Not anymore today. Not impressed by the Passport’s adaptive cruise control system. What does a good ACC do? Number one, it picks up the car in front of you with time to spare, and brakes smoothly and gradually if braking is necessary. Number two, once that slower car is out of the way, it gets you back up to speed with reasonable haste. The Passport is iffy on both fronts, in my experience. Too often, it picks up vehicles late and then overreacts, slowing me way down when I just needed a dab on the brakes. Then, when the coast is clear and I’m down to, say, 60 mph from my 74-mph set speed, the acceleration back up to 74 can be positively glacial. I’m holding everyone up behind me as the digital speedometer ticks through 61, 62...63...gah! I’ve taken to handling the acceleration myself, because otherwise I feel bad being that guy. The system works well enough that I kept using it throughout my trip, but these limitations are unfortunate." - Josh Sadlier, Director, Content Strategy

When the traction OFF indicator turns on press and hold the traction control switch again until the traction OFF indicator goes off. 4. Release the brake pedal and apply the parking brake. 5.

It’s not something that I really noticed as much when I lived up there, but now when I go back I notice the roads. The roads here are much smoother compared to the roads up there. When you have a 19” or even a 20” rim on a car, the tires don’t have much of a cousin. I’m just saying that an all wheel drive vehicle can get around a little bit better. We drive up to Rhinelander and the Eagle River area, where they get a great deal more snow for the most part also.

Do they turn on with Remote Start? You already answered my other questions on the vehicle, it seems like a great combination of driving, handling, utility, and practicality.

Cons: that infotainment seems slapped on. Like an afterthought. Not a fan. The dash even tho it’s digital it just feels old. When I drove it i didn’t get the butterfly feelings lol. I left the dealership like meh. Went and test drove a 2019 Jeep GC altitude. Not as roomy as the PP. still plentyyy of room though. Beautiful vehicle. No led headlights. Bummer. Beautiful infotainment! Especially in the 2019 bc now it’s that new 8.4 screen that sits flush. Very easy to use. The Jeep nav is great. Test drove it and holyyyyy smokes. That thing has ballssss.

I don't know the inner workings, but he gets different vehicles because they're apart of a press fleet. These vehicles are loaned out to influences, like TheTopher.

I wish you had the RAV4 Hybrid right now! I'm so curious to see how it does in the snow! I already bought one but no snow here to test it out yet.
@caglioso4 жыл бұрын
The hybrid version doesn’t use a proper awd system it’s strictly electronic. Not to be a hater but it just isn’t that good. If you want the peace of mind of a proper awd system just get the non-hybrid rav4.

Sounds like it has good acceleration, but how noisy does it get at high RPM? Its one vehicle I’m considering but need to pull a 2500# camper with, if its going to be revving the whole time like that could get a little annoying?

It only growls under heavy throttle load. Luckily it's a VERY nice sound. Honda V6's have this sonorous growl that never really gets old imo. The mic also makes it sound louder than it really is.

I like the idea of this Suv, but does anyone else think it’s just ugly as hell? I thought about getting one but I can’t get past the looks.
