just got new tires and it has improved greatly. It runs great in the 4WD mode for heavy snow. The front seat seems to "fade" and needs adjusting fairly regularly. Gas mileage is average for a midsized SUV. Before I got new tires, it seemed to have several rattles, but this is improved with new rubber. I would recommend replacing the tires before you need to. There is plenty of room in the back seat, and lots of storage when rear seats are folded down. I intend to keep it til it dies, much to the chagrin of the mechanics. They don't like to work on them.

Favorite Features

Lots of storage space in rear. Comfortable rear seating.

Suggested Improvements

Since this is a discontinued model, no suggestions offered.

Review

Just recently purchased this Vehicle. The exterior/ interior looks great. The ride is smooth, handles well. I have owned several Hondas and loved them. I wanted a mid size SUV and CRV EX 4AWD seemed like the right choice.

Favorite Features

Roomy, sun roof, multi CD changer, roof rack, It just looks good!

Suggested Improvements

Add V6 option, Better tires, Power driver seat, on EX models add leather as a standard option
