I thought about getting the '26 Passport, but went with the '25 Pilot Elite. TBH, the more I learn about the J35Y8 engine, the more I wish I hadn't. Not sure what I would have gone with though.

Yeah I’m at the “show me the better new option” point… I’m planning on a new pilot this year. Liking the new ash green/brown combo.

They don't look bad. but not a real off roader at all. Also noticed the tow hooks are horribly low and stick out, ruins the approach angle. but probably okay for what it is.

You are welcome to check out https://www.passportforums.com/ where I am an administrator. One of the top complaints of the Honda sensing safety system is false activations of the CMBS (pre-collision braking) in all sorts of different circumstances. Almost every time I drove my Honda Passport I would get false alerts and activations of CMBS for no apparent reason.

You can tell me this is anecdotal but this is commonly reported among owners of the 2019-2025 generation Honda Passport and that is what I'm referring to because I drove one personally for over 80,000 miles over the course of 4 years and had this happen to me on a regular basis as have countless others.

Yes you are correct, I do not possess a time machine in which I can time travel back to that instance where I hit the deer in my Honda Passport and instead be driving my 2025 Subaru Outback Wilderness which had not been produced yet to measure the responsiveness of the Subaru in that specific instance.

That being said, there were too many things about the Honda sensing safety system which did not inspire confidence in me in the same way that the Subaru eyesight safety system has since I began using it in 2016. Many people I know who have driven both have similar sentiments, YMMV

Can the Honda system be turned off (or disabled)?

On my Ridgeline, which I assume is very similar, it can be “dumbed” down. I have mine on the lowest setting and it helped a ton! I don’t get any unnecessary alerts since doing that.
