In 1994, Honda was itching to get into the growing SUV market and field their own entry. Their answer to this was the Honda Passport. The Honda Passport SUV is actually based on a car that was designed and made by Isuzu, the Rodeo. Although the car performs well enough, sales of the Honda Passport were not overly impressive and the car has a low resale value which is unheard of with Honda cars. The Honda Passport was first released in 1994. It was designed and built by Isuzu as part of an arrangement between Honda and Isuzu where Honda provides Isuzu with cars (Isuzu Gemini, Isuzu Oasis) and Isuzu provides Honda with SUVs. The Honda Passport is known to be a reliable car. It is also quite comfortable and achieves the goals of an SUV, providing truck like power mixed with car like comfort. The interior of the Honda Passport was quite spacious and the handling was superb at moderate speeds. Many owners of Honda Passports also complement the SUV for its quiet yet powerful engine. The Honda Passport is also quite capable off road and has many off roading followers. The Honda Passport was generally poorly received in the market. Many car buyers recognized the Honda Passport as a rebadged Isuzu SUV. In fact, the Honda Passport is generally excluded by Honda dealers for guaranteed trade in value as the car has a weak resale value. The Honda Passport was a solid vehicle which performed quite well on the road and even better off it. As an SUV, the Honda Passport had surprisingly good interior. It had plenty of cabin room and had excellent handling at reasonable speeds. The Honda Passport was powered by a V6 engine which provided 205 hp. At 3000 rpm, the engine produced 214 ft-lb of torque force. Standard equipment for the Honda Passport included ABS, power windows and locks, 4WD shift-on-the-fly, cruise control, air conditioning, dual airbags and remote entry security systems. In terms of performance, the Honda Passport offered a solid driving experience giving great acceleration, a surplus of engine power and driving stability to rival that of a car. However, the Honda Passport did have a few problems as well. These usually involved engine, air conditioning, electrical system and transmission problems . Notably, Honda issued a recall for the Honda Passport due to ABS brake failures. The Honda Passport also has a low fuel efficiency. The Honda Passport would only be a good buy for those who are looking for a good off roader to tinker around with. As a regular use SUV, the Honda Passport is well past its prime. Its stylings belongs to an older car era and, although it is a good performer, there are better looking SUVs with more to offer that are available both as brand new and as second hand vehicles. One saving grace of the Honda Passport as a second owner buy is its low price but this only points out to the low resale value of the car. Finally, the Honda Passport has a very dismal fuel efficiency rating, a sure sign that this is a bad buy in today's fuel efficiency conscious world. Headlights by State:
