After reading the reviews, I decided to test drive the new Honda Passport. My first visual impression was good. The stance and overall look was better than I had expected. The reworked grill, improved ground clearance and wheel design work well together. And the shortened length also give it a sportier look as well. The test drive was just as good. Lots of interior room, great visibility behind the wheel, comfortable ride. The steering, braking and acceleration were all up to par. Using the sport option on the shift button works flawlessly, fast and smooth, with a slight growl while stepping on the gas petal. It was fun! I will be buying a passport in May, and plan on visiting the high sierras more often for fishing and off road trips. I have been driving Honda’s for over 20 years now, and I’m looking forward to this new model. For what it’s worth, that’s my take. Way to go Honda!

Fixes everything we didn’t like about our Forester

We had a ‘17 Forester that we wanted to love, really, but just never made peace with the awful CVT, limited towing capacity, and uncomfortable front seats. The Passport addresses these issues and more. We have put about 2,500 miles on our Passport Elite and absolutely love it. The space, the power, the smoothness...it’s perfect for us. We tow a small trailer (1500#) that really taxed the Forester, but the Passport barely notices. Fuel economy while towing has been a pleasant surprise, too, as I expected to take more of a hit...we averaged 22mpg towing a trailer with a 16 foot canoe tied to the rack up top. That’s only 2mpg less than we were averaging with the Forester, but the difference in reserve capacity is immense. I also appreciate the transmission’s ability to downshift and hold lower gears when towing and driving in the mountains...it’s really nice to either let sport mode hold the gears or use the paddle shifters to maintain speed downhill. One complaint I have is the active safety — it’s too sensitive and prone to false alarms, but it’s not a deal breaker (and can be turned off). Otherwise, we are loving the purchase! Update at 11,000 miles: My initial review still holds...we love this truck (car?) and have put over 11,000 miles on it in just 7 months...and it’s never driven Monday thru Friday because I have an EV to commute in, so these are all weekend/trip miles. A significant portion of the miles so far have been towing our trailer and the Passport continues to impress. Tows wonderfully and the gas mileage has been really good (20+) when loaded. I wish the wheels were 18” with a higher profile sidewall...the 20s worry me off road (maybe that’s just psychological), but the 20s generally ride fine and the standard tires are quiet and capable. Snow traction has been great - AWD and all season tires have been unstoppable in light snow (less than 12”). The only real negatives are related to the safety systems - the amount of false alarms with the forward collision mitigation system and lane departure system are annoying. The adaptive cruise Is not very refined - taking too long to resume speed and braking too aggressively at the last minute. Otherwise, we love our Passport!

Bought a 2019 Passport Touring. When it was delivered, it had the wrong interior door panel on the front passenger side, and two dents in the hood. The dealership has been trying to fix it, but American Honda will NOT let them order the correct part for the door or the hood. What kind of service is this?! All-in I'm paying approx $70,000 CAD for this vehicle and they've yet to deliver the entire vehicle and it's now July 2020!!!!
