I just need the best features from this and the Sienna to combine for the ultimate minivan 😂
basically the AWD and hybrid.
@@remyd8767 And the ceiling vents
And the seats
I just need you 🙂
Literally facts. I’ve had both and what one has the other lacks
I have never commented on a video before but felt compelled to after watching this. THANK YOU for giving a mom perspective! And thank you for being quick and to the point. So many car reviews focus on power and are too wordy regarding visual detailing (which you can just see by watching the video so don’t waste my time). This was great! Look forward to watching more mom car reviews as I’m on the hunt for something to comfortably fit a family of 5.
Have to say I love that they moved the air vents to the doors. My kids hated the air blowing in their faces, and having them in the door made them super expensive to repair. We have never had an issue with the third row not getting enough air. On my second Odyssey, and with 4 kids I’d never look at anything else.
Best Odyssey review ever! Lots of practical visualization. I’m sold!
Don’t forget to mention the break hold. Break hold is amazing!! And the memory driver seat. You just set the seat and mirrors to where you want it and it goes that way each time. My husband and I both have our own settings. Love it so much!!
We just finally got a 22 Odyssey after driving a Prius with 3 kids (16, 13, 5) for years and we ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I just kick myself for not giving in and getting one sooner.
I just purchased a 21’ Odyssey Touring and I LOVE IT! I also have a 21’ Suburban and I’d pick my Odyssey over my Suburban any day of the week! With 2 kids in car seats (a 5 month old and 5 year old) and 2 big kids (13 and 14) it’s a breeze for them to get to back row with the MAGIC SILDE seats!! I’m just mad it took me this long to come over to the dark side 😂
This tour is hilarious, thank you for making a minivan seem exciting!
Seem exciting? Girlfriend it is exciting! Lol.
Another excellent review, Kelly! Well-made, never boring!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for these videos! We’ve been shopping for a new van and your honest, insightful reviews helped so much in my decision-making. New Odyssey tomorrow 🎉
Yay!! I’ve been waiting for this!
We love our 2021 EXL,makes handling cargo easy.The low floor makes loading wife’s containers so much more easier than our old 4RUNNER.A huge difference in gas mileage also.
We just bought a 2022 odyssey and LOVE it! We were test driving suburbans and decided to check out what the magic seats in the Honda were all about. Game. Changer! I have two kids and am 20 weeks pregnant with our third, making 3 kids 3 and under. We needed space, versatility, comfort, and long lasting. We plan to have one more after this soon so being able to change up all the ways and places to put them as we grow was so important. I know, it’s a van, she ain’t that pretty. But actually on the inside she is reallll nice! And I’ll trade her in 10 years down the road for my suburban. But for now, yeah I am lovvvving the minivan life!
We had previously test driven the Pacifica and found that the seats were much thinner, so not as comfortable, because they had to fit in the floor. And we test drove the Carnival, which we really liked at first, then as we tried to get appointments to see different trims we found that the cars had to keep going to the shop for fixes. Brand new cars. So we left that train real fast.
But ultimately, we knew that the Honda Odyssey is the OG, everyone knows she’s a sturdy, long lasting, good car. And the magic seats are life.
think of the gas you save instead of buying a suburban
Oh no I’ve been looking into the carnival , haven’t test driven anything yet but I thank you for the insight !
tested third row of suburban, I’m 6’2 and my knees were stuck up high crushing on the seat, but once I went in an odyssey it was perfect, my knees didn’t crush on the seat and my knees weren’t up to my mouth, also tested 0-60 times, got a 6.7 second 0-60 in the odyssey, suburban did a little over 7 seconds
Oooooooooo yeah!!!!! I've been waiting on this one! Thanks!!!!
I have a 2018, and we prefer the air/heat vents where they are now vs the ceiling. We had a Chrysler, with ceiling vents, and my kids were always hot and complained the couldn’t feel air. They love the vents in the Odyssey
I’ve had this van since May and you forgot some of my favorite features: on the door, it will remember driver 1 and driver 2 seat preferences based on the key fob used. This is super convenient for my husband and I. It also has remote start feature. The cubbies in the back hold a venti Starbucks perfectly to keep it safe as you unload your target bags. It also holds the #carmom handheld vac beautifully. The magic slide feature also leaves a spot for easy diaper changes on the go. I was nervous to drive such a big car but I think it drives really well. The back up camera is fantastic as well as the parking and cross traffic sensors. I LOVE this car. Have 3 kids in car seats and you too will become a mini van mom.
This is also really helpful information! Thanks for posting!
Do the rear windows roll down?
@@ashleywinter8024 the second row windows go down, but not the 3rd windows.
Can you fit 2 car seats in the 3rd row and have a person sit in between them?
Do you live in a hot climate? My only concern is the rear vents. But every other feature and thing about it is a pro and I can get car seat fans. I think remote start will help too.
I freaking love your energy and commentary. I hate car researching/shopping but this has made it enjoyable and you are crackingggg me up. Lol
We absolutely love our Honda Odyssey 2018 van!!
She is so funny, she is not even trying to be serious/professional. I love it.
I could watch your videos all day!! Love them!
I am so appreciating your videos. They are so helpful where it counts. I am a grandma with a Honda Odyssey which I have loved, loved, but it's getting close to replacement time. We have two luxury cars as well, but are wondering if replacing the Odyssey is good or trading our cars for a family sized SUV. Thanks again. I can hear about how the engine works and how they drive, but putting the kids and all the stuff in is what we should be thinking about. I would love to see a Car Mom rating scale...Honda 9, Sienna 8 and so on. Think about it.
So excited for Honda reviews!!!!
I had a 2019 Odyssey and I agree about the vents! Not to mention my daughter broke the one in the third row like three separate times by kicking them
We just got the 2021 Honda odessey and I love it so much and I had a Yukon before this is just so much more convenient and better price for hauling kids!!
I love the look actually I think it’s sporty and so cute I am sad the vents are on the sides though it’s lame honestly but air conditioning works great our car cools down fast! I actually drove the Pacifica for a while and the seats are so much better in the oddesey in my opinion.
Super fun video - thank you! I had a '12 Odyssey EXL with the ceiling vents and now own a '20 EX with the side vents. My kids HATE the new side vents. Still love the minivan regardless.
I always said I'd NEVER be a minivan mom, but here I am looking at minivans... 😂
Me too… 🙃
Same
Just bought a 2019 odyssey and I love it.. DGAF that it's not cool. 😂Not only can it support my growing family's needs but I can haul so much crap in it when I need to!
Same here I Love my van 💕
Minivans are cool, don't let anyone or anything convince you otherwise. The "soccer mom" stigma of the 90's so long associated with the minivan is gone. That stigma now belongs to the modern SUV that has never seen a dirt road and wishes it was as utilitarian as the minivan. There is nothing more uncool than trying to be something you are not!
@@tom_marsden Wow thank you for that😊 I have 6 kids and I’m absolutely in love with my van.
Thank you so much for the tour! I’ve never loved the body style of the Odyssey though. Much prefer the new Carnival or the Sienna, but that’s just me. I love all your tours
Wow. I didn’t think I was a minivan mom but you sold me.
I love your review!!! Perfect, don’t care much about the exterior…interior matters most for moms! Ditto on the iced coffee and water :)
I used to own a 2016 Odyssey EX-L. Loved everything about it. The only reason I traded it in, was because it was not AWD, and living in Colorado, did not do to well in the winter. So I got a Honda Pilot. If they make this AWD, I will trade my Pilot back for an Odyssey. Just love the spaciousness in the Odyssey. We did multiple road trips as a family of 5 and everyone was comfortable.
I have an 08 odyssey and love it! I'm wanting to upgrade but my kids are teens now so I really dont need a van. That hasn't stopped me from looking at new vans though lol
The gold at 1:17 "Lets start with the exterior...gonna make this part kinda brief cuz *magic hands* it looks like a minivan" LOL THANK YOU!!!
Love my new 2022 it's perfect and drives great
Put all videos on UA-cam!!! Im lovin-it Kelly!!!! Huge fan from Alabama!!!
When I go on road trips with my friend, she has a old Honda, and she has the roof vents! And it is amazing.
I don't know why but I'm 20 and I want one for some reason I like minivans especially Honda Odysseys
Died with the "coolest mom on the field" when she pulled the back seat to seat on it.. LOOOOOOOOL... XD
This van reminds me of a hearse from the side. I like mom vans because their so utilitarian. Their great for transporting people, or take out the seats and using them as a cargo van or for camping. It's hard to beat Chrysler's Stow N Go seating.
I don’t own one, but I hate the hate that minivans get. Like the features of a minivan can not be beat!!
i totally agree!
Now this is a minivan for me. I go for ease and function any day. And she's blue!!
Regarding the lack of rear ceiling A/C vents, it's less about the air blowing ON you, and more so about the distribution of air throughout the cabin to cool/heat the vehicle more effectively.
I agree with this, I was upset at first, but actually was better. I have 4 kids and the distribution of air flow is better this way in my opinion.
Rosales is that still your opinion? Ceiling vents were like my one requirement 😩
Disagree, a kid who is feeling a little motion sickness needs some cool air quickly. Also, on a trip it’s likely the sun will be on one side of the car for Lon periods so one kid will be hotter and need more direct air flow than the others.
I love free sun chair part 😂
Just got the 2022 odyssey and love how smooth it drives. Thanks for breaking down all the extra extras !!
I had the 2018 and finally got rid of it today! So many recalls and problems! Living in South Texas the AC was a joke!!! My kids were constantly burning up back there and so many issues with it cooling and the location of the vents is ridiculous!! I took that thing in so many times I literally can’t remember how many times it was. They did so many hard resets and it still would give errors. We had to replace the battery in 2019 because it kept dying on me. FYI that cabin camera goes out and has so many problems when I was reading the Honda forums. The push button to shift gears is dangerous too. Sometimes it wouldn’t catch and I’d be slamming the breaks so I wouldn’t hit something. I will say the one thing I really did like was the amount of space and the sliding 2nd row. If Honda could fix the AC and get rid of some of the electrical / computer issues then I might go back to one in the future.
Now I’m trying to find a vehicle that will have enough room for my 3 kids and their stuff. Looking at Tahoe, suburban, and Sienna.
This is really interesting, just to see the difference of ten years in my 2010 and the newest Odyssey. The shifter is mounted high on mine, although it's not push button; and I have a second glove box up top, which is our mask/sanitizer holder. I would miss that haha. But love the new safety features!
Whuuuut?? No ceiling vents??? No bueno.
The slide out large cup holders on the 10 will also be missed.
I own a 21 touring and I have to agree with the vents!! We live in Texas and when rear facing my youngest was always sweating . Even now both kids still complain of being too hot and easily bump the vents when getting in so it doesn’t blow in the right direction. Also , because the vehicle is so large it take awhile to cool down (use the remote start)and I have a hard time hearing my soft spoken 8 year old due to the space. My other complaint for the 21 model is on the touring model there was no wireless charger or ventilated seats(sweating in Texas again at almost the top model). Also, the gas mileage could be improved especially compared to the Sienna. For drop off the sliding doors are awesome but you do have to wait for them to fully close before letting off the break or it will beep and not close this sometimes seems to take forever and if the drop off helpers hit the close at the same time as you then you get into a power struggle with the doors. Overall I have owned a 18 and 21 Odyssey so I still love it but they fall short on the above. Also, as a 18’ owner I had the vacuum and never used it so don’t get hung up on that is just a dog and pony show item.
I traded a 2021 sienna for a 2019 odyssey elite (i wanted rear vacuum which is no longer an option for 2020+, its life with 6 messy kids)... Best decision ever.
I’ve probably bumped the view count of this video up enough to be posted in more peoples algorithms from watching this so many times, lol. We are waiting on our van right now, we ordered the blue elite and it should be ready in the next few weeks. I’m so excited! I drive a Hyundai Tucson right now with 2 kids in car seats, and hoping to have another soon.every time I go somewhere the interior seems to get smaller and smaller. Test drove an odyssey before Christmas and I loved the space in it! Only thing I wasn’t thrilled about was how low I seemed to be on the ground- coming from an suv (even a small one like my Tucson) that’s gonna take some getting used to.
Love your reviews, I’ve been watching them for pure entertainment:) thanks for the content!
Edited to add:
Got my Odyssey a week ago and love it! I didn’t realize when I test drove one earlier that you could raise and lower the seats! I Raised the driver seat up and I don’t feel like I’m low to the ground at all- feels the same as my suv. I love it!!!
Wondering how you like your odyssey? We are in the process of deciding between he sienna or odyssey elite 2022. Thanks!
@@shannonramsay1135 it hasn’t arrived yet- the estimated arrival date was feb 23-27th. Any day now!
@@shannonramsay1135 we decided on the odyssey because of car seat needs- we have two kids in car seats now and we are planning on having a couple more kids. From my research it seemed to be the best option for being able to reach third row car seats, especially since we will likely have two rear facing car seats in the second row. The magic sliding seats are what sealed the deal for us.
@@shannonramsay1135 got the van on Saturday- I’m LOVING it!!! I think we made the right choice to go with the Odyssey. Drives smooth as butter and is so quiet!
@@Edenorchard that’s awesome! We finally test drive one yesterday (they are hard to come by right now) and are planning on buying the Touring!!!
It just mini canned better than the Sienna. The Sienna is so comfortable and nicer but didn’t do all the Tetris stuff like the odyssey. And my husband who is 6’3 had more head room in the 3rd row in the Odyssey! So fingers crossed we can get our hands on one in a couple weeks 🤞🏻🙏🏻
I’ll never drive anything else haha! I have a 2021 EX and its been several months and I’m still so obsessed with it!
I think I’m obsessed… and I was saying before I would never want a minivan…
I have a 2011 Odyssey that I absolutely love... the one thing that they will have to change for me to upgrade is to put the vents back in the ceiling. I have two vents that rotate like airplane vents on each side in each row. I pray they still have the rear control lock... it keeps my littles from changing the temp themselves.
I’m loving this. Super disappointed about the vents through, in Florida ceiling vents are a must!
Dying to see the Kia carnival!!
She did a review on that a few months back!
Hey Kelly! So excited to see this tour! Did you have a chance to drive at all with the car seats installed? When I had a test drive, the memory driver seat caused my clek liing (seatbelt install) to flip upwards when it moved back once I parked 😳
you can turn this feature off :)
This is the best minivan !!! 😁😁😁
Would LOVE for you do a video to help decide between three row suv and a mini van!
I have the same cup and it’s nice to know how perfectly it fits in the door 😂
My wife and I are looking for for a new vehicle and your videos are the best ones since we are planning on having two more children soon (4 in total) best reviews for families
I like this van!
First of all your hilarious
Second totally agree on the back vents. They need to be in the ceiling.
3rd temperature controls best in the ceiling also.
I’ve had 2 Odysseys. Trying to decide if I stick with an Odyssey or go Kia Carnival
You are hilarious. My husband and I love watching your reviews. All the other reviews are bland and boring compared to yours. Keep up the good work! 👍
lol I love your reviews 6:45
She is a joy! Your husband is a very very lucky guy!
Can you do a video comparing this van with the other like Kia, Chrysler, Toyota then do an overall which you think is the best of them all?
I’m with you…why the heck would they remove the ceiling vents! If it weren’t for that this minivan would be perfect! Maybe with the 2022 refresh they’ll bring those back? 🤞🏻 If so, this will most definitely be our next vehicle purchase!
Ceiling vents are affected more by outside temps
I love the odysseys and I could totally see myself getting one, the only things I don’t like is the wood trim inside and the brake hold button under the dash
Love the reviews especially for a new family of three looking for a new car. Could you review a Subaru Outback?
Thank you very much!
I know this is an old video but I love you so much 😂
Getting one!
Great review! Did anyone buy a touring or elite? Why did you decided one way or another, thanks!
My family actually loves side vents simply because air is not coming straight in the face. One thing I would have liked in my 2022 elite is a wireless carplay instead of Wired. Our family love all your car reviews. Although Odyssey review was not there when we were shopping, your reviews for Carnival (is that a car name? :)), and other SUVs made us decide to go with Odyssey.
Another cool feature is the rear entertainment is, we just hooked a Amazon Firestick into HDMI port and it became our Mobile Home Theater!! :)
Did you need Wi-Fi for this?
I’m literally obsessed with your reviews. I love them! Thanks for showing the car seats too! New subscriber and think you’re awesome 😊🥰
I am not a mini van mom lol but I do love your videos so I’m watching anyway😂
Same! There is zero chance of me purchasing this vehicle but now I just love seeing the inside of vehicles 😂
@@peppjoy it’s like going to the parade of homes
Thank you 😊
is the tailgate mode an official feature or a hack? either way, good stuff.
When you did the tailgate mode, all I saw was "Drive in Movie" mode!! :)
Hahahaha you crack me up!! Sun chair haha
Instead of these mini vans, they should bring back the station wagon. We had a caprice classic and it was a huge, awesome, plush ride.
I have a 2018 Odyssey, bummer that they have since removed the vacuum!! Totally agree about the back vents ... Kids who get motion sickness need more airflow. Can you review a Ford expedition??
This is the only thing I was bummed about in the new Honda Odyssey. I loved the vacuum specially living in FL. I like doing a quick vacuum after the park outings.
It was between Toyota Sienna Hybrid and the Honda Odyssey because well you know reliability and resale value. I had a Pacifica and it started giving me transmission pulls in a matter of 2 years and it was only a 7 seater. I have 6 kids now so I was in the market for 8 seats and suvs have terrible 3rd row seats. So I looked into the Sienna and only the first 2 trims offer 8 seats. I felt it sluggish and no pep compared to the power of the odyssey and with hauling people on the daily that wasn’t going to work. Not to mention the availability on these vans due to the chip shortage 👎🏼 Happy with my 2022 Hotyssey 😉
The Sienna does have a sport mode that will wake it up a bit. Also, I find giving up 10+MPG a bit more than I was willing to do, thus we got the Sienna.
I agreed, the Seinna was disappointing in so many ways, especially considering the price. I test drove one and knew it was not the one, it was an awful ride in so many ways. The Oddessy impressed me so much that I am now getting the 2022 EX-L. So very happy with our decision.
Hi Kelly, if you were to choose odyssey or sienna hybrid?
I am literally obsessed with my odyssey. It’s my favorite car I’ve ever had. I don’t mind the size vents because that Honda air vents is a workhorse. My van cools down in like 30 seconds.
Thank you for this comment. I was wondering how well the vents function. We live in GA so quick cool down is key!
Totally agree! My kids never say they don’t have enough air!! And they complain about everything 🤣
This is helpful!!!
Does anyone know if the 3rd row middle seat will hold a convertible car seat forward facing?
The “are you behaving mirror” is how I will no be referring to that from here on out 😂😂😂
Ok I am a dude watching this review, and i must say i want a mini van now! That tail gate mode , space and utility.
I love the Honda
So knowing how irritating the vents are, do you find they are still worthless? Can you put ceiling vents in if you want?
I love the Odyssey. Just bought a 4Runner, but would not mind a Honda Odyssey Elite with the ultra reliable, naturally aspirated, Honda V6.
I’ve been waiting for this review!! I won’t buy a Honda Odyssey until they put the vents back on the ceiling!
Those vents (or lack there of) are a deal breaker. It gets HOT in Texas during summer. I can't imagine that would be enough AC to keep the cabin cool.
Haven’t seen you review a full-size pickup yet. I’m conflicted as well with minivans. My wife is the only child so her mom and dad come with us a lot on family trips. My father-in-law’s 2015 Town and Country is fine when not loaded down, but with 4 sometimes 5 adults and all their luggage (no kids yet) then that van is a dog, especially when I need to punch ahead of fast coming traffic or passing a truck. I literally have to floor it to get it moving quickly. I’m sure large, V6 crossovers suffer the same. Just not enough torque to get it moving with a heavy load. If Ford offered a full-size minivan with a 2.3 or even a 2.7 Ecoboost, I’d be all over that. Instead of a mini-VAN, it’s a mini-rocket ship!
heck why not the explorer st engine, I'm sure it would fit. I'm personally waiting for the Pacifica hellcat lol
God you made me excited for a mom van 🤣🤣🤣
Can you do a sienna mini van review? Would LOVE to which one you prefer and how they stack up. Thank you!
I have a 2021 Sienna tour here! ua-cam.com/video/Q2h5hTFoKBc/v-deo.html
You can lock the rear heat control on the front dash
You’re already embracing the van life according to your shoes 🤫
For real though I’m literally considering selling my f150 to get a van because they are just so much more useful unless you need to tow.
Hi Kelly, I just subscribed to your channel. As a father of 2 (ages 8 and 4), I know you do videos mostly of mom cars, but I was wondering if you could do a vehicle of a dad car (aka truck). I currently drive a 21 year old pickup truck (no tether hooks or anchor points. Shows you how old it is) that will soon need replaced (due to rusting). Thanks.
Wow my husbands truck will be 20 years old next year
I so wish the odyssey had ceiling vents… that would make it perfect to me. Also having the color/interior combo I want in stock would be awesome… 😫
Did they take them away? My 2015 has them!!
I'm due with my third baby in january and your videos have been Bible to me because I need a minivan. I want to buy the best one for me and I do NOT want a salesperson trying to help me with that. I was almost on board to pay more for this van until the vent situation....I live in florida. I cannot have it hot in the back of the car with my little kids. Sorry honda, but going with a carnival.
SO happy my videos could help with your decision making! thats why I do this!! the Carnival is a fantastic choice!
That's exactly what happened with us too! I didn't even know to look for ceiling vents before the car mom!
