The Honda Odyssey makes it fun to own a minivan

I couldn't believe how nice it looks and all of the little bells and whistles on it! On the day we test drove it, we decided that we didn't need to go to anymore car dealers!

Best Value for the money. 2018 Honda Odyssey Ex.

I am quite surprised on how Honda stepped up their game on the new 2018 Odyssey. We purchased the vehicle on November 2017. The van drives and handles like a car with just minimal body sway. It has ample power to merge in to the freeway and the 9-speed is buttery smooth! Again, you can't beat this mini van when it comes to basic and reliable transportation for the family.

Best family mini van

Great car kid friendly. Move from town and country. The Pacifica was nothing compared to the Odessy. Very quiet and smooth drive. Best mini van out there in all aspects.

Good design for family with young baby

Odyssey is good design for family with young babies, it easy to take care for them in the car. most time my wife drive it with 3 kids, it's really good for her to take the car seat, and for people go to 3rd raw.

Driving Hondas since 1979

Best Odyssey yet. I have owned and driven Honda Odysseys since they were first introduced many years ago.Always reliable, comfortable and trouble free. Always retained high sales or trade in value. Much more than any domestic counterparts.

Mini vans aren't just grocery-getters any more.

This van is not just practical for the entire family with rear entertainment, lots of cargo, and different configurations, but also fun to drive. The Honda Sensing is a must have for safety on the road. The only thing I wish we had but don't is the forward and rear parking assist to alert you with proximity of objects in front/behind you. The ride is superb going down the interstate or in town. All the overall touches and extras inside just add to the luxurious overall feel of the van.

Family Friendly Van

For the most part I love my new van. It is wide enough that we can fit all three kids in the middle row, including a car seat. This allows us to fold down the back bench, which is awesome for long trips. The console screen is easy to use. I haven't had any issues finding what I need. My kids love the DVD player, and so do I. It made a 10 hour drive so much easier. I loved that we didn't have to cart around portable DVD players. It is so much fun to drive. It is smooth and accelerates fast. I have to pay attention to how fast I am going, or before I know it I am above the speed limit. We had no issues going up steep incline as well. Most of my issues I have with the van are cosmetic. My biggest issue is the cup holders. They are so tiny you can hardly fit anything in them. I am going to buy an insert that will hopefully hold a bigger water bottle, but I shouldn't have to do that for the amount of money we spent on this vehicle. I also dislike the steering wheel. It is too smooth and the diameter is on the small side. I found my hands aching on a long drive. To remedy this, I am considering buying a steering wheal cover. Even though the seats are plush and comfortable for everyone in my family, I have a hard time with them. On our first big trip I found my right hip hurting. After a while I realized that the seat was putting pressure in just the right spot to cause the pain. Now anytime I get in the van to drive, it doesn't take long for that pressure point to start hurting. If it continues, I will have to sit on a cushion when we go on long drives, or I wont be able to walk. This was really frustrating because the seat comfort was one of the main buying factors for us. Like I said I am the only one in my family who has an issue. My husband loves the comfort of the seats, and I would too if it wasn't for the one pressure point in my hip, but I have hip problems anyways. Which is besides the point. For my husband I would have to say the biggest issue with the van is the speakers. There are the front speakers, and then the speakers for the back which are located on the sliding doors, right behind the front seats. How are these speakers for the back. If you sit in the back row, you have trouble hearing what is playing. He is trying to rig up some type of portable speaker for the back seat. We will probably end up taking it somewhere to have speakers installed in the back, but will have to save up money for that.

Great Family Vehicle

I was greeted by John K. with lots of enthusiasm as we entered the showroom. After test driving a vehicle we sat down to work the numbers. The numbers did not meet our approval so I said thank you but no thank you and rose to leave. John would not accept that and said please wait while I take this to my boss. Soon the manager was involved and reworked the numbers to our complete satisfaction. By now the manager was involved and between the two of them we had the best experience ever at a car dealership and they were able to work out a deal with a bank that was able to meet our needs. We were given a complete vehicle overall operation of accessories of our new 2018 Honda Odyssey.This is something we have never experienced before in the purchase of a car. I recommend you give these guys a chance to make you the happy owner of a vehicle of your choice. They will work to make the deal acceptable for you. I will always give them first opportunity of any vehicle I purchase in the future. As far as our salesman....We purchased our new 2018 Honda Odyssey with John K.s help and couldn't be happier. We found the vehicle originally online via a different website and after calling Honda, they confirmed that they did have it on their lot and we could see it. Living 5 minutes away, this was important to us, so that we didn't drive out there to be disappointed. When we arrived at the dealership, the Odyssey was parked in the front ready and waiting for us to test drive. He ran over the highlights of the car and we were already sold. John K is very personable and easy going. He was very flexible with our timing was not pushy at all (as we all know many car dealerships can be!) He answered all of our questions and I can tell you he really knows his stuff! He was willing to negotiate to get us a good deal. We would most definitely suggest him to family and friends in a heartbeat. Thank you John K. for getting us into our first Honda and overall our first Mini van. This world needs more people like John K. that not only considered himself but also helping out people in need.
