Justin knows his Hondas. If I ever buy a car from your fine dealership, I'll definitely ask for Justin.
He sure does!
It's a lot more reliable than any Land Rover/Range Rover, and it costs a lot less to own and maintain.
Yes, thanks for your input!
Toyota trd 4runner is a better choice
@@seinundzeiten why?
@@seinundzeiten You wish! I owned a Toyota Tacoma once. It was constantly needing expensive repairs.
You can keep your unreliable-Toyotas. They're money pits.
Why would you compare anything with the ultimate POS like rover?!? You may as well compare it with yugo.
Ever since the Old Man Honda died (1999?), honda has been circling the drain in terms of quality and reliability. Adding its unwillingness deal with screw ups and the fact that it's made hell knows where in South America, it's no longer a viable choice. For about the same money, you can get a real MADE IN JAPAN beast - Toyota 4Runner.
Feel free to ignore.
I like the passport look. It looks sport type and aggressive. Also in my opinion if the took so ideas of the interior layout from the new accord like the display and steering wheel than it would look amazing.
Who else agrees?
Thank you for the great review. It was very thorough. I’m glad Honda brought the Passport back as the Pilot was too big for me (kids are grown) and my CRV, is kinda small.
Thank you Janeen, and thanks for watching! We hope you get your hands on one soon!
Excellent video Justin nice footage of the Passport in action on the road.
Thanks Torry!
The perfect Honda!
It sure is!
Tested a base 2wd passport a few months ago. Good oomph for a 6. Went to look at a RAV4 adventure since you have to step up a trim level for AWD and that button shift gave me the slot machine mentality. But when I read that fwd can tow up 3500 and Awd can tow up to 5000 lbs. I’m seriously looking at the passport again.
Very nice video you did a great job and the camera and audio work were also very nice. Two small comments and I also have a Passport Elite. It is tri-zone, not dual zone for climate control and with the Elite you can control it from either the front or second row seating area. I thought the S in the DS mode switch was also Sport but according to the manual the S stands for Sequential and as you rightfully stated controls the behavior of the paddle shifters. The sound system was a pleasant surprise for me, really great sound. Again thanks for making this good video.
I love how u did the comparison between both models, I purchased the 2019 Pilot Elite Diamond white pearl in August of 2018 from Plaza Honda and I ❤️ it so much I would not trade it I also already put 7,000 miles that’s how much I enjoy driving my Pilot. My wife just purchased the very first new 2019 Passport Elite Diamond White Pearl from Plaza Honda in Bk, NY on 02/04 release date from our experience we both like the passport as a better choice if u don’t need the 3rd row seat ...
Thanks for your input Miguel! We're happy to hear you love your Pilot, and congrats on the new Passport! Both are definitely great choices depending on your needs!
I bought one in October. I love it. There's nothing to fault on it.
We're glad you like it as much as we do, Phil!
Looks awesome and Honda’s are great vehicles this is my favorite out of the Honda line up .
Excellent! Showed me features that applied to many models including Odyssey!!!
Awesome Michael! Thanks for watching, we're glad we could help
I liked the video only thing you missed is its a tri zone climate control
Thanks, Tony!
Very nice detailed review on the Honda Passport👍 , i just have two questions , are the outside mirrors heated and does the Elite model come with interior mood lighting🤔...Thanks
Thank you! Yes, the outside mirrors are heated on EX-L, Touring and Elite. White ambient LED lighting is standard on Touring and Elite.
@@Smailhondavillage Thank you for the info👍 , i appreciate it , wasn't quite sure.
@@flatrockufo No problem, always happy to help!
Liked the review but you missed the sound which is probably premium, just like to know by whom?
Yes it has the 550-Watt Premium Audio System with 10 Speakers
LIKE honda passport very much! But it's only for south american market, how can I buy it in China?
Hi Justin. I'm wondering, since not in your area but would come visit if I did, about a few things. I haul a trailer with my vehicles and want to know how do you take it out of OD? Do you press the D/S button once and that will put it in Gear 8 (or is it using the paddle shifters to lower it from Gear 9 to Gear 8?) No one else I've talked to can answer this one: I called Sirius and they told me the following-I'd have to change the module (in the radio) to get the satellite radio to be just Sirius (with the 12-digit code like I currently have in my Ford vehicle) so I can get some of the channels I'm subscribed to vs. the Sirius XM (8-digit alpha numeric code in the Honda Passport) and I wouldn't get some of the channels I'm subscribed to unless I go up in the subscription package and pay more money each year. Any help? Thank you!
There really isn't an overdrive, so to be able to control the speed of the vehicle and get more control over the gears, you put the vehicle into Sport mode, which will allow you to control shifting with the paddle shifters.
As far as Sirius, it sounds like you could possibly just use the Sirius app on your phone and play it over Bluetooth, although I do not have a specific answer for you. It also depends on the trim, because the Sport trim doesn't have the satellite radio anyway.
Sorry we're not more sure on the Sirius thing, but hopefully this helps answer your questions!
*Will this be available in hybrid model just like the 2020 cr-v?*
Hi Daniel! As of right now, not yet. Anything is possible though so that could change in the future!
If you’re stopped and a animal or object travels under the rear of the vehicle does the hatch open? Does the foot activation work with the vehicle parked and running?
Only if the animal has the key fob in his pocket
It only opens with the key fob, and if the vehicle is in drive, the hatch won't open.
Smail Honda Just wondering, thank you.👍🏻
Key fob gotta be like a foot away from the damn thing meaning you gotta have that fob on you and next to the ass of the vehicle
Trying to choose between the Passport and Grand Cherokee
How many old people still looking for the gear shifter months later
Sad..we don't get here in Asia 🤔
The start/Stop feature is a deal breaker for me. I can't see myself having to disengage it every time I start the car.
Thanks for watching! It's actually really quick and easy to turn off, literally just a button! But if you do forget to disengage, luckily it's barely noticeable!
Lg springs it’s inevitable all auto makers are going that route, Mercedes, bmw, etc
@@sonar0085 Subaru, hyundai
Lg springs
I don’t think you have to disengage it every time you start the car.I have that feature on my BMW and I just hit the button and it stays off all the time.I would think it would be the same on the Honda.
@@travelinben1966 it's not the same for every car. Subaru makes you turn it off every time
Can anyone tell me if the 9 Speed Tranny that's in the Passport is a regular Old Fashion Automatic and not the CVT?.
Hi Jim, thanks for watching. That's correct, the Passport has the 9-Speed Automatic Transmission with Shift-By-Wire (SBW)
the black plastic across front grill of the Passport ruins its looks for me along with the rear tail lights that resemble a FORDs SUV
Thanks for your input, Enrique!
The only thing missing was an upgraded interior. I wished they could change it. Also, I hated the van style armrest. Why couldn't they made it like a car with higher console arm rest?
Thanks for your input, Tony!
Are this car reliable
Love it I need a loan lol
Lol! Thanks for watching!
What was that about a funnel for the gas?
It's for when you fill with a gas can
SMAIL HONDA PASSPORT
Just test drive one and also the telluride
Telluride was better in every area
Until the engine blows up like every other Hyundai or Kia after 60k miles & the resale value on them as well is in the toilet after 2 years
ksbbking agree about the value
But not about the engine blowing up
Have lots of friends who have kias and Hyundai who’ve easily reached 300k km
😴Another crossover.How about building a direct challenger to the Wrangler Honda!
Try to get 1 inch from the rear car.
This vehicle is not much more than a shortened Honda Pilot, nothing special.
The price is special. Especially stupidly high. 😂
