We have been driving a Lexus NX 350 2022 for 3 years. It rides stiff and harsh, thanks to 20" run flat tires, that after 17,700 miles need replacement at around $2,000. REALLY? Add to that premium gas, which after 3 years hurts just as much as year 1. Even more. Add to that 4 "updates" to software, or "recalls," if you prefer. The shifter is especially difficult for our aging hands, and when you're in your 70s, that means a lot. I did my research, and I mean it. Enter the Honda Passport, "The Pilot on a Diet," as Motor Mouth says on You Tube. 1) The shifter is SOOOO nice: pushbuttons! 2) V6 engine! Are you kidding? It's quiet, powerful and torqued just right. 3) Regular gas! Man, oh man! 4) Roomy, airy, comfy. Not too big, either. A back seat we feel good about for our passengers, really comfy. 5) A ride that is compliant, yet confident. We got the TrailSport, which has 18" off road tires and a suspension tuned to handle bumps and holes. We live in the country, on a farm, 10 miles from a rural town, and honestly, that's kind of close to off roading. The Passport makes bumpy country roads feel much better, and we are confident the suspension and alignment can handle them, unlike our previous SUVs that were being re-aligned all the time. 6) Interior: we LIKE the minimalist, clean look with the moderately sized info screen smoothly integrated into the dash. We are not fans of having giant pizza boxes jutting out of the dash, and when we drive, we like to drive, not watch television. Maybe that's not you, though. 7) Tech: Honda does the simple things so intelligently. You'll appreciate that after a while. Buttons, etc. all make sense and are easy. The Apple Car Play joins the team easily, and that's great for nav. The radio is super easy to use and navigate. 7) Reliability: Hey, it's a Honda. Try and beat that for confidence in your name brand, because you can't. Everything is made to last, and did I say V6? Compare that to a turbo 4 after 100K miles and we'll talk again. 8) WILDCARD: My wife NEVER drove our Lexus, period, 3 years after her birthday present that it was, because the shifter was so hard on her hands, scary, and the ride was so jumpy. SHE DROVE THE PASSPORT HOME! And I smiled and smiled. It was so much fun.

2025 Honda Passport to Comfort

I’ve only had my new 2025 Passport for 3 weeks, BUT I’m very pleasantly surprised. Ride is very smooth and comfortable. I don’t feel the interior is pedestrian at all, as some have reviewed. The gas mileage was a little disappointing at first, but then I used the “ECO” button and gas mileage since has been amazing! On my 150 mile drive home from Delaware to Maryland I averaged 29 mpg!! Around my home town 22-23 mpg. This is almost better than the 2016 Toyota RAV4 I traded in. The SUV has more than enough interior space for most everything you would need. I know this is a very early review, about 450 miles, but I expect nothing but good things from this SUV.

I bought it for the 6 cylinder engine, but I find the ride rougher than my Tacoma, every bump is noticed, I thought the ride would be better. Is this because it has an off road tuned suspension?

We are 3.5 months into our 2025 Passport Trailsport edition. Did a ton of research before pulling the trigger on this. Pros: Smooth V6 engine, spacious comfortable cabin, great driving visibility, large trunk area. Cons: Awful infortainment. While I can tolerate a smaller (8") screen, the way the real estate on it is used, you lose 1/3 of the image due to the overly large on screen menu. Plus with bluetooth audio, the first word drops each time my phone navigation speaks up. First and only time I used Apple Carplay - it froze one hour in. The GPS does not have my home address although the home is 2 years old. The cabin is noisy at high speeds (75mph). This model supposedly has a quiet cabin and maybe my AT tires on the Trailsport trim adds road noise. Regardless, my 2015 Ford F-150 xlt has a more serene ride and a more useful infotainment. The main reason I purchased this is because they have ironed out the kinks, the V6 on this gen is tried and true plus the VCM can be disabled by an aftermarket device. None of these things are assured with the soon to be next gen.
