I have only had my PP for a few days, but the front parking sensors leave much to be desired. They do not really help me park. Would much rather they had two more which gave you distance from dead center, rather than angled toward the corners of the vehicle.

^This. For me with a new vehicle it takes a while to know where the front bumper is. The first day after I got the Passport I went to a local strip mall and parked in front of a light post. When I got out of the car, I was probably 2 feet away from the post . I have a better feel for it now ...

A front camera or 360 degree view would be nice.

Agree, the sensors on my wife's RX350 are much better!

Ok... here's one...Cap-less fuel filler.... it's happened a few times. Maybe it's me and I'm doing something wrong.... The cap-less fuel filler doors... I've had the fuel pump nozzle get stuck a couple of times here. (Michigan-Non emissions vacuum pumps...just the regular type) I was at the fuel station and had to really work at getting the pump nozzle out. I felt like a fool. Anyone else have that problem?

I usually don't use the parking sensors. They are too sensitive for me.

Sensitive?

The Passport does not offer a Surround View Camera. A widely available item.
Also, in my mind, everyone misses the shifter and a real console with an armrest.
Three simple things, so easy for Honda to make right IMO.

"a real console with an armrest" ... I much prefer the console in the Passport to what's usually available in other cars. I had a 2017 Ridgeline with the same console and I'm very glad it hasn't been changedin the Passport. For me the armrest is perfect, especially since its height adjustable. Since owning my Passport for about two weeks now I'm getting used to the push-button shifter, no complaints from me.

I'm in California and have only filled up once (at Costco) but it was no problem at all, love the no-cap feature!

Here in this part of the country, we don't have the California vapor recovery nozzle pumps that suck up the fuel vapors. I have used your type before on many different trips to Cali and Nevada... and I don't think it lets you insert very deep as the whole thing is a boot - springy thing. Here, we just have the aluminum fillers with the spring wrapped around it. The spring looking thing (grounding spring?) that wraps around the filler nozzle can get stuck (read: go past the first door) on the cap-less fuel filler hole. I have to be careful not to insert it all the way as now I'm afraid of the thing getting stuck in the first flapper door in the filler. I guess its the pros and cons of cap-less fuel fillers....

Anybody else disable the "Auto High Beams" feature? I had to as it was occasionally blinding on-coming traffic and keeping the brights on with vehicles a short distance ahead of me. I didn't want to be one of "those" people that annoy and blind everyone else with their "Welding-Blue White" headlights.

^Yes. I discovered this last week when out well before sunrise on the highway. The high-beams came on at times I didn't need them (the trip I made I have done many times and have never felt the need to use high-beams at all), stayed on just a little too long in the face of on-coming traffic, and went on/off annoyingly with traffic not too far ahead. For me, this will be a manual only operation, however I might test them again when I am in a different setting (2 lane road, etc)

Can’t believe idle stop cant be completely disabled and will come on every time. Also LKAS does not stay on and must be enabled every time the car is started. Common Honda....

I had mine turn on during a foggy morning!

Learn how to use it, don't let it win. Once mastered you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. Took me a couple months (former vehicles) till I stopped hating it, learned it and won!

I’m having a issue with my drivers side mirror. When I put my passport in reverse the mirror tilts so you can see curbs. When I put the car back in drive the mirror is never back in the original spot so I have to adjust the mirror every time I get into car. Is anyone else having this issue?

Put the mirror switch in the center, and they'll stay. If the switch is to the right or left. that one mirror tilts in reverse.

I disabled mine a few weeks ago / I was one of “those” folks a few extra times that clearly didn’t need to happen and it was pretty rude to others so I quickly looked up how to disable ?

My concern if you leave idle/stop enabled. Does it put more wear and tear on the vehicle? I am surely no Honda engineer and Honda would know best. The feeling is so weird how it feels like it stalled. I just can’t get use to it.

Just test drove Passport Touring for about 2 hrs without the salesman in the car...My wife and I were very impressed...quiet..plenty of power on the highway...Took it over some very bad side streets...felt solid...Seats are very comfortable...arm rests..captains chairs..were very comfortable...(I had my doubts about the arm rests)..Definitely considering buying an Elite at end of this year..waiting for dealer prices to settle down and any vehicle bugs worked out.

...... "waiting for dealer prices to settle down and any vehicle bugs worked out"
Same strategy for me, or at least understanding the Honda idiosyncrasies.

It's the same on every car I own... you can only disable it temporarily.. considering the minor amount of gas you save its ridiculous, I will say that the Honda version is much less intrusive than others I have had and seems to shut off less frequently.

I don't think you can buy a car without it anymore... My X-1 had 80K on it when I traded it in and no issues with the starter and BMW's idle stop is much more aggressive on shutting off than the Honda
