What Camerons Car Reviews has to say about the Odyssey: The Honda Odyssey has always been one of Honda's most popular cars and has always been one of the best selling cars in America. For 2014, the Odyssey get's slightly refreshed with a reworked interior design and exterior design with some minor cosmetic changes. Also new for 2014 is Honda's Lane Watch system and Honda's Link infotainment system. Power in this minivan comes from a 3.5 L V6 which is the same as last year's except for now it's made into a new 6-Speed Automatic on every trim level expect to earn about 19 in the city and 28 on the highway. On the interior you will find it to be very utilitarian which isn't a bad thing as soft touch materials are all needed in the most desirable places like the center console and the door armrest. Cargo capacity remains to be a very strong selling point in the Odyssey, however every minivan tends to do very well in cargo capacity. Very agile handling also remains in the Odyssey and ever since the beginning this people mover always did very well in driving dynamics. Compared to it's competitors the Odyssey does very well in every single category except for price, if budget is a problem a more suitable choice would include the Dodge Grand Caravan, but if budget isn't a problem the Odyssey should most certainly be put on the test drive list but other minivans like the Toyota Sienna, Nissan Quest, and the Chrysler Town & Country should also be considered.

Great review! I'm looking at a used version of this model. Honda was ahead of its time!

[@RodrinBird]

This is one bad ass minivan that blows away the competition by very, very far.. One thing though, I'd definitely get the EX model since the LX is lacking quite a few a couple of grands more.. Great review!

[@audreyhare3006]

Honda’s are very reliable and the Odyssey is definitely a must when it comes to minivans. My dad has a 2009 Odyssey. I drove it around our neighborhood the other night and it also drives well, too!

[@FanaticGuide]

This is my top rated minivan

[@MrDidier27]

I love my van. Best of the beast

[@seabass9302000]

Thanks cameron

[@andrewcook8281]

Don't apologize for the music, country music kicks butt!

[@123chunhou]

The odyssey with the exception of the 2014 fit is the only American Honda that has the old school honda chime

[@123chunhou]

Also the pilot and cross tour

[@mrcheezy03]

They totally made the ex worth buying, usually you have to aim for the leather models for those options

[@catherine281975]

Wow

[@Gladiator1972]

what's in the space where the HondaVac is in the TE in the other trims?

[@47edna]

[@marklambert2247]

Just traded off our 2007 Odyseey for a new 2014 EX....Like the drive train however i think Honda has missed the boat on other items 2007 was much better in storage and cup holders.

[@casandrareid30]

I just got the 2014 and I did it lacks a lit of stuff the 2007 had

[@Ezlivin]

Settle down people. He apologized for the music because he was afraid it was too loud and would compete with his voiceover.

[@asrockrpg]

[@janeburdette2259]

[@8000RPMS]

1:27 "sorry for the music on the background" why? cause is country music? would you have said the same if it was that garbage rap?

[@jowowetan]

Odyssey is one of the "LEAST" popular honda, together with Insight and CR-Z. Ongoing VCM problem, occasional transmission problem, excessive oil consumption - check forums before you buy. Timing belt, power steering belt, considered to be the least reliable Honda - Goodbye, Honda.

[@solongsucka]

Noone gives a shit about your opinion. If you ain't buying keep moving.

[@jowowetan]

Your shitty comment has no value, move on. For those before purchasing an Odyssey or a Honda with VCM, read: 1. community.cartalk.com/discussion/2187192/variable-cylinder-management-engine-honda-v6-vcm 2. www.autoblog.com/2013/10/23/honda-settles-class-action-lawsuit-engines/

[@jowowetan]

First of, I stated facts - the links are the proof. You can use your derogatory remarks all day long and it's your money at the end whether you buy your Honduh or a boat nobody cares.

[@audreyhare3006]

Ok, it’s not that way anymore. Honda has heard the complaints from its customers and they have put in a ton of effort to fix those problems. So it’s all good now. Good grief.
