Consumer Review of the Week: 2016 Honda Odyssey

CARS.COM — Honda didn’t need to tweak much with the 2016 Odyssey. Its well-rounded performance, competitive fuel economy and roomy interior are just a few reasons why it wound up as our 2016 choice for Best Car for Big Families — not to mention landing fourth on our 2016 Worry-Free Index. It’s not just mechanical performance that should leave shoppers worrying less, though: As one buyer notes, the Odyssey’s safety features help ease the anxiety of blind spots and parking lots.

Scrapchick55 from Pittsburg, Calif., writes:

“The EX-L has some great features. It notifies you if you start to ‘drift’ out of your lane or get too close to the car in front of you. When you put the right turn signal on, there is a camera that shows if you have anything in your blind spot; that is a great feature so you can safely change lanes! It has a backup camera so you can see what is behind you as you back into a parking spot or out of the driveway. The seats fit into your back for lumbar support and they are very comfortable. The suspension is great and the ride is smooth. It handles like a dream. I love this van!”
