First Honda and looked at this with low expectations. Then we sat in it . . .

Congrats - looks great in grey.

I've seen a few "in the wild" but haven't sat in one yet. We'll probably replace our 2016 Lexus GX within a year, and, having owned a number of great Hondas - including my current 2019 Ridgeline - the new Passport is on the loose list of candidates.

What was it that "hit you" about the Passport when you sat in it? I understand that it has a lot of space and is laid out really well ergonomically, but is there much sense of comfort, or even a little luxury?

TIA for any feedback.
 
From my 6' 3" friend to my 5' 2" wife everyone finds the ride comfortable and spacious. Leather feels premium, the rest of the dash fields above average. Farthest I've had to drive one way without stopping has been 4hrs. Didn't feel any body fatigue like I did in my Infiniti

After 6 months, I've got 2 complaints.
  1. Why the hell is there no garage door opener button and why still they have to partner with MyQ's terrible subscription model?
  2. Why is the glove box feel smaller than a Miata? Also feels like the cheapest part on the entire car.
 
Congratulations on your purchase, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Welcome to the site @theshammer

I think the additional shelf above the glove box is awesome. I put the flashlight and other small items on the shelf, and I don't have to dig for it in a glovebox. I am adding the mirror with the garage door opener in it. (But I also don't know why they just don't put it in anyway). You can get it from several online Honda dealers who sell them at a discount. There is a good video on You Tube on how to change the mirror. He shows you how to change the camera and rain sensor as well, but it is not necessary to mess with those. Search: "2026 Honda passport Homelink mirror install".
 
Keep on eye on your oil level. Before 5K miles and the first oil change it got a little low. Maybe a tad more than a half or quart. Just an FYI.
 
Congrats on the new Trailsport and welcome! How are those stock tires doing with the snow?

I can answer that. Driven in the snow several times already especially on snowy incline trails. No problem in normal and of course snow mode.
 
It looks right at home in the snow! Welcome to the forum!
