It’s actually a pretty good suv, but I’m a Jeep guy

[@j.redbeard99]

I like the Passport, but wish there was more equipment on the base Sport trim, like Apple Car Play and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

[@NicChampagne]

It is annoying that the wheels on the Sport trim are not the same as what is shown in all the press coverage. Also, can you post more info about the winter tire and wheel package you were driving? Wheel brand/model, tire size? Love the show! I want the base model just to avoid the touchscreen radio, my fear is that in a few years it will be so sluggish/unresponsive when using CarPlay/Auto that it will be useless. I'll just use my phone instead.

[@NixPix87]

[@RossMKF1]

Does Canada not have the Toyota Highlander? That is literally what this car is except it competes against the Pilot.

Do you guys know what wheels and lift they had on the white one?

[@Hufftwoseven]

Bummer the light bar and rack up top are nice

[@fabianherrmann6398]

So much Canada - maple drink, feeding deer, curling, winter driving, awesome hotel in the woods, cool car with the maple leaf on. Looks proper with all that added gear. Great pacing throughout the video and a good mix of angles shown. Also I am again impressed at the lighting you are able to establish despite this difficult sunglare, snow reflection and hard shadows. Premium stuff!

[@Dmocification]

Feeding a reindeer while sliding rocks on ice. Yes the price is in Canadian!

[@gurvaaz1703]

Said sorry to the reindeer reviewed a car in the snow, ofc the price is in Canadian🙃

[@farzadfelfelian9888]

Literally the best outro I've ever seen. Feeding the deers and promoting the merchandise and Patrion. I wish more creators could take note of that mater piece

[@harrismi7]

I like the roided up Passport with all the accessories. It's nice to have an actual V6 and not a turbo 4.

[@manowar5516]

The wrapped passport is nice. Probably the best new Honda off roader since the 1st and 2nd gen pilot.

[@elsapomasguapo]

@Your Mums HITACHI it's white matte wrapped

Imagine calling this an “off roader” lol

[@nubfishin9152]

@@ItzzTesta Its shorter with a matte front end. Its the looks that make it off road ready. Who needs tow hooks, skid plates, and a locking rear diff!!

[@Hallowsaw]

I'm a little skeptical cause last winter there was a pilot stuck in snow on a road leading to my house and me in a subaru legacy went offroad around it with no problems. I made it through with a sedan, he was stuck with a suv? Where did honda go wrong?

[@emanohtolify]

Just found you guys from the States. Been main lining all your past videos. One of the most entertaining vehicle review channels on youtube.

[@dragos9318]

Just got an EX-L in Canada and I can report it has virtually no gloss black trim, it's all replaced by a gunmetal matte aluminum that looks a lot better and doesn't smudge at all. Great vid btw

[@kjam87gxp]

everybody hates on Honda's design but I like it. I like the pilot crv passport accord and civic

[@jejeroy]

YEA they all hates but they dont know what it is to drive a Honda and never have to repair anything cause these cars are well built !

[@2WDROOKIE]

Jay Roy Just make sure not to say that near a Toyota fanboy, I made that mistake myself. I won’t lie, Toyota has great build quality, but at least have an open mind...

[@JoshLeitzel]

I love the civic hatchbacks. CR-V could definitely use a refresh though.

[@kacperziajka7920]

OHH MY GOD, the Passport! YES! Been waiting for this!

[@thecanadiancollector9352]

So my wife and I bought one on Friday March 6th. A 2019 touring and saved some $$. No real changes for 2020. We didn't know this was even out by Honda until we saw the video. Test drove a lot of other vehicles before this one. A great all round suv, lots of room, lots of safety tech, and a V6. Keep up the good work with the videos.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Thanks for the feedback :-)

[@terence4427]

I'm thinking about buying a PP. What are your thoughts about the ZF9 transmission? I've heard good and bad things.

[@thecanadiancollector9352]

@@terence4427 I'm not worried about it. Honda uses it in the Pilot as well. The Pasport is lighter. Should be less work for the transmission. I did read that the stop start feature that turns the engine off at red lights for example and starts it up again when you press the gas can cause a problem with motor mounts. Wonder if the transmission is also negatively affected. I turn it off every time we use thr Passport.

[@melissa4455]

The Canadian Collector how do you like the ride quality? What other vehicles did you test drive before you bought the passport? Any regrets?

[@thecanadiancollector9352]

@@melissa4455 we drove the volvo xc40, everything from Toyota the Rav. 4Runner and Highlander, Mini Cooper Countryman, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee, lHyundai Sante Fe turbo, VW Atlas and Tiguan. Think that was all of them. No regrets on the Honda Passport. There isn't any concerns regarding the engine and transmission as Honda has used these in other vehicles for a while. 280 hp V6 with no turbo stuff to worry about. The Passport has tons of room for passengers and cargo. The ride quality is excellent very smooth. The 4 wheel drive system borders on legendary with torque vectoring left and right front to back. Lastly we got the Touring model which is top of the line. The stereo is fantastic. Good luck with your purchase. Test drives are free. Take your time and find what suits you best.

[@rubinixcube8866]

I’m going to like this video. Not because it’s a Honda that passed the visor test, but because it’s a TheStraightPipes video.

I bought a new car a couple weeks ago, and I don't even watch this channel for the reviews anymore, I just watch it for Jakub and Yuri.

[@tophlovr]

1:37 Can we just appreciate this moment of zoom-in-perfection?

[@CT37BN]

I love the casual feel of this review, just so very enjoyable to watch. Love Honda but not much Acura. Short overhangs on that Passport is a good thing and the cabin is really nice. Can I just say rear quarter view angle ( 10:51 ) nearly resembles a Subaru Forester.

[@owenrodgers8020]

Yes this does look like a forester... I thought it was familiar

[@thatoneotherotherguy]

It's great they brought this nameplate back. Ignoring my long-term reliability fears of stuff like "a 9-speed Honda automatic transmission", this vehicle seems to be a home run. The Honda J-series has proven amazing, and I appreciate any manufacturer giving the semi-offroad market a little love.

[@jacobneal8090]

Well its a ZF transmission and they have got all the bugs sorted out.

Great review as always! I definitely think the Passport will be our next vehicle. Currently our family car is a 2013 Rogue and I can not stand the CVT. The Passport is the perfect size, good tech with a bulletproof powertrain.

[@dakotarodgers9988]

This is the most Canadian video so far! It’s great!

[@msrr1303]

It’s a great SUV. Being a smaller Pilot makes so much sense. I’m so happy Honda kept the V6, these 2.0T’s sound so miserable and having VTEC is hilarious. Also, the AWD system is great, basically an SHAWD system. The drive modes are useful and change the DBW mapping and the RWD bias. My only gripe is pricing. It’s too expensive and too close to the Pilot. I wouldn’t lose my third row for this.

[@jearim7065]

I LOVE THE REINDEER FEEDING DEYM

[@xanth987]

As someone who tested a 2018 murano, Rogue and Rogue Hybrid, here’s a snack size review. Loved the throaty growl of murano when hitting the gas to go uphills and zero g foam seats. Too big for my needs but oh those seats. Rogue Hybrid no spare tire, typical Nissan Rogue style cues but damn thing is heavy off the line. Needs a shot of Mountain Dew even in sport mode. Regular gas Rogue, much lighter off the line, throw the thing into sport mode and gunned it onto the highway hard enough to make the salesperson to grab the “ oh blank handle”. Regular Rogue more suited to my needs but I still have that hangup over the cvt

[@BrilliantBenGaming]

We'll never forget the Honda Element

[@mrbriantheross]

[@beybeychannel1258]

i test drove the Passport and it is indeed a great SUV. Love the big windows and space, the only issues I have is the lack of panoramic sunroof and front parking sensors. The backseats are wide enough to fit three adults. thanks for the video.

I thought about getting the new Honda Passport because I didn't really need the 3rd row seat, but then the Kia Telluride came out and don't mind the 3rd row at all. Sure it's not as off-road capable because of its length, but great when car camping and when needing to sleep it the back.

[@jacobb1354]

I think comparing the Passport to the 4Runner is absurd.

They're both good vehicles but there's a huge difference in buying objectives between them.

Subaru Customer Service is atrocious compared to Hondas. You can get a Honda serviced everywhere while a Subaru they get judgey if you get it service elsewhere (Brampton Subaru yelling at me for taking it to Barrie Subaru).
