2020 Honda Passport EX-L 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

Leased this SUV about a month ago. If you don’t want to spend an arm and a leg, get the EX-L with AWD. Great acceleration, ton of room for people and cargo. Leather seats are very good and the sound system is decent. With Apple Car play and Android Auto you won’t miss the navigation which Waze and Maps usually does a better job with anyway. With Car Play I just do a ‘Hey Siri’ and …

2020 Honda Passport Touring 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

I have owned two Pilots and most recently the CRV. CRV was a fine SUV, but I missed having a higher seating position and wanted more ground clearance and more back storage. Passport delivers for all three and handles very well. The safety features could use a little more refinement, but it is great to have them standard. Only feature I don't like is the engine shut off when you are …

2020 Honda Passport Elite 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

Having just purchased a Honda Passport I have had nothing but problems with the infotainment system. The screen goes completely blank and the driver display goes completely black so you have no idea what is going on. It happens with no warnings. Sometimes the unit will reset itself and then go black again. This is not an item the dealer can fix. An Engineer from Honda has to come to the …

Almost perfect but not quite

2020 Honda Passport Touring 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

I have owned this car for 6 months and have driven 5k miles, I love everything about it except for.. Cons 1. The interior Temp gauge has to be off, in my other 2 cars I kept it at 71 and it was perfect (I keep it 71 in my house too), in this car I have to keep it at 67. In a normal sunny day if I put it at 71 the air shuts down and I get hot, not a huge deal, but for what I paid, I …
