"Make sure you get a year model after 1999. The 2000 and newer models are well built and very little problems. There is no reason why you cannot get at least 200k miles on these with just little normal maintenance and taken care of. The check engine light is related to the fuel sending unit and should be recalled soon if Honda would like to protect its good name. Otherwise many years of pleasant driving with this one."

"We've owned the Passport new since 2001. In retrospect we should have purchased the 4wd model. Pricing was good as Honda was looking to clear inventory ahead of the Pilot launch. Other than tendency to ping and a soft suspension design it's been a good utilitarian vehicle that we have had few problems with. Ride/handling: The suspension is soft and under dampened from the factory. Moderate upgrades to the shocks are warranted when needed. Suspension tends to bottom even on moderate bumps. Body lean is excessive compared to equivalent full frame SUV's of the same vintage. Drivetrain: Honda/Isuzu have had problems with intake manifold leaks and pinging related to EGR and computer programming. Our vehicle has had the computer re-flashed and we use seafoam to clean the intake on a periodic basis. The vehicle still pings periodically."

"The Passport looks fine. Its interior is spacious and comfortable. So physically, it's rather ideal. But for handling and performance, it's terrible. The ride is bumpy, the acceleration is slow, and the turns are uncomforting. Definitely a good car to pick up groceries or drive around a dirt road, but not recommended for any kind of performance driving."

"I loved my Passport for the first year, however after that the trans light and cruise light would flash on and off while driving. This was supposed to be a Honda certified used vehicle and functioning properly. After 6 months of this and my car starting to die at stop lights the Honda dealership cannot find the problem or duplicate it while in their service. It has gone in for service at least 4 times in the last six months and they still cannot find out what's wrong. I have paid several hundreds of dollars for them to not fix what has become a safety hazard for me driving with my children in the back seat! I guess it will take me getting rear-ended and a lawsuit before I can get some satisfaction from Honda."
