  • Honda has continued to show their commitment to the minivan segment, and have been rewarded with a legion of faithful fans. So, 2021 sees a host of updates to keep those fans happy, as well as perhaps give some new households reasons to think twice before buying that “less practical” crossover. This 2021 Honda Odyssey has plenty to offer families, as well as maybe even a little something for the sports car fans as well.

    I love my 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite. With 4 kids, it just makes life easier. The sound system could be a bit clearer and louder but it still works great. The suspension is a bit soft in the rear but add Timbren suspension enhancement on the rear and it handles much better. Factor in a roof rack and tow hitch because it doesn't come stock and is a bit expensive. I get about 25mpgs mixed driving between gas fill ups. and on the highway, I've seen as high as 30mpgs. Overall I am still happy with my purchase two years later.

    • @ruley73
      @ruley73 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @Beelzebot The Pacifica won't be a "junkyard filler." CR withdrew it's recommendation of the 2018 Honda Odyssey and hasn't recommended it since. The 2020 Chrysler Pacifica actually scored better than the 2020 Odyssey in overall reliability. Resale value is basically irrelevant for a minivan. Parents aren't buying them and trading them in every 3 years. Have fun removing those 68 lbs 2nd row seats from your Odyssey too. I'll have all my seats stowed into the floor before you get one out.

    • @Bartonovich52
      @Bartonovich52 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @ Beelzebot
      You obviously don’t remember all the problems the Odyssey had with transmissions.
      FCA products are junkyard fillers only because of depreciation. And they depreciate only because they are fleet vehicles and lease returns whereas Honda doesn’t do that.
      Otherwise people wouldn’t think twice of putting a new transmission in an FCA vehicle. Just like they don’t think twice about replacing head gaskets on Subarus after 80K where a GM car that has one blown at 200K “isn’t worth it”.
      Honda is the only vehicle I’ve ever owned with a class-action suit against it (1.5 turbo engine and oil dilution). And that includes lots of so-called “crappy” domestic brands.

      Modern day "mini" vans are comparable in size and mass to the GM full size vans 72-96. They're much denser though, meaning there is less weight from metal chassis and powertrain components and more weight in trim and accessories. The Transit connect is the closest thing to a minivan that is available here in the US these days. Nissan and FCA vans are a bit smaller and meant for cargo only
