Changes in appearance to the front and rear of the 2000 Honda Passport and the addition of a new top trim are the only differences to the Passport this year. They've modified the grill and headlamps and slightly changed the rear fascias.

It still uses a V6 engine from Isuzu and 6 and can tow about 4500 pounds.

Standard antilock brakes come on all the Passports as does a two-section rear opening that consists of a left-hinged tailgate under a glass liftgate.

The new top-of-the-line trim, the EX-L is a two-tone paint job with fender flares and leather seats (well, leather trimmed seats), a 6-CD changer, and map lights.

Complaints focus around the amount of road noise, especially in the back seats, the cost of the vehicle, and the rattles and squeaks it always seems to have. That said though, most drivers appreciate the car and keep it for a while.
