Gregc,So Consumer Reports does another hack job at Honda and the Passport.
It begins by saying there is no reason to buy a Passport when there are two better Honda SUV's, the CRV and Pilot. Of course they fail to acknowledge the serious engine problem with the CRV. Apparently getting gas in your oil isn't a problem worthy of a consumers attention.
Yes that did like the roominess, speed, and visibility but disliked the ride and made some vague statement that you slide around in the seats; what??? After my 1st +700 mile road trip,I didn't slip around in the seat and even though the ride is stiffer than my 2016 Pilot, I did not find it to be uncomfortable in any way. Then they knocked the boot up time of the infotainment system, seriously????
Adding insult to injury, they gave it a neutral reliability even though 90% of it is a Pilot and if you look at the Pilot's reliability in CR's own charts, it is one of the best. In the same chart they rated the Nissan and Hyundai as better predicted reliability; THEY MUST BE CRAZY!!
When my subscription ends, that's it for me after being a 30 year subscriber.
I agree with your assessment of CR's dismissive review of the PP. They did not seem interested in reviewing it, it was simpler to just refer their readership to the CRV or the Pilot. I'm also a many year subscriber to CR and I was most disappointed in their review. My interest and disappointment are not based on being a PP owner, it's based on, what I heretofore thought was their nonbiased approached to product assessment. Disappointed.
