Hello everyone, I own an original 2003 pilot, and I’m looking at the new passport. I have a few questions and concerns about the new passport, and would appreciate any feedback.
Size - Is the 2019 passport the same size as the old, original 2003 pilot? I think the current pilot is a good bit larger than the 2003. Is this so?
Black wheels - I am looking at the touring trim. I understand the black wheels are painted. Wouldn’t this be a problem with scratches? Can you get an aluminum or metal option, without the huge upcharge?
Center console - I really don’t like the flimsy armrest, and I like the high, padded, wide center console in the 2003. It is very comfortable for me to rest my arm in many positions. Is there an aftermarket solution? What has been others experience not having the traditional console?
9 speed transmission - I’ve read a lot of non flattering reviews. Is this transmission ok or not? Did Honda miss the boat with this non Honda transmission?
Thanks for any feedback.
