I'll reserve judgement until I see the professional test drive reviews as well. I did have 20" tires/rims on our Venza and never took it off road and it drove like a bus, but I always attributed it to the fact that it was a big-heavy SUV mated to a Camry platform..
 
Can someone tell me if I’m crazy because I don’t have any issues with Honda’s 9 speed transmission?
I’m trying to find issues with it but I’m having trouble.
While the internet has pretty much opened up a world of information to us all, it also has its pitfalls and one of the biggest is "negative reviews"! I'm sure you've all seen it, you go to Yelp to read about your favorite pizza joint and there is a slew of bad reviews, someones pizza was too cold, someone thought it didn't have enough cheese, or the delivery was late, and this goes on and on. Look at your local car dealers on Yelp and I'm sure they will have a ton of bad reviews.

My guess is that the internet allows us to voice any negative things while the majority of the patrons who like something, don't leave positive reviews, which could skew overall perceptions.

I'm reasonably convinced that this Honda 9-speed tranny has thousands (if not millions) of satisfied users and that the few people who have had issues or the people who have heard of people having issues perpetuate this.

I've watched a couple of dozen Passport driving reviews and it seems like maybe 20-25% of the informed reviewers mention the previous 9-speed tranny shifting issues, however very, very few of the reviews mention that the problem is still there.
