Greetings,
Wife and I just picked up our ‘23 Sonic Grey Pearl Trailsport yesterday. Drove it 370 miles home and loved getting to know it. Living in Alaska, I have to pay the following taxes: Weathertech floor liners, winterization, 2-way remote start, and musflaps…
Anyhow, this is my first Honda since my ‘89 civic hatchback that I got when I first started driving back in ‘98.
We’d been looking for a 4Runner for quite some time but couldn’t find one that didn’t have a $6-7K “market adjustment”. Tried out the passport and was pleasantly surprised. Cheers!
Sent this picture to my wife announcing the purchase:

Really like how the Passport is blue in some light and grey in others:

Nice! Are the floor liners different than the mats that came with the TS? I got the same car as you and one dealer was trying to say I needed the "included $200 all weather mats" when I said he was wrong he 'checked w the manager' and said I could get a credit - I went elsewhere

Here in Fairbanks, AK, I buy the Weathertech liners with a big lip…bowl-like. We get mud and snow and gravel and all sorts of bad stuff during breakup. The stock ones won’t manage that debris as well, they never do. They’re nice, just not Alaska nice..

I'm wondering how popular Honda Civic is in Alaska.

Congratulations and welcome to the forum.

The "Break Up" Love it.. Been to Alaska before, so I am familiar with the 2 seasons only! =) Happy days! Pump that OIL guys!!!! We need it, I have buyers remorse every time I am at the gas station that we are buying oil from South America and OPEC, while we could get it here! Just my 3 cents (2 + 1 because of inflation! ) =)
