Honda entered the SUV market with its new 1994 Honda Passport. It's quite like Isuzu's Rodeo, which makes sense since it's designed and built by Isuzu. This may also explain why its body-on-base truck-like design was used, which is good since it makes for better suspension. The '94 Passport comes in both 2WD and 4WD models, and three trims. The DX comes with a 2.6-liter, 120hp, 4-cylinder engine. Both the EX and LX models are a bit more powerful with a 3.2-liter, 175-hp, 24-valve, V6 engine. Cons, according to owners, include a ticking noise caused by the valve lash adjusters and a short wheelbase that makes it difficult to regain control of the Honda Passport if you begin to slide. But drivers do like many things such as the Passport's great towing ability (at about 4500 pounds), along with it being durable and tough.
