Great Review Here

I saw this and was also going to post for the same reason since someone had inquired about the sub woofer location. I picked up a few new tidbits like how to manually open the hatch. I hope there is also a way to turn off the beep when opening.

I can't be the only one who thinks this car looks great just filthy. I think people would be taking it more seriously as an off road vehicle if Honda hadn't spec'd it with huge wheels and low profile tires.

any reviews of the interior road noise

I have 2017 Pilot Touring and road noise is minimal. I expect the same of the Passport.

To me, the road noise was less then my 2016 Pilot Elite..
The only off roadingI will be doing is going over the occasional curb that I didn’t see when making a right turn ?

I have an vw atlas and looking to get into the Passport, road noise is an issue in the atlas

Passport will also be significantly quicker.

This is funny. (and I'm right there with ya!)

Any independent reviews yet? HondaProJason is a glorified Honda marketing rep who wouldn't dare say something bad for fear of losing access...

I thought this review was pretty balanced and focused on what the Passport really offers without going into too much detail.

I agree. You have to know each reviewer's perspective and tendencies in order to gauge what the "review" is telling you. Most of what we see are brief walkthroughs and feature highlights.

I find that most YouTube reviewers are pretty restrained with their critiques. But if they are balanced and thorough they can still point out a car's flaws without overtly slamming it. You sometimes have to read between the lines.

Let's be honest... if they make the car look TOO bad they'll never be given another one to review!

No doubt. They are part of the marketing campaign.

I agree. Low profile tires create a harsher ride among other technical reasons. My replacement tire will be a higher aspect ratio tire. I found that such a change on other vehicles that I have had make for a more comfortable ride. Note: A specific tire selection is important.
