Should I Buy the 2021 Honda Passport?
If you’re looking for a spacious, two-row mid-size SUV with a long list of safety features, and you don’t need serious off-road capability, the Passport is a smart choice. Ample cargo room and a refined ride are highlights, and the interior is smartly designed. Some of the multimedia system’s controls, however, are fussy.
