Simply the best.

Simply the best. Getting it from Hondaa of Lincoln is pea e of mind. Rhe very good thing is that a got a ASSUTANXE contract for 8 years. The car will be repaired o ly by the Honda certified mechanics, as well as for oil change. This car is the best for all seasons, t drives nicelly in winter and it has more safety options.

Bought an off lease 2021 Passport EX-L with 29000 on the

Bought an off lease 2021 Passport EX-L with 29000 on the dial for my wife, we have researched vehicles of 6 months and test drove many. The very first mile in the passport and we both knew it was the perfect choice. While the Highlander, the CX-9 and Pilot were roomier my wife didn't like the extra size (personal choice) and didn't need the 3rd row. The CR-V was kind of ugly and was smaller but the passport was just right,. I don't like the push button shift and it can be listed as my only complaint. Slightly stiff ride but comfortable. Roomy and simple interior. 6 months in and my wife still comments on how she loves her car. If you do not need a 3rd row seat the Passport offers plenty of room and comfort while maintaining a size profile that is not intimidating in the parking lot. To say she's satisfied is an understatement.

A good reliable car

With my Passport I got what I was looking for: Power, performance, cargo space, adécuate confort for passengers, good stereo with HD radio and capable to play my FLAC music files, not so expensive and an reliable car for retirement, meaning it will be my last buy. It is true the interior is not so fancy like other cars, but the most important is that I feel secure, confortable and ultimate enjoy driving my passport, love it.

a black hole.

Honda passport interiors are horrible. theyve gone way down hill. noisy cabin and lots of hard cheap plastic. you want black you got it. black interior means all black from the carpet to the headliner. a few silver trim pcs here and there but overall truly depressing. even a santa fe w black seats is much better w lighter pillars and headliner. annoying touchscreen and gearshift. spongy brakes and poor ride, steering and handling. the 20" wheels on a midsize suv dont help either. its got the v6 and smooth power train, lots of space but thats it. not much value and used is way over priced.

Some problems with 2019 Passport

I bought a used 2019 and have had it in the shop 3 times. Twice for radio issues and ended up with a new amplifier. Thank God I bought an extended warranty! Today a communication problem between the power train module and the transmission module left me stranded at a light!! 3rd time in - getting a software update that hopefully will fix the problem. This Honda owner is not particularly happy right now.

Passport is just right

Just right ! We pretty much drove every single mid size to large SUV. And the passport delivered. The styling looks awesome and it also gives a lot of space. We have 2 large dogs and they have a good amount of room when traveling. We also considered the VW Atlas but went with Honda for it’s proven reliability. Also considered the Pilot but didn’t like the styling as much and it didn’t fit in our garage very well. For the Passport - The only thing I’d change is the material around the drink holder - it’s a shiny and seems to always be dirty. Prior to this car I had a 2019 GMC Terrain which I had to get rid of due to an issue with the automatic stop and then not starting again. I would definitely recommend the Passport!!

Spacious 2 row from Honda

I wanted something larger than our CRV but not a 3 row. I choose the passport because of the open cabin being very spacious, strong v6 engine and Vtech sings past 5000 RPM, wow it’s sweet. I got the touring model in white. The car is very nice and comfortable large back seat space and cargo area and great lift over height. The cons are the collision mitigation braking system and scared me at least once or twice a week . I literally said “brake !” And hit the brakes at 45 mph cause a puddle in the road and taking a curb with oncoming traffic. Definitely needs updates. Also the transmission is clunky when warming up. I love the car and it’s been great otherwise

Awesome V6 Engine, Boss SUV

We bought a 2021 Honda Passport Touring (FWD) in May 2021 with awesome Costco membership discount close to 10% off MSRP! ***Highlights that I love about 2021 Honda Passport*** 1. Awesome V6 engine, that's responsive and quick at 6.2 seconds for 0-60 mph. Great visibility for driving. 2. Handles the curves at high speeds of 75 mph like a champ. Very intuitive steering. Ride quality is acceptable with big 20 inch all season tires. I just drove to Lake Tahoe from Bay Area and my Passport left other competition such as Subaru Outback, Jeep Cherokee, Toyota Highlander, Lexus, Ford Explorer etc. in the dust. It really handles curves with supreme stability like a BOSS. Something my old CRV (that I still love) could also not do. 3. My family is really happy in passengers seats! Roomy and bright. Air controls for back seats too. My little toddler loves it and falls asleep easily :) 4. For Touring, we get Acoustic Glass throughout the car that helps very well with low decibel road noise (~68-69 decibels) 5. Safety is the best part! Blindspot Detection, Lane Departure Alert (with accurate steering correction), Rear Camera Alert, Auto Braking System and Adaptive Cruise Control all SUPER LEGIT. This is the best aspect of Honda Passport in addition to the space, which I talk about below. 6. AMAZING cargo space. 50 cubic feet with rear seats up, and a whopping 100 cubic feet with rear seats down. I was able to fit in 4 large Persian Rugs and 1 Big Box last week for donation with no problem (and it still had more space!!!) 7. Infotainment and Clusters are OK. Nothing bad; I would say it's just too simple yet practical. The dashboard area is monochromic, so may be bland, but nothing bad! 8. Love the aggressive looks with immense height and respectable ground clearance close to 8 inches. 9. Love the superb 510 watt sound system in Touring! ***Lowlights*** 1. Infotainment can be more seamless and attractive such as the ones in new Kia/Hyundai 2. There are buttons instead of gear stick, so sometimes after you put it in Parking "P" mode, the car has subtle swivel movement (few inches) for a couple seconds after you put in Park and release the brake. But this happens in Pilots and Odysseys too. It is a quirk that annoys me.

Love this car!

Lots of cargo space, leg room and added features that didn't break the bank. Highly recommend this vehicle. First Honda I've ever owned! Definitely a keeper!

The Passport Sport

I am absolutely in love with my passport. The sport model is perfect with out trying to be more than I need it's great. I feel so safe driving in the rain and even in the dirt.. it's so fun to drive and super comfy. I love my screen I always put it in clock mode and always with the galaxy background it looks amazing. It's so spacious. I can't think of. Thing I don't love about it. Thank you honda 😍
