The Odyssey is a beast. Effortless to drive with hilarious power. Rolls over rough roads like a tank. And a boatload of cargo space.

[@billbergen9169]

My parents have one and i love it.

If your looking for a minivan to haul the kiddies in you should absolutely buy a nissan 350z they need to grow some hair on their chest throw them in the trunk start them while their young. Absolute hilarious line keep up the good work Mark!

[@markroden]

Hahaha I’m glad you liked it bro

[@DragSlicks]

Hell yeah when I used to pick up my cousins kids I used to just strap them to the rollcage

[@phoenixgaming454]

If you're thinking about the 350Z and you have to haul kiddos, you should look at a Gen 1 Subaru Forester XT. They ran an Ad saying it was faster than a 350Z and could do so with 4 passengers and a dog in the car with you.

@magnetik297 ehh and i know this is a matter of taste, but personally, the fozzie looks better. I like the boxy, tuner wagons. 🤷‍♂️

[@placeholder292]

My father has a 2nd gen Odyssey (The one with the power sliding doors). Its pretty good, I have 3 brothers and we all fit inside it. Once the transmission broke and we could not use it for a while but he managed to fix it. Amazing car! We also live in Finland and its really rare here.

[@HW2019]

Rl1 or something different

[@Mike-hu3pp]

Been a minivan guy for 10 years now. Converted from a minitrucker after my first kid. They were cheaper than SUVs and still way more practical than current pickup trucks for day to day use. I can fit 4x8 sheets of plywood or drywall in the back of my van with the seats folded down. Can't do that with a 5.5' pickup bed and I dont want drywall getting caught in the rain on my drive home.

[@MountainsBreath]

Dude I have a truck and an suv and an odyssey and it’s so much easier to load and unload sheet material from the odyssey.

[@scoldschoolmusic1614]

Bought a used 2005 Odyssey in 2005 w/ 40,000 miles on it. 5 kids, countless beach vacations, hauling band equipment, wife's daily driver and 220,000 miles later. It has proven itself time and time again and runs a close second as the best/favorite vehicle I ever owned.

[@garrettandriotis3320]

My very first car was a Honda Odyssey. Very fun while I had it, ended up putting an 18 inch subwoofer in the back. Sadly transmission issues occurred a lot

[@markroden]

I would’ve loved one as a first car tbh

[@potatojake197]

Working on this rn lmaooo

[@Wilcoranking]

The transmission issues can be alleviated by regular fluid changes. I've heard that adding an cooler fixes the problem. They changed to a 5 speed tranny from 07 which is more durable

[@LilRamen]

Honestly the Odyssey is goated. I have a 3rd gen, 2008. Haul the band and our groupie & equipment? No problem. Have sex in the back? No problem, tinted windows even. Street race a Toyota Camry? No problem. Even on top of that, super comfortable ride, decent gas mileage, and super great value for the features you get. Many people overlook the value part of getting backup cameras, bluetooth, power tailgates, parking assists (on some trims of the 3rd gen), automatic sliding doors, leather heated seats, and a sunroof for less than $10k nowadays, with bulletproof reliability. Just had to express my love for the minivan.

[@TheBoss-pb1gd]

Great video Mark! My brother bought one for his wife and my sister drives one. They are unique mini vans. Not terrible to work on and have potential! Keep up the great content.

[@markroden]

Your brother is a smart man

I absolutely agree, if you’re going to get some thing with a compromised driving experience i.e. not a performance car, then go all in on either practicality or fuel savings. they are wonderful vehicles for just handling life.

I got my 2013 EXL for $7k and it's my favorite car I've owned! It's only 1s slower 0-60 than my aunt's 08 Mustang V6, and has the same motor Bisimoto used to make 1000+hp. It has a drink chiller, 3 different AC zones, heated side mirrors and auto dimming rear view, GREAT radio, etc. Parts are dirt cheap to buy new on the internet. AND 27mpg highway, which is only 2mpg less than my 98 Corolla, in a 4500lb brick with 250hp!

[@ezrahammond4238]

I got a 2015 odyssey and it’s ridiculously fast for a fwd car especially a mini van, also does some insane burnouts. This thing whips past bmws and can smoke most cars

I bought a used 2001 Odyssey off Facebook Marketplace for $900. It had a bad transmission so it would hard shift from 1st into 2nd. But despite that, it was a solid van for a year. And Honda just puts Vtech into everything so its kinda quick. Now I have a 2005 Honda Pilot and its a cherry. We need some Pilot builds lol so thats my plan haha.

[@dvtc8u]

whats cool about the odyssey is its very low roof line which made it stand out. the third gen RB series was the best looking in my opinion. too bad they never came manual.

I ended up buying an imported JDM E51 Elgrand which has the VQ35DE 3.5L V6. Very practical, you can camp in it & great fun when the traffic light turns green 😂 And that particular lump has a bit in common with the 350z

I’m the same way but with the Honda Pilots. I’m absolutely in love with my gen 1.0. Gonna be getting a new daily after winter so the Pilot can be turned into a Homie hauler track car. Gutted interior, roll cage, 6 bucket seats, rotate in engine chassis and a build a twin turbo j35a8, crv 6spd mt swap, possibly s center diff, rear mount radiator where my spare tire would go underneath ( radiator won’t fit with engine rotated, wheels and coils, and paint and cosmetics. I’d have a long expensive road a head of me because literally no one does anything else besides lifting the Pilots. There’s not even a damn cold air intake for my gen. I’m lucky to have a good friend that’s a Honda Tech and the fact going to school for welding. This cars gonna end up in my will after my death
