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.

What? You subscribed to CR for 30 years? Refrigerators and laundry machines -- maybe.

Cars?, No way, not never, no how. Get Car & Driver if not already.

Cars, 10 years ago, yes.
Appliances 10 years ago, yes.

Now, I wouldn't trust them with a review of rubber bands.

I got burnt with an LG fridge, I tried to give them a negative review and found its almost impossible. CR still says they are the best but fail to tell you your warranty is useless.

I've NEVER subscribed to CR and will NEVER, it sounds like a number of things there are rating low are the EXACT same in the Pilot, which means they are uniformed, lazy, illogical and biased.

On a somewhat related note: have you see the Kelly Blue Book list of the 14 best 2019 vehicles?

Strange how Honda won in 6 different categories! Ford and Hyundai in 2 each and not a Nissan, Toyota, Mazda or Subaru on their list..

And KBB also also had the CRV as one of the best. WTF????
