Even a redesign of the 1998 Honda Passport hasn't much increased owners' perceptions of it.
The redesign increased the interior room, added a bit more power, and made the seats supposedly more comfortable.
The '98 Passport now has a 3.2L V6 engine with 205 hp. But it gets 20 mpg (highway) at best, and most drivers find it delivers between 15 to 17 in regular driving. That's a bit tough with today's gas prices.
Many still love the Passport's ability in the snow and the weight it can easily tow. It is however, still the reliability issue and the Isuzu build that many drivers complain about.

I like it well enough. It gets me from A to B. I've only had it for a few months. It's a
bit of a bouncy ride but I don't mind it. It's not much of a looker but it'll do well in
the winter!Oct 21, 2011

Performance - Stock, but has torque for a v6, hauls
anything I need for it to be hauled.
Build Quality - Engine needed alot of maintenance,
burns oil, and sucks alot of gas. Other than that, it is
decent.
Appearance - Very low key vehicle that no police will
harass.
Fun Factor - Going off roading, taking trips,
commuting.Jul 09, 2009

Car runs great and easy to fix, just the last owner didn't take care of it. I wish some of the panels wouldn't rattle and the suspension is kinda of loose, but over all a quality product. For the 180,000 miles it still hits 80 or more on the freeway and it feels solid. This car will be fun to drive for some time if I just keep up the maintenance on it. It is comfortable to sit in and has nice lines to it. Jan 13, 2009

1998 Honda Passport Radiator?
Hello, I have a 1998 Honda Passport EX that has been idling high for awhile in the 2k-2.5k range. I changed the temp sensors and it helped for awhile, until it started idling high again. On Monday, I was sitting in the vehicle, in park idling and then white smoke spilled out from the hood and I get out of the vehicle and there’s green fluid everywhere on the ground. The tow truck driver said it was the radiator that blew, and he even drove it onto the flatbed. So, my questions are - do I need to replace the radiator, and are there any other parts I should replace? Is it worth it to change the radiator?
