The front-wheel-drive Honda Odyssey is a minivan that can seat seven or eight, depending on the trim level. It has a 280-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine that works with a standard nine-speed automatic transmission or an optional 10-speed automatic. Competitors include the Toyota Sienna, Kia Sedona and Chrysler Pacifica.

EX-L and higher trim levels get a second 2.5A USB port in the center console.

What Features in the 2019 Honda Odyssey Are Most Important?

Bluetooth and USB connectivity let you pair your devices when you're on the go, while the easy-folding third-row seat lets you quickly switch from passenger- to cargo-carrying duty. Available CabinWatch and CabinTalk tech features allow you to keep an eye on and talk to rear passengers.

Should I Buy the 2019 Honda Odyssey?

If you and your family need an all-purpose vehicle to transport your kids and their stuff, the Odyssey continues to be a good choice. However, the Odyssey's starting price is higher than competitors', some of which offer greater versatility.

If your car dies you can not put this vehicle in neutral

If your car dies you can not put this vehicle in neutral to push it or to tow it!! This could put you in a very dangerous or like me cause a tow service to have to literally drag your vehicle out of your garage. The car was barely 5 years old and we had to spend $1000 replacing the computer system. We recently discovered a pool of water under the carpet in the back of the vehicle. Apparently this is a very common problem due to a faulty part Honda has put on this model. It cost us hundreds of dollars and after days of fans and a shop vac I still can't get all the water out. Do yourself a favor go with Toyota or a different year Oddsey, Honda really dropped the ball on this one!!
