2001 Honda Passport Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Still designed and built by Isuzu, and no changes from the previous year, the 2001 Honda Passport is a light, small, minivan, with some crash test problems.
It comes in in six colors: silver, white, black, blue, red, and green and comes in either regular 2WD drive or 4WD.
It's 4WD system allows for shifting on the fly and the simple push of a button can bring you into 4WD high even while driving. Moving into low drive though requires stopping and manipulating a lever on the floor. There's even a winter mode which helps the tires really grab the ice, which is a welcome enhancement for those of us living in the snow and ice that lasts far too many months.
The 3.2-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 makes it a reasonable drive. One complaint, though, which was voiced by many, involves the placement of the windshield wiper control which is different than many other vehicles.
The EX model comes with a cool moon roof, fog lights, and remote key-less entry -- all optional features for the LX model.
On the LX Passport model, the spare tire is mounted on the tailgate. On EX and EX-L, it's in the cargo area, which is problematic when driving up a steep grade since it will drag on the road.

I bought this car in October after messing up my accord pretty bad. I was also needing something with a little more room and came across this deal! And what a great deal it was. Come to find out, I now know why it was priced so cheap. The lady I bought it from told me she had a problem with some lights coming on, but got it fixed so there was not an issue anymore. The check engine light and the Reduced Power light has been on since 2 days after I purchased it. We have replaced parts and had it to mechanics and even the dealership and nobody can seem to figure out what's going on with this car!! I'm at my wits end!! I just want to be able to drive this car and not have to worry about the reduced power kicking in and having to slowly make my way home. Hopefully someone can help, because I really do like the car and would love to drive it around!Feb 04, 2013

This is an absolutely great weekend running around vehicle.
I use it mostly for beach outings, trips to the dog park and traveling.
Lots of room - fun to drive - decent gas mileage - easy maintenance.
Love it - Love it - Love it!Apr 07, 2010

i purchased my truck in 05 as soon as i drove it off the lot things happened right away. the gas sensor went out, some other part up in the engine that had to be replaced went, the windshield wiper in the back quit and no my cd player wont eject my disks. every part is 300-400 dollars and also the high dollar labor. i didnt just dive into buying this automobile. after extensively searching the internet for months, this suv was on the top. woooooooooww was i mistaken. i had to buy used because of my income and just getting married, what a bummer.Dec 27, 2007

2001 Honda Passport with the reduced power light and check engine light on!
2001 Honda Passport with the reduced power light and check engine light on! Can't get the car o go over 30 mph. It threw out 2 codes for the TPS and Accelerator Sensor and I have changed both of those parts. Fixed it for about 40 miles and then the lights came back on and the car lost power again. Anyone know what the problem could be?

2001 honda passport transmission
I have a 2001 honda passport and it just recently started giving me problems with the transmission im assuming. About a week ago it started, reverse works perfectly but then you put it in drive and when you take off it goes but then its like it goes back in neutral then it throws its self back in drive, after that it will drive all day with no issue. Now a week later it is doing it for a much longer time and now it does it in the initial take off and at red light and stop signs. Can somebody please help me ? I was going to check the transmission fluid but cant seem to find a dip stick.
