2021 Honda Odyssey | Family Review

[@Mamo878]

Perhaps the greatest family vehicle ever created. (really) And room in the back row for adults and all their stuff behind.

[@ydmf2]

Noticed your daughter seems to love this one. ☺️

[@MicahMuzio]

She was enamoured with the vacuum. The rest of the van was pretty nice too. 😂

[@caedom21]

I knew I became a real adult when 1) old spice after shave started smelling good and 2) I began love minivan reviews and bought my own Odyssey. My wife and I love your family reviews. 🦄

[@MicahMuzio]

Nothing wrong with being an adult. Hi5s and thanks to you and your wife!

[@LondonHasFallin]

Honda's V6 is bullet proof at this point. 💪🏽

[@jeffmorse645]

Have a single friend who bought a Honda Odyssey. All her friends asked her why she would get a family hauler like that being its just her and she said that it was a guarantee that she'd get invited whenever our group got together to go out and do something. She had the logical people mover!

[@jeffmorse645]

Many people now are so dumb about minivans. They outclass any SUV so much when it comes to hauling people. Parents back in the 80s and 90s had the right idea buying them by the millions. Nowadays they're just not "cool" enough and supposedly an SUV is - never mind they're compromised as a family vehicle by comparison. If you're consistently moving five or six people around minivans are the best thing ever.

[@flimgenco]

Jeff Morse I have a family of 3, and I’m leaning towards minivans myself. But I guess it just comes with getting older, as I used to like SUVs better.

[@darienmiller1032]

As much as i love vans, they have a HUGE marketing and image problem, at least in the states. That stigma doesn't exist in much of Asia for example, so this problem should hopefully be fixable.

[@flimgenco]

Randy Shackleford you mean the “soccer mom” or “mommobile” image? True, that seems to be a uniquely North American thing.

[@ciello___8307]

Also Minivans now are SOOO much better then minivans back then. Theres so much tech in them now and they drive good too! They aren't slow!

[@darienmiller1032]

@@ciello___8307 Minivans Defintely aren't slow, but they're not really fast either. It would be so interesting if a performance light variant were to be released, like a Kia Sedona N line, an Odyssey Type R or a Pacifica SRT

[@ihonzawa]

From a former finance manager of a Honda dealership, your review was spot-on! I remember having to study endless product information videos when I started out as a salesperson and it became a mundane (yet necessary!) process. You've summed up hours of information into a short and very detailed video! (Also a huge fan of your LA flights!)

[@MicahMuzio]

You’re very kind. Cheers!

[@JaredSVX]

I feel like they want backwards on the design... The 2011 Odyssey was such a good looking mini-van... Yes I know a contradictory statement 😂

[@iOB]

Man, I always enjoy your chemistry! Y'all seem genuinely happy together!

[@JenniferWilliams-qv8ue]

We absolutely love our Honda Odyssey! It makes road trips a breeze!

[@gtb5]

Always amazed at how Odyssey and Sienna compete each other to make improvements.

[@WestUCoog]

[@jbrenofficial]

I'm single and will probably never buy a minivan but I love your family reviews! Actually useful information

[@MicahMuzio]

Never say never. If you ever decide to travel the country solving mysteries, you'll want a van. 😁

[@mdrudholm]

@@MicahMuzio what kind of van though? Hmm. Some mystery machine.

@@MicahMuzio... Plenty of space to bring along some friends and a pet.

[@dynamicforged]

Let's come back after a few years when you get married and have kids. I will wait.

[@some1indsm]

I love minivans! I actually drove a 97 Mazda MPV All-Sport when I was in high school and had a Chevy Uplander for about 5 years. So damn comfortable and useful!

[@MicahMuzio]

So true. Minivans don't get the respect they deserve.

[@dscharlesworth1]

PR people for Honda: were going emphasize the Odyssey's raw sexual energy. That will bring the people in.

[@MicahMuzio]

😂

[@ciello___8307]

The odyssey looks like it has a lot of space for car sex not gonna lie

[@phelens4781]

I owned a 2016 EXL & 2010. It pained me to sell them both as I’’m moving overseas... Fantastic vehicles...

[@tombomombodombo]

Omg, the emotional park about your newborn was sooo emotional! We have a little girl and we got this same van recently! Looking forward to making lots of memories with the family in it.

[@Parker53151]

I’m eager to see the new Chrysler Iliad go head to head with the Honda Odyssey. Even though I’m a homer, I don’t know which I’d pick.

[@KenNewberry]

I like the built in vacuum cleaner.

[@Niteshmc]

Hey, did you see the new Honda Vacuum? It comes with a minivan attached to it!

[@citibear57]

It sucks. Literally.

[@K03sport]

...it still has to be emptied (bag or canister?)

[@rachellouissaint-perez6347]

Thank you for helping me make my decision a little easier when deciding on which minivan to purchase. I love your chemistry and make car reviews so enjoyable

[@MicahMuzio]

Thanks so much for the kind comment, Rachel. Glad we could help!!

[@kingofwake]

Great review as always! We love our 2019 Odyssey

[@kencoleman8929]

Great family review, great vehicle, here's a virtual high five! Gotta say though, the upcoming KIA Sedona/Carnival is the one making me actually consider purchasing a mini van. 🙌👌👏👏👏

[@flimgenco]

I actually liked the video while the ad before the video was still playing 😂😂😂 family review of a family van, about to be viewed by a family man. This oughta be good 😄

Aw, thanks Francis!

[@jayparks3051]

Yes Honda! Love watching the Muzios! ❤️

[@shopwithaaron]

That elephant in the way back of the minivan....Are we shopping for something new for Evie and darling daughter?? You three always have fun and inform! THX!

[@MicahMuzio]

Yeah, it might be time to upgrade Evie's CR-V. We're still mulling out options.

[@coffeekhan]

Nice review! Honda needs to send you a commission check for the EX we are purchasing tomorrow. This review, and Chris Wardlaw's, convinced me to give it a test. So happy I did. I've driven a lot of cars, and this is the best vehicle I've driven. Ever. Very excited about getting my hands on this one tomorrow!

[@MicahMuzio]

We're just sharing what we observe but I'm so pleased you found our review useful. Congrats on the new van!

[@7728abbott]

Great video! Enjoyed it!

[@jamesvelvet3612]

Not gonna lie, no kids, no family, no dog but I really like this. Makes so much more sense than a SUV

[@rdoan76]

My aunt and uncle live by Knott’s Berry Farm. I haven’t been there since 1986 even though I have tons of family that live around there. Oh and great video as always.

[@iveyfaganjr605]

We have the 2013 Honda Odyssey. This interior looks amazing! Not that big of a fan about the exterior though.

[@robmuzz]

I don't remember the last time I finished a motoring review thinking "lovely!"

[@pdlynch4330]

I love my Odyssey....and my Mustang on weekends.. :)

[@wea1978]

You guys should do a Halloween costume review so Evie can dress up as Velma and say Jinkies everytime there is a good car feature she likes

[@MicahMuzio]

Would you choose as 2021 Odyssey over the Toyota Sienna and Chrysler Pacifica?

[@tylerjosephson4205]

I’d choose a Pacifica especially for the hybrid option.. but they’ve really changed up the odyssey over the years.

[@Parker53151]

I’d wait a bit until I could drive Kia’s new minivan.

[@vluu80]

I would only consider a hybrid or PHEV moving forward, especially on a large vehicle. This eliminates the Odyssey, despite the fact that I like the sliding second row seats. As much as I really like the design of the Pacifica, I don't trust Chrysler/Fiat. The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is eliminated due to the recent recall over fire risk, raising questions about possible design or component quality issues. I would not buy a vehicle that might burn down the house... why I also don't trust Hyundai/Kia, who also have recalls over fire risk. Toyota has a long history of reliability and is the leader with hybrid technology, so Sienna hybrid wins by default. I had concerns about the non-removable second row seats, but it has been suggested that they slide all the way forward to behind the first row seats, which should make removing them less important for cargo carrying purposes.

[@Mamo878]

@@tylerjosephson4205 The Pacifica seems good on paper but the reality is that reliability (and resale) is behind the Sienna and Odyssey.

[@susanjspaulding]

Yes, I would choose the Odyssey over the Sienna and anything Chrysler makes!! :)

These family reviews continue to improve. I think I know why. It's the more active participation of the young one. When is she going to become the host?

Hey Micah! Hope you and the family are doing well my friend! I'm kinda torn between this and the 2021 Sienna. AWD in our snowy Virginia winters doesn't seem like a bad idea..... Then again, a 4Runner TRD Pro wouldn't be too shabby! Looking forward to flying with you next time I'm in on SoCal. Cheers, Dave

[@JoshuaEstevao]

This makes me wanna have a family so I can get an Odyssey 😂

[@nelsonricciardi7087]

Would get one if I could turn VCM off. I had too many issues with it in my Accord.

[@thecavsloth9760]

You can easily turn off the VCM. Just Google : VCM muzzler. There a number of companies that make them. I bought mine on eBay for about $75 and it took 5 minutes to install. Look at some of the Odyssey forums. It's highly recommend that you disable that feature for long term reliability. Hope that helps.

[@nelsonricciardi7087]

@@thecavsloth9760 I know. Very familiar with it. But honestly, I have no appetite to deal with this stuff. VCM should not be there to begin with. And since it is, Honda should give us the ability to switch it off. I appreciate your reply. Thank you, Sir.

[@ocalakid55]

The Two Items that Honda does not put on any of their vehicles is 1) The Birds eye surround vision camera and the rear view mirror does not have a camera view that gives you an extra wide view of what is behind you. On one of the Honda Models you can get camera views in the center stack when you use your turn signal . Is it available on the mini van ?

[@RaulBrv]

Damn. I was hoping you would family review the Polestar.

[@MicahMuzio]

It would've been nice to have my wife and kiddo along for the Polestar drive. Hopefully we can get it again for Micah Drives.

[@pdlynch4330]

Your family is awesome...that kid is going to keep you busy later on...

[@GokalpSelcuk]

Great review, currently have a 2005, hoping to upgrade with the 2018 model. The convenience of a minivan is unmatched in my opinion.

[@nikhilkaarthik714]

Was waiting for this one !!

[@meadmaker4525]

The Odyssey is one of the best minivans out there, but there's no way I'd ever pay 50K for one. Ever. Just not worth the money. Even the higher trim models are filled with cheap, low-end plastics and materials, and fit and finish are hit and miss. Overall reliability is pretty good, though, as my sister literally drove the wheels off one. So, I guess there's that.

[@iamtherjp]

"I remember making a child too" - LOL - loved this video

[@xFactoryUSA]

Even seeing one in person earlier, i swore it was an older model.

[@swimgc]

Another fabulous review as usual. I am in the market for a minivan. How does the lane centering and stop and go compare to TSS 2.0 and Kia Telluride ? They seem to be the gold standard for level 2 driver assistance.

[@kybrowns]

I own a 2009, still going strong. However, thinking about upgrading. I heard Honda was having some issues with the 10 speed. Did they get those issues fixed?

[@rowanmal]

we have a 2019 pilot with the 10 speed. Overall it’s a perfectly fine transmission and has no problems. Every once in a while it takes like a second too long to upshift but it doesn’t really bother me, and the fuel economy is incredible. Honda’s are incredible vehicles. The odyssey is great!!

[@rowanmal]

I’m also pretty sure they’ve improved it since then

[@csh000]

The 10 speed in my 2019 Odyssey has been perfect. I bought the higher trim to avoid the problematic 9speed in the lower trims.

Really curious how this compares to the 2021 Kia Sedona. Currently have a 2012 Sedona that is running great but looking to change out. In 2012 we got the Kia maxed out at 34K. The comparable Odyssey was 46K at the time. Hope you have a chance to review in the future.

[@mcmc-o9w]

those 2nd row seats are a pain to remove. i ended up scratching the lower plastics just trying to lift them and dropping them since they're too heavy. The only silver lining is that it's at the bottom of the seat or obstructed from plain view so it's not too bad

[@MicahMuzio]

Absolutely. The 2nd row seats are super heavy and awkward to remove.

[@dazzlingd]

I can’t believe they put fold flat middle seats in for the 2021. Our 2019 Odyssey seats only fold forward 45 degrees, which is a total PITA when you want to load in 8’x4’ wall panels and don’t want to take the seats out. You could fold the seats flat in the previous generation.

[@toyota420xp]

Does this front end look anything like a 2016 nissan quest

[@toddsmith9677]

Anyone else having trouble with the computer? Wee had to change the battery and now the panel says multiple things are wrong. We took it back to the dealer and they said the back up camera is broken. WTF? Why would the back up camera affect about 10 warning systems? Now they want 1500 for a camera!

[@tradersato]

So in parting, you tell everyone to wait for the 2022 hybrid (hopefully) that Honda needs to pull out of their hat... right?

I will never get used to the weird side styling (kinks and creases). The name should be spelled 'ODDyssey'. Otherwise it seems like a pretty capable van. And what's so 'mini' about this entire category of 'minivans'? I think it's about time that everyone drops the prefix 'mini' from this category 🙄. One more thing, Micah. You give credits at the end to your wife and yourself, but shouldn't you include your daughter as the 'Official Back Seat Tester'? 😉
