Glad we chose Odyssey over Sienna
Our 2001 Chrysler T&C tranny died, so we shopped for a new vehicle. We test drove and thoroughly inspected the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna and were open to buying either. While we loved the roominess, front seats, ease of steering and quick acceleration in the Sienna. We liked the ease of use, electronics layout and smarter features on the Odyssey better. Both are excellent cars. Sienna is roomier but hard to figure out the controls on the tiny screen and to move the 2nd row seats - 3rd row is cramped for adults. The Odyssey has good use of space and better electronics layout, easier to operate seats and gadgets, and seems sportier to drive on the Odyssey. Love our new 2014 Odyssey.
Love the van until the rings went bad.
I followed the service for this vehicle to the letter with the dealer doing all the repairs. Got to 112,000 miles and the ring went bad in cylinders 1, 2 and 3. Found out there is a recall for this on the 2011, 2012 and 2013 model years. They don't pull the engine, they just pull off the oil pan, crank and pull the pistons out. Replace the rings and shove them back into the block. I would love to know which government agency to complain to about this to get my year on the recall too. $3700 dollars later I got my car back and it is running fine but come on Honda. This is outrageous.

Brakes
2nd honda odyssey. 1st was an 08 and it was great. Our 2014 on the other hand has 20000 miles on it and has had the rotors turned 3 times. Not replaced because that's not what the honda specs say to do so they grind them down. It also has a clunk in the front end. I called honda and they suggested the brakes got hot from riding them. The regional rep didn't seem to care and waived the resurfacing cost since the brakes are now out of warranty. No explaining why our 2008 didn't have that problem. We paid more so we could have a good vehicle and that doesn't seem to be the case. We even drive 2 hours to a certified dealer. I will trade very soon.
The Brakes and Rotors Suck!!
At twenty-some thousand miles, we had to have the rotors turned because we were regularly getting a bad pulsing when braking. The dealer's service dept. told us the "brake rotors were thinner than those in our 2009 model" which were never a problem. Why would Honda cheapen anything having to do with brakes? This is a key safety feature. We had two Odyssey's -- 2009 and 2014. We will NOT buy another one! They've lost us as customers with their "cost-saving cutbacks."
Avoid Alabama made Hondas
Like the MDX and Pilot's from this plant - very disappointing transmissions. Jerky shifting, rpm's revving up and down for no reason while driving, especially uphill. Would not recommend. We are trying to get rid of our '14 Odyssey so we test drove the MDX's. Same darn problem. Transmission pulls the car back at low speeds and herky jerky rpm's going uphills. I owned an '05 civic for 215,000 miles and found it very reliable nice ride. The Odyssey has cool features inside but the transmission shifting is awful.
