I’ve spent enough time with our 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport long-term tester now—close to 4,000 miles, to be precise—to sample most of its features. Most of them are fairly straightforward, such as media, climate, and comfort, while other remote features, like the Honda Link app, require a bit more time and effort to explore.
Most importantly, I’ve had a chance to use these dozens and dozens of times by now, helping me understand how useful or gimmicky they are, how reliable, and in some cases, whether they’re worth the money or not. Also, it’s been lovely to hear from many of you, asking me questions about the Passport, its pros and cons, and its quirks. In some cases, you’ve shared your own experiences with your own Passports.
I’m getting straight to the nitty-gritty here and breaking these down into three categories: Like, Dislike, and On the Fence. Each item will have a brief explanation of why it’s in that category, as well as any relevant details or rambling thoughts.
I just turned 4,000 miles in the Passport (I was given it with around 300 miles), so you can look forward to a full review for the next installment of our long-term test in the coming weeks, as well as a features video on our social media channels. Stay tuned!
