2012 Honda Odyssey Review

[@davidkpaulson]

This probably the only useful and real life review that I came upon! 6yrs is plenty of time to know a vehicle. Thank you 👍

[@CruiseControl1]

It’s still going strong and is now my daughters vehicle. It now has over 158k miles and only scheduled maintenance has been done.

[@davidkpaulson]

@@CruiseControl1 awesome 👍 I was looking at getting a used one for school run. Car prices are absurd, I’m not throwing away $50k.

[@CruiseControl1]

I understand that!

[@Daiqatana]

I drive a 2012 EX-L. I was glad to see someone else singing the Odyssey's praises. I'd absolutely buy this vehicle again.

[@CruiseControl1]

Thank you for your comment and for watching my channel, please like and subscribe for future content. I agree the Odyssey is amazing, we plan on keeping it in the family for a very long time. Although I wish I would have gotten a higher trim level like yours.

Hey! This review was awesome! I watched someone else’s, and never gained any helpful insights I was interested in as a prospective buyer. Thank you for taking your audience for a drive in it, and really showung ways the interior can be adjusted for versatility, giving examples. Showing that enirmous stuffed animal and how little space it takes up in the back compartment was HELPFUL! Folks see that, they gain a realistic perspective on how spacious that is. Having each of your family members’ input was both helpful and sweet. Thank you. You rock at presentations, but I think it helped that I believe you mean what you are saying.

[@CruiseControl1]

Thank you so much for your feedback and for watching my channel. I am glad the review was helpful as that is my main goal for my channel. If you ever have any questions please ask and I will do my best to help out. Have a great day.

I have the Touring, I'm so impressed about this vehicle. I had the EXL, and that aimed to look for the Touring, and now I´m looking for the Touring Elite, Is the best car Ever.. and it's not slow at all.

[@CruiseControl1]

I absolutely agree that this van is amazing. Since our ex did not have heated seats we just purchased heated seat covers on it and love it. Next we are going to install the backup camera.

[@vce.john1734]

Yup my dad 2016 odyssey drive like a dream with 104k miles been to many states but still running.

[@Salman-or8by]

Man I just bought 2012 honda odyssey today and same color as yours

[@CruiseControl1]

Congrats on getting your Odyssey, we love ours and we will never sell it.

[@osmankhan4657]

How many miles?

[@CruiseControl1]

148,000

[@hollywoodthedj1673]

@@CruiseControl1 .. I’m looking at a 2012 now white with grey interior very clean for $8,995 119,487 miles I’m thinking hard don’t have full cash to buy so I’d have to put some low payments on it but I’m thinking about it I want something I can lay around in at work at night comfortably when on long breaks I have a bunch of coworkers who have all different years of odyssey who have put mattresses in them and done customized things to get good sleep in them and I want something that I can travel with the fam in sometime!

[@TheBehemothHyper]

I think these are nice vans! I have a 2013 Honda Odyssey EX that it's in the same color and everything and it's great! I've went on many road trips in that exact van and it's nice.

[@CruiseControl1]

Thank you for the comment and I absolutely agree, I've used the van on many road trips and even put a twin bed in it and used it as a camper.

[@jupitercyclops6521]

You are basically asking honda to make a subaru! Love my outback, looking into a front wheel drive only car for next car but keeping subaru. Awd is mostly all what they do & all they've done for decades (except for a few rare from wheel drive models.). Lot of extra weight & more parts to break w/ a&wd, but it is incredible in bad weather. Love it!

[@CruiseControl1]

Last I checked Subaru does not make a minivan. Chrysler Pacifica has AWD, Toyota Sienna has AWD, so in my opinion for Honda to keep relevant the next Odyssey needs AWD.

[@vce.john1734]

I found a clean title 2012 odyssey exl for $6,500 hopefully my dad can buy it and do a money flip and it has 240k miles.

[@CruiseControl1]

That’s a deal as long as the transmission isn’t slipping

[@vce.john1734]

@@CruiseControl1 we’re going to see it and if we like we’re going to buy it.

[@CruiseControl1]

Sounds like a good plan

[@vce.john1734]

Sadly the car is sold because the person who want it take forever.

[@roxywoods9562]

Thanks for this review. I'm considering buying an Odyssey to replace my large gas guzzling SUV. Have you driven yours off-road? Does it spin? I'm concerned about the ground clearance and no AWD, as I live in the mountains of NC and have a steep gravel driveway.

[@CruiseControl1]

Great questions. Let me do my best to answer them. If you have a need for high ground clearance and AWD then this may not be for you. You might consider the Honda Pilot since it has awd and a little more ground clearance. I live in Colorado and as long as I have winter tires it does great on the road. I do not however have experience driving the odyssey off road. I hope that helps.

[@alexrojas1012]

I believe the sienna sits higher and has awd so that may be something you want to check out!

[@CruiseControl1]

The Sienna has awd and the new one is hybrid only so it gets the best mpg in the segment.
