Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight. <p>The Isuzu Rodeo and the Honda Passport were redesigned for the 1998 model year and structurally modified beginning with 2000 models to improve occupant protection in frontal crashes. Beginning with 2002 models, airbag modifications were made to further improve occupant protection.</p> Dummy movement was reasonably well controlled. The driver's seat tipped toward the door. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the roof rail and grab handle. Measures taken from the neck and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the head indicate that injuries to the head would be possible. Forces on the right tibia and both feet indicate that injuires to the lower leg and both feet would be possible. Head accelerations from the roof rail and grab handle hits were low. 2002 Isuzu Rodeo LS 4021 none 106 178 70 3.2 L V6 16 20

Category: Comments: Rating:
Engine Occasional problems on this vehicle are failure of the Intake Manifold Gaskets, the Fuel Level Sensor, and the Engine Short Block. Failure of the Intake Manifold Gaskets may cause a rough idle or the Check Engine Light to illuminate. Failure of the Fuel Tank Sending Unit may cause the Fuel Gauge to be inaccurate and may turn on the Check Engine Light. Lack of maintenance can cause the pistons rings to stick, resulting in excessive engine oil usage. This engine oil usage can lead to piston rod bearing failure resulting in replacement of the Short Block. The cost to replace the Intake Manifold Gaskets is estimated at $46.00 for the parts and $149.50 for labor. The cost to replace the Fuel Level Sensor is estimated at $359.58 for parts and $162.50 for labor. The cost to replace the Short Block is estimated at $4,280.00 for parts and $1,235.00 for labor.

New Car Test Drive Review

Category: Review:
Summary:

Comfortable and competent.
By Dean Stevens, NewCarTestDrive.com

The Honda Passport is a stable, solidly built, and versatile SUV that can hold its own against some other more expensive Utes. While some plus-sized passengers (or drivers) might find some interior dimensions lacking, the Passport offers an outstanding balance of value and performance.

Overview:

If you're shopping for a light, efficient and reliable family car, Honda can bring 30 years of experience to the table. But for a heavier-duty, off-road-capable SUV, even Honda shops somewhere else. And that's how the Passport came to be.

Passport is engineered and built by truck-specialist Isuzu; it is essentially an Isuzu Rodeo with Honda badges. And that, in no way, is a bad thing. The Rodeo/Passport is a true, versatile, dual-purpose SUV, one that can cruise the highway in comfort and style, while its dependable 4WD system and rigid truck frame let it tackle rough terrain and rural tracks as well as some of those tougher-looking SUVs.

Are you surprised that Honda would go out and find a vehicle that could do all that, and still offer quietly handsome styling and downright luxurious appointments? No? Of course not. You knew Honda would take care of you, one way or another. And owning a Passport means you own a passport to Honda's service facilities.
