Main theme: The new 2019 Honda Passport sits between the compact CR-V and the three-row Pilot. We discuss the one we rented, then we debate whether America really needs another SUV. We also talk about a new loyalty program for Ford owners.
Driven this week: 2019 Honda Passport
Audience questions:
- If it takes me three months to go through a tank of gas, should I move up an octane level?
- Does Subaru make the best all-wheel drive system? How does it compare with Hyundai's setup?
- Are some adaptive cruise control systems better than others?
- What's a reliable used truck that costs between $15,000 and $20,000 and that still comes with creature comforts like Apple CarPlay and leather?
