![]() ![]() It also immediately read my Apple iPhone, which is always a bonus. I continue to enjoy the two-screen setup, one for the radio stuff and one for everything else. The radio setup has been sufficiently upgraded, or at least it has in this trim. The bumps and potholes don’t really upset it, except for some semi-loud bangs in the cabin. Steering effort and overall handling are good - definitely tuned for comfort. Although, better safe than sorry I suppose. The pre-brake warning kept going off every time someone slowed down in front of me. I took the expressway home, so there was a good amount of traffic. ![]() Power is good from the V6 it’ll get up and go if you plant your foot. Those front wheels just pull and pull and pull, in whatever direction you point them. It was nice and slippery, too, but the Odyssey took it in stride. It was freezing on the recent morning I had the van, and I would have used that. This one seems expensive, but it does have nearly every option known to man, except for a heated steering wheel. ONLINE FEATURES EDITOR JAKE LINGEMAN: As far as minivans go, the 2015 Honda Odyssey is a good one. It doesn’t want for power, its infotainment system is easy to use (even if it’s a little clunky-looking) and it comes from a company with a solid reputation, recent airbag foibles notwithstanding. If not, I’ll say that it is a very credible offering anyway. Is the Honda Odyssey the right minivan for you? If you like built-in vacuums, absolutely. If you’re still concerned, invest in a set of winter tires.īut don’t cave in and get a crossover just because it seems more “rugged” (hint: it’s probably not) or “useful” (another hint: few things are more useful than a van). Though all-wheel drive is great for peace of mind, front-wheel drive handles itself just fine. But I think the road manners of the Honda show that you don’t necessarily need four driven wheels to get around in snowy conditions. Toyota likes to advertise that its Sienna van is available with all-wheel drive it’s the only such offering in the segment (of course, crossovers are basically vans, and lots of those come with AWD). Or, as in the case of this Honda, select a range-topping trim.įor a vehicle that seems destined to serve as a second living room, $45,430 isn’t outrageous - you do get a lot, including rear entertainment systems, tech-like blind-spot warnings and that aforementioned built-in vacuum. And despite sub-$30K starting prices, they all tend to get fairly expensive fairly quickly when you load them up with features. Generally, they’re all good and practical vehicles, all riding on the cushy side with comfy captain’s seats up front. I don’t have kids, but I think that’s one of those neat little features that seems really useful (the grown-ups I mentioned it to agreed) and helps set the Honda offering apart from its competitors.Īfter all, everyone from Chrysler to Kia offers minivans. ASSOCIATE EDITOR GRAHAM KOZAK: I had a couple of nights in the 2015 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite - which sounds a bit like a vaporwave band name, for what it’s worth - and I completely forgot to put the built-in HondaVac thing to the test. ![]()
