Hello everyone.

This is my 1st Honda ever so I'm hoping for a good introduction to them. I'm leaving Toyota for it.

I ordered a white Trailsport B.O Elite on the 14th and am patiently waiting for it to arrive. I was told sometime between the 9th and 15th of August.

So far everyone has loved theirs. It's been a good release and they have been pretty problem free. I think you'll love it, welcome to the site @Freak
 
Thats good to hear.
 
Toyota is a great brand, I think the Honda may feel a little more refined, but it will be very similar. It's sad that this new engine doesn't have VTEC, can't go around saying "VTEC YO!" Otherwise it's a great upgrade to the 3.5 going to DOHC.
 
You're not far off now! Welcome to the forum!

I'm now in the club with you, just over a month or so now after leaving Subaru, and unfortunately too many prior cars before that (many of them being Dodge/Stelantis, and never going back there)

So far, what I can say is that the PassPort easily surprised me with how well integrated most things are, just simple things like auto air setting also setting the seat coolers (havent tested if heaters do the same) and little things even like the electronic nannies being "there" but not TOO intrusive like in a Toyota or Subaru.

What got annoying quick: no homelink, but overcame that by putting in the physical garage remote again, and then when using something in the trailer hitch (bike rack OR gear hauler) the process to turn off park assist/bumper sensors was absolutely silly, no button directly in the reverse camera view?!

But again, first world problems that I am happy to take for the added room, quieter than the Subaru touring even with crossbars on and the moonroof in viewing position, and much better ride quality overall, especially driving straight on the highway.

I'm still torn on when I want to introduce it to some trails, but so far...really really liking the Honda thing, which is something I'd never think of hearing myself say! It also helps I found the exact color AND interior combo I liked!!
 
Thank you for the welcomes!

I had the Subarus before the Toyotas. I miss a few of them. They were fun to drive lol. We had to move on from them once we bought our first house.

Im looking forward to the V6 again, I wasn't a fan of the turbo 4 cylinder in the tacoma.
 
Well it's here. I brought it home tonight. Here's the only pics I took.

Like l always say, let your freak flag fly.
 
Well it's here. I brought it home tonight. Here's the only pics I took.

Congratulations! I bet you are so excited!
 
I'd be more excited if i didn't pick it up at 830 at night then leave for 2 weeks hahah

Yah, that makes it hard to enjoy it!
 
I did make an appt. for tint when I get back. I will have the full W.S, front doors and sunroof done as well as a W.S strip done. All in ceramic, haven't decided on percentages yet.

Here in Texas doing the windshield is a must. Makes a huge difference.

I'm in Louisiana, and I see the point, I'm just concerned about visibility over time.
I have seen the windshield done and it looks amazing however, so it's making me reconsider.
I have the rest, including the sunroof, tinted with ceramic tint.

Ive had my last 3 cars done and no problems so far. I had the shop use a 42% so it is not super dark. A quality ceramic is a must.
 
Congrats on the new ride! Just a quick thing to check when you got a few. I just checked my cabin air filter after owning the car for 8 mos now and the dang thing didnt have a filter cover door on it. Not sure if it was a random thing forgotten in assembly or something missing on more than just mine.
 
Thanks I will check it out.
 
Finally back home and got to drive it again. 1st trip was to the tint shop where I'm getting the front doors, W.S, W.S. strip, and sunroof done.

Here's a couple before pics
