My Honda Odyssey has and still runs quite well. Have had very few problems with it. Wing C September 26, Kenneth P. September 25, I have a Odyssey EX. I bought it in April with k and now have , miles on it. It runs as well as the day I bought it. I change the oil every 8 to 10, miles with Super Tech 5w30 full synthetic high mileage oil. Transmission gets drained and refilled every 25 to 30, Had valves adjusted at about k. Had a new timing belt kit with water pump installed at k and did it a 2nd time at k.
Engine and transmission both perform like a new car. I think , out of the engine is very possible. Maybe I can get another 40 or 50, out of the transmission. This car is a jewel. Lori September 15, At , miles I had to replace the alternator and then at , I had to replace the transmission. Everyone, however, appreciated how easy it was to find a comfortable driving position in the Honda. Chrysler has Honda beat in the minivan infotainment system wars. Early in the Odyssey's test, its logbook overflowed with tales of woe centered around a nonfunctional touchscreen display.
Remote starting the Honda or sometimes merely starting it the old-fashioned way from inside the vehicle would result in a blacked-out touchscreen, no audio, and occupant confusion.
Sometimes, the display would flicker back to life later, other times it could be revived by the following process: killing the ignition, exiting the vehicle, locking the doors and arming the alarm, unlocking the doors, reentering the vehicle, and restarting the car. A rather inconvenient procedure just to get the radio to work. After a local dealer verified our issue, it worked with Honda's tech support to determine that our Odyssey needed a new digital audio tuner unit.
Later, Apple CarPlay began acting up, an issue quickly resolved with a software update. We also had an issue where the active-noise-cancellation system was adding a booming noise rather than subtracting sound when coasting at certain speeds. Our dealer never fixed that one, but there's now a technical service bulletin that calls for replacing the electronic control module for that system. Which brings us to the functioning Honda infotainment screen's menus, which, intuitive and responsive to touch inputs though they may be, fall just short of Chrysler's brilliant Uconnect system.
Ditto the Odyssey's flip-down rear-seat entertainment screen, an option on the EX-L trim and standard on the Touring and Elite. The single screen is old-school compared to the dual tablet-like touchscreens that came affixed to the backs of both front seats in our long-term Pacifica, which offer built-in games and don't block the driver's view out the back when in use. On the flip side, the Honda's display is visible from both the second- and third-row seats; those in the Chrysler's third row would need to peer diagonally at one of the two touchscreens to watch a movie.
More than any other Honda-versus-Chrysler battle, the second-row seats were a source of disagreement amongst our staff. Chrysler sells the Pacifica with its clever Stow 'n Go second-row chairs, which can fold into cubbies beneath the floor. Folding them and the third-row seats creates a broad, flat load floor between the front seats and the liftgate.
When the Stow 'n Go chairs are not stowed, the wells they can tumble into function as vast hidden storage compartments. That versatility is a big reason behind the Chrysler receiving our nod as best minivan—one that doesn't apply to the hybrid model, which foregoes the folding seats and cubbies, filling the underfloor space with batteries instead.
Some holdouts weren't so convinced, preferring instead the Honda's vastly more comfortable second-row captain's chairs, which, unburdened from the requirement that they fold into the floor, boast thicker padding.
The same is true for the Pacifica hybrid's non-stowing seats, and the no-cost eight-passenger option of gas-only Pacificas. The Odyssey's captain's chairs are thus bulky and heavy, a liability when it comes time to remove them to make way for vehicle-filling cargo.
Owners may also choose to simply fold the seatbacks forward and stack stuff atop the chairs. Once removed, the seats also leave behind a lumpy floor surface that isn't as kind to slide-in cargo such as boxes or slabs of wood. Easier to remove is the narrow middle seat, which fits between the Honda's second-row chairs and can be slid forward so that parents might reach a small child from the front seats if needed.
Still, if you plan to regularly transition your minivan between people- and cargo-toting roles, the Pacifica is our hands-down recommendation; if you only make epic Home Depot runs once or twice a year, the Honda's rear seats are kinder to the human cargo you'll carry. After some 80, miles of vanning in the last few years, we'll put it this way: If maximum seat flexibility, ride comfort, and sleek looks are priorities, then the Pacifica is more your jam.
Those seeking maximum seating comfort and the best possible minivan-driving experience should sign up for an Odyssey. That's what online deputy editor Dave VanderWerp did—he purchased this very Honda at the end of its test, and it's now parked in his garage alongside a Acura NSX. You won't be disappointed by either van, provided you chose the one that fits your use case. Multiple drivers observed that they were comfortable behind the wheel for six or more hours at a time, while second-row passengers brooked no complaints about their accommodations, either, whether upright for sightseeing or reclined for napping.
Those folks also took advantage of the rear-seat entertainment system and its ability to not only play Blu-Ray DVDs, but also to stream shows, movies, and videos with built-in apps from PBS Kids, Epix, and others. The onboard HondaVac vacuum cleaner is a convenient way to quickly deal with lint, sand, Cheez-It crumbs, and the like. Yes, it is vastly more intuitive and graphically pleasing than older Honda units, but the menus nevertheless can be confusing for neophytes, and certain functions—choosing a satellite-radio station by keypad, as one example—are buried one or two layers too deep.
The transmission continues to get befuddled by certain downshift requests, especially those made with full-throttle input, when the speed automatic needs two or three beats to cinch up its britches and shuffle into a lower gear. The delay can make for a different type of cinching when trying to execute a pass on a rural two-lane. Ben Davis April 16, How long does a Honda Odyssey last?
