[@its.kobayyyyyyy]

For me, I'm gonna zonk its premium sound system, because Honda literally didn't assign the brand for their premium sound system (whether it's a Bose, Harman Kardon, Bang & Olufsen, etc.) I mean, other car brands, Toyota uses JBL, Mazda (including the Fiat 124 Spyder), Hyundai (only for the 2020 Sonata), Nissan, Infiniti, and GM use Bose, Mitsubishi and Nissan (only the 2nd generation Nissan Titan (XD) from 2016-2019) used to have Rockford Fosgate, but they're no longer having it because of their license from Rockford Fosgate got expired, Subaru, Kia, BMW, MINI, Chrysler (Pacifica only), Jeep (Grand Cherokee only), and RAM use Harman Kardon, Chrysler (except for Pacifica), Dodge, and Jeep (except for Grand Cherokee) use Alpine, Ford and Audi use Bang & Olufsen, Hyundai uses Infinity, Volkswagen and Nissan (only the redesigned 2nd generation Nissan Titan (XD) from 2020-present) use Fender, Lexus uses Mark Levinson, Acura, Honda's luxury brand, uses ELS from Panasonic, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche use Burmester, Lincoln uses Revel, Volvo, Maserati, BMW (some models), and Alfa Romeo use Bowers and Wilkins, and Jaguar and Land Rover use Meridian. Hmmm... I think for me if Honda is going to brand its premium sound system, I think it should be either Bang & Olufsen, or maybe they could share the same premium sound system that Acura uses, which is ELS. Because if Honda chose Bang & Olufsen, it makes more sense that it may be easy for car buyers to identify which sound system Honda is using compared to other normal Japanese car brands like Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, and Subaru. If a car uses JBL, that means a car was made by Toyota. If a car uses Bose, that means a car was made by either Nissan (except for the Titan (XD)) or Mazda. If a car uses Fender, that means a truck was made by Nissan, which is the Titan. Finally, if a car uses Harman Kardon, that means the car was made by Subaru. Because if Honda chose the same sound system brand that Acura uses, which is ELS, it would make a lot more sense that a luxury car company can share its brand with its sister company, which is a normal car company, like GM, Nissan, and BMW (except for Rolls-Royce because RR had their own.) Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac all use Bose. Nissan and Infiniti also both use Bose like GM. Finally, BMW and MINI both use Harman Kardon. At least, Honda should have their own license from either Bang & Olufsen or Panasonic. Every Honda model except for Fit should have a premium sound system with a brand. That's what I concerned about Honda. I have terrible English. If you don't understand this comment or if you correct me for this, I'm sorry.

[@normt5463]

5. Honda CR-V • Most common complaint: Steering (69 complaints) • Total complaints 154 • 2019 sales (through Q3): 280,739 • Vehicle type: Compact SUV Of the over 150 reported complaints about the 2019 Honda CR-V, most can be traced back to a single issue. The vehicle issued a recall in May 2019, saying, “The metal core of the steering wheel may have burrs which can damage the harnesses routed within” - which could damage the air bag. This design may have otherwise affected the steering and air bags. There were 69 complaints regarding the steering and 65 complaints regarding the 2019 CR-V’s air bags. USAToday

I must say you were being rather generous in several areas you normally are quite critical. Also no test of it's handling and brakes. I tried one and chose the SEL Tiguan instead. Tighter build, faster and quieter and better Infotainment system. Most people zonk the current Honda Infotainment system as well.

AFAIK, the oil gas dilution remains on the 1.5T in the CRV. Would not touch it with a 10 foot pole. The fake wood on the dash cheapens the whole interior, and should be swapped out for a textured plastic IMHO.

Why don't you talk about the Honda Sensing features ? Like in Highway it can kind of drive automatically, when you turn on adaptive cruise control and the lane detention and keep assist, it auto steers on highway. And also, it reminds you to steer if you don't keep your hands on the wheel for long. It also tracks your attention level, and breaks automatically if the car in front breaks suddenly, gives you visual and audible warning to break. Cross traffic alert, back camera lot of other features to talk about.

I’ve owned many CRVs. They are fantastic, not one has ever seen a shop. But If it’s ever not king I’ll switch to something else. I will say that it needs two things.

Especially in the touring trim, I mean seriously, when are they going to get it that passengers can be tall too??

But it does not solve the initial problem, which is a total shutdown of the infotainment system while the Passport is moving. This is a frustrating situation for buyers. It does not reflect well on the quality of the Passport's software, and causes a potential distraction hazard at speed.
