@@justchillin6117 funny story. I got a 2019 Passport Sport then traded it in for a 2020 Passport EXL to get more features. I definitely love the vehicle and have been able to get good deals, no problems! Definitely look at EXL trim though, best value for money in my opinion
@@reedcampbell5325 yes I want the exl. My wife just got that trim n Pilot. I’m thinking bout the Ridgeline also but probably get better deal on passport
Drove my Passport from Ontario Canada to Florida 2 weeks ago. It was fully loaded for my 5 month stay and it performed flawlessly. The lane mitigation becomes a pain with the wheels vibrating so I disarmed it and some of the other safety items can become a nuisance so you can fiddle around with them but this is a great SUV. Glad I bought it.
I like the passport look more. It looks more 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?
Passport starts with sport trim not LX and that’s why passport starting price is more than Pilot. If you compare same trim levels, Pilot has a higher price tag.
Finally, it's been pointed out how in-built sat nav is all but obsolete!!!! since everyone has a smartphone. Even in 2016 when I worked as a car salesperson for a short while, I heard talk about manufacturers doing away with it, and we were even told to overcome customers' objections to the car not having it by saying, "you've got a smartphone...?" Smart phones are light years ahead of car sat navs.
@@360.Tapestry the 2 main reasons I haven't bought one yet are 1) no birdseye parking camera 2) the wheels look disproportionately small. I really love everything else about it
@@leyenda6149 i think it's great overall package, too - despite the lack of panoramic moonroof. i just can't justify the price tag to myself when my rav4 v6 awd does everything i need confidently. it would just be an upgrade in creature comfort, which isn't as fulfilling to me as watching an investment account go up, then down, then up a lot, then down a little, then up again lol
It's the "Honda Style". I guess it's easier for the designers to come up with something. I noticed the trend when the new Accord came out. I wasn't a big fan of the "bigger Civic" look.
The Active Cruise Control will cut out at 20mph or under. At that speed, you should be paying attention. But the Braking Mitigation will kick in if you dont stop soon enough.
The 1.5-T4-255 hp would work right ? Save around 100lbs of weight, and better gas mileage. I mean just make it one motor option. 15 hp less, and 30 more torque. Its based off the accord anyway right.
I have a 21 elite awd. The adaptive cruise control works great now. I wish I could have the option of 18 inch rims for beefier tires. Instead of having to pay twice for rims and tires to get what I want.
This was a fantastic review!! Right on Micah!! Yes I want one but the first thing I would do is put some Ridgeline 18" wheels and tires on and add a transmission cooler. The reality is I want a daily driver that I can still navigate some mellow gravel roads and go camping. Nothing wild. just old school throw a tent in the back and go. I like your review style!! SUBSCRIBED and a like!!
I don’t think onboard navigation is unnecessary........if you are somewhere without cell signal, your phone nav is useless. There are still big areas without cell signal believe it or not. I drive through 2 big dead zones on my way to work, and I live on outskirts of Louisville.
Not sure why someone would buy a passport tbh. The CR-V gets 10MPG higher with better style and value. The Pilot has a 3rd row of seats and available panoramic moonroof. And if you really want a 2-row midsize suv, the Grand Cherokee, Chevrolet Blazer, & Ford Edge are unbeatable.
my stereo has been a problem from the start. it takes 2 minutes to load car play, if it does load or you have to shut your car off to reset really disappointed this was my 4th Honda not sure about a 5th
Yep, in my 3 month old, 2WD Touring, it felt "glitchy" at times. Kinda settled down now. But on Passport Forum, some have had bad fails. Hoping mine does well in time. Fun ride, I'm enjoying it. I came out of a '15 Highlander. peace, e.
Maravilloso Kelley. Tus vídeos me encantan. Mi sueño ha sido siempre tener el Toyota 4Runner Limited. Para mí es el mejor de todos; es una nave como el Enterprise y tú eres el capitán Kirk. Un abrazo muy grande desde Colombia. ¡GRACIAS KELLEY!.
I absolutely love my Passport! I take it offroading and camping. It handles the abuse like a champ! Well, it's not quite the same Passport...mine is a 1999, a bit more suited for harder trails
run run far away, My 2014 forester has been worse car in 20 yrs for me, and CRV trans sucks, motor gaskets leaked already as is the norm with Subaru.... I will NEVER buy another Subaru POS
I lost my shit on that existential crisis joke. 10/10 did not expect that from a car reviewer. I'll be buying this vehicle only due to the comedic associations I now have with it...
I wonder why Passport gets worse highway mileage than Pilot when they have the same engine and transmission plus Passport is actually lighter? It’s because of higher ground clearance?
@Jonathan On the surface, I fully agree with you (TLX V6 owner here). But this most recent version in the Passport handles much better from previous versions. Honda really has improved the darned thing. I also read somewhere that the new versions will typically start in second gear unless a heavy load is detected, reducing the number of shifts during everyday driving.
@@guitarsunplugged Yep, my last Honda's were '12 Ridgeline/'13 Crosstour, they did well. Hoping my 2WD Obs Blue Touring does as well with this trans. It was abit glichy at first but has settled down now. It's my cool bandwagon. I haul my bass gear and couple powered speakers to my gigs in it, plenty roomy. Very fun ride so far. peace, e.
"...The Blazer is the family vehicle that actually appeals to the whole family, and for that reason it upsets the Honda(Passport)on its home court." I think the Motor Trend staff was weeping when they wrote that!
@@user-oq3lv6lv7x That's exactly what I mean. I see that many have gone to adding a port injector in addition to the GDI system to fix that issue.

And the Honda Jet
Yeah and they are already ready to go on an Oddysey 😂😉
@@xionskyz654 actually they do make a jet 😊 not a car an acutual plane

If you drive this into a cross boarder shipping port you’d have your passport in a passport at a passing port.

I like this guy. Made me smile. Good review & entertaning. His humor adds a great touch. Well done.
The rear end has that ford explore look.
They need Honda sensing 2.0 to make the vehicle better. Great video though
Wait, Micah makes the music too? In what time does he fit that in with the soul-crushing weight of existence?
"one fewer row of seats"
Good for Micah for using correct grammar. Most people would say "one less row of seats"
So, the Pilot would have one greater row of seats, then?
Stop it. Either way is more than acceptable.
If I drive across into Mexico will the border guards check my Passport ?
Nah i don't think they care about your Passport. If you want to come back to the USA though, there going to be checking your Passport real good. lol
I think you and the border guards will eventually come to an Accord.

Good job Honda on bringing a new 4 year old Honda to the market
Lmao:
Why no birdseye parking camera? Hoping 2020 model will have it
My boi terry almost getting ran over by KBB 😂
Can you really get used to that push-button shifter? I don't like it, but I've never had to get used to it.
Crushing indeed Micah. Crushing indeed.

Is this car just not selling? I have seen exactly 2 on the road since it came back in '19

lol at him almost hitting that dude @1:49 and the cameraman just pans hard right to stare at a building
I love how you incorporate Korean things in your recent videos! Lol
I feel like they'll release an Acura version of the Passport. The Elite package Passport seems nearly at the Acura pricepoint
It’s similar to the RDX. The RDX really pushes what a compact SUV Is
It just seems like Honda didn't fully commit to off road capability with this Passport
Fangyi Deng
Impossible to have full off road capability on a unibody vehicle.
Oh look, there's that white van! Micah, you can't escape them here on KBB either!
I wish they made the styling more unique and distinctive.
Yea I agree - it's so much the Pilot - I jsut don't get it.
It's the "Honda Style". I guess it's easier for the designers to come up with something. I noticed the trend when the new Accord came out. I wasn't a big fan of the "bigger Civic" look.
At least the exterior is completely deferent than Pilot, it’s more of a off-road style SUV than a minivan style.
Howdy, great review as always!😸😻😸
Great timing! I was looking at getting a Passport!
Have one.. we love it
ron s It’s a rip-off
Seems like a con lol
I sat in one of these at the dealership nearby, and it's really nice.

Love the Passport! Fun review
The Active Cruise Control will cut out at 20mph or under. At that speed, you should be paying attention. But the Braking Mitigation will kick in if you dont stop soon enough.
My friend has a 2019 Honda CRV and said once coasting downhill the adaptive cruise control stopped working. She was lucky to brake quickly. Wtf?
@Jonathan my concern is that this is a permanent fault, because she said adoptive cruise control works on normal occasions.
The 1.5-T4-255 hp would work right ? Save around 100lbs of weight, and better gas mileage. I mean just make it one motor option. 15 hp less, and 30 more torque. Its based off the accord anyway right.

mbenkelley1 That’s where offline map comes in handy.
Like the look of the passport other than the blackout wheels. I don't understand this trend of blacking the wheels and trim of vehicles these days.

You said 3 inches shorter... Isn't it actually 6 inches shorter?
That's what she said.
I miss Long Beach every time I see your videos
I want that front look on my 2018 Pilot. I hope any conversion kit will come in the future
It should all be swappable, just head to your dealer and buy the necessary bumper pieces.
my stereo has been a problem from the start. it takes 2 minutes to load car play, if it does load or you have to shut your car off to reset really disappointed this was my 4th Honda not sure about a 5th
2nd cheapest trim is $36,000? You've GOT to be kidding!
John Doe the awd system is almost the same as acuras shawd.. adds so bucks on that unfortunately
I do enjoy Micah's sense of humor!
Love it!
lol I think its good, but that new Subaru Forester does it ALL
Plus their Radar eyesight system is one of the best
GoogleLeaveMyNameAlone the outback is more a competitor to this Honda. The forester goes up to bat against the cr-v.

Does the passport really just shut off???
So is that cruise control issue (shutting itself off) a bug? And does the Pilot have the same issue?
