My husband ofter to buy me a Jag for my birthday. I have been driving a Honda Odyssey since 2007, 278,000 miles. I love it. No Jag for me. Honda ODYSSEY for now on. At 5'9 my comfort override having style. I think I'm going to go ahead with the 2021. Thanks for the update. Passing my old one down to my daughter. It still ride lovely 😍
We had an Odyssey for 12 years and loved it! So versatile, hauled kids and dogs around, moved furniture, and moved kid to college several times. I still miss it! Will probably get another for retirement. Such a nice lux feeling ride!
I have the 2018 touring and love it . You hit on the head . People always Associate minivans with soccer moms I love it for the room in this it’s like sitting in your living room comfortable and ready to go
I leased a 2003 Odyssey for 4 years, loved that one, been with Honda since 1989, only one issue during that time, an ABS sensor failed the first few months, that's it! I was going to purchase it but to fill the tank in 2006 was nearly $120 in Quebec, it was a crazy time. Grippes? The side doors, so slow and kept beeping so often. The V6 was perfect and so was the rest of that vehicle. Been driving CRVs since.
I have a 2016 Odessey, works great, has amazing leg room for everyone, and drives nice. The only things I don't like are that it gets very poor mileage as a short-trip car, and the eco tech (aka using the third gear to save gas often) really makes the car feel slow when coasting at low MPH (14 or so). I average about 15 MPG going to and from the grocery store, picking up kids and the like. This one looks great, but shares alot of common elements with the 2016 model. I highly recommend this brand. (blue is also the best color)
I will probably check your mpg with a mechanic. I have a 2012 and I get 18/19 city driving/local driving and if i get in the highway its usually hit 24 mpg
It's funny that we bought this van because of the pushbutton transmission - nobody offers a manual van anymore and you can engine brake with paddles in Sport mode - and the stiff suspension, but that's the things you didn't like the most. Hated the Toyota Sienna and turned around after less than a few blocks on TD. It feels softer and slightly higher ride so ends up feeling more like a pickup, plus the fake stick-shift protruding from the dash was just clunky. Different strokes, I guess!
“Fake stick shift”? Lol. No, that’s the shifter for the automatic transmission. You know, the same thing found in almost all other automatic transmission vehicles on the road.
@@mikec3454 I drove a manual for the first 15 years I had my license so it'll always be fake to me. However, there's also zero reason for it to be an aesthetically jarring stick on the dashboard, being as it's automatic. Even a column shifter would have been less intrusive. If it were on the floor, I wouldn't care since you barely notice it.
We bought 2021 Odyssey over Toyota’s new 2021 Sienna for more powerful and quiet engine, large space, better 2nd row management, and style! We even took it to the snow resort two weeks ago with its Snow Mode!
@@mattstewart4002 the Snow Mode will detect any slipping of the front wheels and adjust the torque output to maintain tracking. Odyssey Snow Mode does well on that. You’d also want to watch and learn about how to even better drive in snow by watching some “how to drive a FWD vehicle under snow” videos. Although FWD is not as great as AWD, FWD is still good at driving in snow, (much better than RWD) with some snow driving techniques.
@@mattstewart4002 ps I am still using OEM tires and I can imagine if you switch to or have a second sets of dedicated snow tires from Bridgestone or Michelin which we are getting soon, it will handle snow even better. One thing it can’t do is to drive through very thick snow that is above its ground clearance. I tried and could feel that it could get stuck so I avoided to drive it like a JEEP.
I don’t think any other car maker can make the automatic folding seats I to the floor because people would say “Oh The Honda Odyssey just copied The Pacifica.”
@@NicholasL2288i think it’s because Chrysler has a patent on it. The Chrysler minivan copied Honda on the interior built in vacuum, but they didn’t patent it
Vincent Tan Thanks for watching! Honda Canada apologized for the inconvenience, but that was the last I heard about it. Since it happened towards the end of my week with the Odyssey, there wasn’t much that could be done.
It’s one of the most common complaints reported with the newer gen Odyssey unfortunately. If you look up complaints logged with the NHTSA, it’s overwhelmingly electrical problems.
I have a 15 as well. Tires make a big difference in noise levels. A clean exterior is also quieter. I dialed down the automatic sound system gain to off as well. Another point is the back AC blower. Turn it off when you don’t need it.
It's high time they have a chain drive instead of belt drive in an Odyssey.... it's cost me around $2500 (and some change) to do a "belt-water pump-seals" change in my 2010 Odyssey. Imagine what will it cost to replace for this 2020 Odyssey model? :-(
i luv odsy but it will never be a number van (like sienna). if odyssey want to become a number 1 van in the world (like sienna) it needs to change 6-things at least. those things are: 1. need awd. 2. need panoramic roof. 3. need timing chain not timing belt. (it's ridiculous belt come on). 4. camera around view 360 degrees camera. (not 180-degreec) 5. interior mini refrigerator cool-box. 6. hybrid version and diesel version would be fantastic. (but awd version must stay with hybrid and diesel) and must keep all other features which odyssey elite have currently.
@@NoName-gv6nm this is a complete lie. I live in Massachusetts and refuse to drive anything after I had an AWD. My legacy only ever had seasonal tires and no matter the weather, that car was a BEAST in the snow
@@Nikki-bk1wf odyssey will not beat your legacy, but a good set of tires made my odyssey a very confident winter car. 4 wheel drive on bad tires will get in trouble. It may not have enough grip to stop.
I like the Kia Sedona SXL with captain chairs in the 2nd row. It doesn’t get enough credit. Better value (warranty, features, price) and it looks like an SUV instead of a mini van.
The untold reason not to buy a Honda in the US; they bully their suppliers and small businesses (and in turn the suppliers' AMERICAN employees) Those who are "underneath them" in second and third tier suppliers lose wages and benefits while working harder to meet their demands. The company I work for completed a very large mold contract for Honda (a twin cavity rocker panel, definitely not a small or cheap mold) months ago and it was built completely to their specifications. After it was completed, they changed the specifications to a completely different mold machine, demanding changes that would require intensive modifications on our own dime, or another mold to be built. In this industry, you have a tight budget to work with and sometimes molds like this one can go out in the black, or at cost. I learned recently that Honda will not pay for this mold until their demands are met, putting my job at great risk while some have received pay cuts and reduction in insurance benefits are being made. Our co-pays are becoming very steep, and my son needs rejection medication and tests for his heart transplant. All during a recession and pandemic. In other words, this small business has heavy financial burden and is at great risk of not making it, forcing American families who work here into an out-of-luck situation. And worse, I have heard we are far from the first business Honda has done this to. I have never seen any customer anywhere in my life lack honor and integrity on the scale that Honda does. You meet the nicest people on a Honda. Unfortunately some real jerks design and build them. If you want to help American families, don't buy from Honda and let them know why.
I have been to a Porsche showroom last year and I checked out the Macan. The 2nd row leg room is a joke. I can't even move my legs and I'm only 5'10". Even a Yaris have better room than a Macan. It is absolutely apples and oranges between the Odyssey and Macan.
Odyssey is a van.I think you are confused because of the title.The title literally means the SUVs are meaningless when Odyssey can meet the people's requirements.

I brought 2003 Odyssey and still driving today. Honda used to make good quality vehicles, but no longer today.
I have a 2008 LX with 222k and still drives like new!
This engine can last 400k miles with proper maintenance.
Really wish people would get over the bizarre minivan stigma, these things could easily be viewed as just as sexy as SUVs but arbitrarily aren’t
Thanks for a real review that addresses everyday use. On my list to move on from my suv

Its called winter tires buddy. Try them.

Great point. Wake up for those who purchased SUVwith 2 wheel drive. Don't make any sense.
Over 60k with taxes n fees?! ... I'll pass.
We bought a 2021 Osyssey EX-L, about $36000 before tax.

That minivan looks all right, but we have decided on a Kia Carnival. Go improved minivans!
I have one 2015 odseey, I just telling you... this MPV is just so loud when it’s at 120km/h.

I like sienna, but not anymore after I saw that its a death trap for the front passenger. Ill never buy one until they get better at that.
The odyssey has had the cooling box since about 2011 or so. That gen elite offered it.
This is the worlds greatest car
I always want to drive that but I don't want it to be at SUV
Because SUVs are the fastest vehicle but actually on the Odyssey or the fastest vehicles because they are large Grand
those nit picks are everyone's complaint, seems to be a no no to me this van.
