The Minivan represents too many enthusiasts the end of the line. The useful vehicle for parents, families, and road trips is also associated with the end of owning your favorite sports car, project car, or your place in the car community. It is of course a little bit overdramatic but at the end of the day it has some truth to it. This 1995 Honda Odyssey was bought for $1300 bucks thanks to a lucky coin toss between the previous owner and the buyer. Since it was purchased the owner truly tried to make it his own. This Honda Odyssey has a homemade paint job with a beautiful pearl added, a set of BC racing coil overs, some cosmetic upgrades, and wheels and tires bring it all together. So at the end of the day is it true you can modify anything as long as you have the patience and passion? Let's go for a drive and find out! New uploads every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday!

I think that crossovers and suvs have replaced minivans as the “uncool end” to a car guys journey. Minivans now are almost cool (If you get the right one) just like wagons have become cool.

[@hotpinkfryingpan7615]

this. I hate crossovers because they've replaced a lot of cars that we enthusiasts loved, while minivans were at least their own separate entity. There was no Odyssey before this one, but there was an eclipse, a lancer, a mustang, etc.

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Well said!

[@jacehackworth6413]

Jake Boyden a lot of people with crossovers really should get a minivan but they don’t so they can pretend like they are still cool. The denial makes them way more uncool than a minivan used to be, especially since they are less practical, and now that there’s something to compare it to I respect minivans and their owners for their honesty.

My only time driving a minivan was after a party. I don’t drink but my friend did so after he drove about a mile I made him switch with me and I drove home. It was an early 2000’s Odyssey that for some reason drove pretty nice, I don’t remember much about the driving experience but it surprised me. What also surprised me was when he told me later that he stole the car from his mom.

[@rmn206]

This video makes me miss my 1997 oddessy it was the squad whip in high school. I would slide the van in the rain in the school parking lot, the odometer stopped working after 240k. It leaked oil and coolant but never overheated. It was easy to drive and reliable.

I grew up with a Ford Windstar, too! When I first got into cars I wanted a Honda Odyssey because I loved the idea of being able to get all my friends together to go places.

[@Tunerguy21]

Its important that you mentioned the whole "giving up the sports car and starting a family" thing, because I think that's a bit part of it. The "uncool" follows whatever is the poster child for giving up on being interesting (or in the case of nowadays, not caring at all to begin with). For the longest time, that mantle was taken up by the van and in some instances the SUV, but now I think that's been taken by the crossover. Its more about whatever demographic adopts them I think rather than the type of car itself.

[@Jedi391]

The CUV is the ultimate uncool car. Any Honda Odyssey’s are far better than a CUV.

My first vehicle was a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan EX with the 3.8 and tow package. I got aftermarket suspension to raise it 2 inches, HID conversion headlights, cold air intake, reprogrammed ECU, and all the trim and wheels murdered out. It was amazing. Great in winter and great as a 18 year old towing a boat with 5 other friends and gear up top. Also, take the seats out and put like 12 people in it for heading to parties

I have this exact van but in red, same year even, but it’s been sitting in our driveway now for 7 years. It was the hand me down car that we all learnt how to drive on. The interior is still amazing but the paint is fading severely and being in Canada there’s major rest everywhere. Still an amazing car and have great memories from highschool in it.

[@ItzzzBeamo]

The first car I had unlimited access to as a High School student was a 2000 Mazda MPV. Hands down best first minivan ever. It's small for a Minivan, but the space inside is infinitely useable. I had a sunroof so I was ballin 24/7. It had an extremely tight turning radius so it was the easiest car to parallel park, especially considering the rear window *was* the back of the car, so the dimensions were extremely easy to learn as a driver. Wouldn't have driven any other van.

[@g.c.brooks7214]

The OG gen 1 Odyssey is pretty cool its basically a 90s era Accord with a van body. From what I understand van culture is still alive and well in Japan. So I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to get a body kit and some JDM bolt on upgrades

[@rustybearden1800]

Sorry, but I'm a car guy and I had TWO of these, both fully optioned EX models and I LOVED them! Roomy, comfortable, smooth, quiet, great visibility, good handling, (for a minivan), room for 6 and their luggage, great stereo, good AC and very economical. So comfortable. Not a fast vehicle, these are not red light racers but you get up to speed very quickly and they want to cruise at 80 mph all day long. Perfect outdoor activity vehicle as you can flip the rear seat down, take the middle seats out and haul just about anything and everything you need for outdoor fun. A perfect long distance traveling vehicle, perfect for bombing down the highway, gobbling miles up by the thousands, literally invisible to the HP ( who's pulling over a minivan when that red Mustang just flew by on the fast lane?) I put 260k miles on my first one before an idiot friend totaled it - got a 6 grand payout from my insurance and promptly bought another one that I put 380k on before it laid down on the side of the road and died. Broke my heart. Love these vehicles (they're quite rare now) and I always thought they would be a great sleeper tuner car. I stress again that you are INVISIBLE in these cars - no one gives a shit or notices you - just a bland minivan going by. If I could find another mint, low mileage one I would buy it in a heartbeat and lovingly preserve it as a low key travel/weekend car. The key is to buy the early models before 1997 as they were built in Japan and had a noticeable better build quality and solidity. Glad to see my first gen Odyssey get a little love!

[@malasoat1]

I love minivans compared to SUVs or crossovers. The average minivan is often more practical than the average 3 row suv or crossover due to equal or better cabin and cargo capacity. I hate how everyone buys SUVs/crossovers and the never take it off road and justify it by saying they need the cargo space as if hatchbacks and wagons don't provide the same amount. I get it if you need something with awd or live in an area where you need a few more inches of ground clearance, but the average mom/mall crawler does not need an SUV/crossover

i love both bout the same

I got a 2011 Odyssey a few months ago as a film/support vehicle and just nice road tripper, I thought I was going to hate driving it but other than just being extremely numb and boring it's actually really nice to drive and ultimately has made my life a lot easier, plus it being boring to drive makes my Miata more fun to drive, but hopefully we'll change that within the next year, I'm planning on lowering it and wrapping it with a Spoon livery

My first car! Euro spec....which was called Honda Shuttle. So why I bought it? 1) I had to haul plenty of stuff around at the time 2) I needed something reliable 3) Hondas are relaiable 4) Rare af in europe Drove it around like 3 years. It met all my expectations. Never let me down and indeed It was rare. There was only one problem. The rust! Still miss it. One day I'll buy one and stance it ;)

[@BobThe9534]

[@HowtoRestoreHeadlights]

Eyyooo! Gotta love it! According to the plate, they still own this van 💪 Winning

[@smedleybutler1969]

I been driving minivans since 95 it is the best vehicle on the road!

[@pinkfiffty3094]

Dude sooo awesome to see you review a van, So many people have such a negative perception of vans, one positive of this is it's kind of cool because when you do see really nice one it stands out that much more but really they can be great! I always really liked the look of the 2nd gen odyssey modified but 3rd gens really caught my attention too, and is now my favorite. You should really check out a 3rd gen I sat in 2nd and it felt like a van but 3rd gen feels almost like you're sitting in in accord but slightly higher up, I ended up test driving my buddys 3rd gen and now own a 2005 Odyssey It also drives similar turn accord obviously there's a little more weight to it but I doesn't feel super sloshy like a suburban more like a sedan with some extra weight. Also really enjoy some of the newer siennas. Shoutout to @Valkulture, @Bisomoto, @Jserieshonda for really showing people what vans can be about, they all inspired me big time to get a van and to mod mine, only done a few small thing so far but have plans for more!

I am 51 with three girls and a proud owner of the best year Odyssey, the Vtec equipped 1998! Has 230K and I swear, seems to run better than when I got it at 130K. Not modded by any means, but my girls LOVE this thing. Easy to work on, and just plain fun to drive. They do look sharp lowered and with wheels...

[@SuperHonkyPodcast]

First time I got road head was in a Mini Van. I've loved them ever since. 😆

[@Ontheroad13]

Great idea with the Accord wagon! I’m debating on what my next project will be. I’ve always been a VW guy and kinda want to do a JDM project. Wagon would be sick.

[@Midnight_Oil_MFG.]

I'm happy everyone agrees that crossovers are the ultimate uncool car and not minivans haha

[@juanyoi87]

In college I drive a Dodge Grand Caravan. PartyVan. It was fun. Now I have a Awd 2015 Toyota Sienna. Do I love it. Hellz yea. Never get stuck in the snow and yes it likes to party. I saw one at the Detroit cobo auto show with 22’ wheels. Lounge chairs for the rear seats and a full 20’ screen tv. I’ll send you a picture it was crazy.

[@rideakhomie]

I had the same van in high school and I raced my friends lifted f150 in the snow on the way home from school. Good times.

[@jamisgood21]

Dude, If was i was local I would totally build a sleeper Accord wagon with you! I'm about the sleeper life man!

[@pauljs75]

Sienna's aren't slow for their size, since they have that 263 HP Toyota GR-series 3.4L V6 that's also found in the V6 Camry. You wouldn't think it, but they can be quicker in a straight line than many average sedans out there. Also keep in mind that in some cases the minivan took over the role of the light work truck, since a lot of companies gave up on making those. (Big truck or nothing, and the prices on those are steep now.) And the utility and room of a minivan with the rear seats removed is a bit hard to beat if it doesn't need to see any off-road use.

[@larryzeldin7561]

Minivans and vans are the perfect vehicles for the pandemic. Plenty of space to social distance in vans.

[@HowardLutherGilsonIV]

My first car was a 1997 Honda Odyssey....fucking loved that car. It wasn't fast, or cool, or good looking at all...but that thing got me across the country, helped me move to a from college, and got all my drunk-ass friends to parties and hockey games. Total respect to the mini van. Also, the mini van rubber with people in the rear seat with stock suspension...so nothing special there.

[@ElioRose]

David: Can minivans ever be cool? Japan: Hold my Sake...

[@snyperwulffgaming9575]

Everyone hates on the Minivan until you realize how much space you can have available with it. I was wary, but it actually is really nice.
