2014 Honda Odyssey EX-L 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

We've had many Honda/Acura products over the years as a family going back to the 90's. When we shopped for this van 3 years ago, there were more minivan options available, but it came down to the Odyssey. I write this after trading our Odyssey on a '17 Sienna SE after three years of ownership. We enjoyed our Odyssey, but the 2018 Odyssey won't be out until summer and once we drove the Sienna SE, we knew it would be our next van. Our Odyssey was only out of service once, when it was brand new. The doors had been misaligned with the front fenders, causing them to rub. After that, the Odyssey was never out of service and only required routine maintenance. With twin boys, the power doors were worth any cost, the EXL trim provides everything I deem necessary in a car for my tastes but very little you don't need. The V6 had ample power and decent economy (you could get 29 mpg out of it, even with a load, on a flat, lazy two lane), but the transmission could be slow and confused at times. We live with a lot of hills and it was very noticeable. The dual screen system for the audio system and other functions was also slow and over-done. Designed as a stopgap measure after complaints about too many buttons, it showed. The slow transmission and the dual screen system were the only letdowns in what was a decent vehicle. We don't tow or camp, so I don't need an SUV or crossover. You want a vehicle you can put all your stuff in, people and take a long, comfortable drive? The minivan is your best bet and Honda builds a good one. 2020 update: After a 3 year Toyota Sienna SE lease, we returned to the Honda family with a 2020 EXL Odyssey. The Toyota wasn’t terrible, but I think Honda does a better job than Toyota. My wife did not care for the Toyota at all, strong words from someone who usually doesn’t care what she drives. EXL gains a lot of features over the ‘14 in this review, so it’s even better as a family conveyance.

Honda needs to stand by their vehicles

This is my second Honda and it’s been issues from the beginning. I have 89k miles and this is all I’ve experienced- automatic doors intermittently won’t work, volume on radio will sometimes get stuck at the max setting, transmission computer broke, rear control arms broke, fan in motor broke. I don’t trust this car and I wouldn’t recommend this car AT ALL

This is our fifth Honda. We bought it for the reliability that we have come to love and expect from Honda. The transmission is worthless in this vehicle. It jerks violently between 1st and 2nd gear. The problem is intermittent, but happens quite often (especially in Houston heat). I have brought it in 3 times now and the dealer thinks I am crazy. I spent $41,000 on a piece of trash. I am absolutely beside myself with frustration. I intend to pursue the lemon-law in the wonderful state of Texas. I would not wish this vehicle on my worst enemy!

2014 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Had a 2011 Sienna limited FWD. Traded for 2014 Odyssey with high expectations due to better safety ratings, blind spot and lane departure warning, and so claimed better MPG up to 28 MPG on hwy. After having owned and driven both cars, realized each has plus and minus features. If you use navigation often, this would not be ideal car (see below). Cargo area a bit smaller than Sienna, though 3rd row more spacious.
Great Van

We have 3 kids and all in car seats. This van has enough room for all three in the second row and the middle seat pulls forward-way better than the Sienna. Roomy and a lot of neat functions. Best safety rating of all vans. Averaging between 23-24 MPG.

This 2014 Odyssey has been nothing but a headache. It's been into the shop 4 times and they still can't figure out what's wrong with the engine. It runs like garbage and the engine light comes on frequently. This vehicle has been a major disappointment. This is the last Odyssey I will ever purchase. Honda has been slipping in their quality.
So far impressed with a Twist

Recently Honda Odyssey Touring 2014. So far the seats are amazingly comfortable the tri-zone air conditioning has been outstanding entertainment system works great and the ride is super comfortable. The only thing I've noticed is my 2006 EXL seem to accelerate a little faster. I'm wondering if it is due to the economy mode on the 2014 model that was not on my 2006 model

The eco mode is hard to get used to. The car feels like the transmission is sticking in city driving. Once you understand what is happening it's not that big a deal. Eco mode at highway speed does save on gas. I think this van is not a great choice for someone living in city. Short stop and go trips get bad mileage in this van.

Just got my Odyssey a little bit ago and I really like it. The tech features are nice especially pandora and the text on-screen. It's very quiet and handles good. Plenty of space in it for kids and gear. Does handle like a minivan as expected. Make sure you get the Michelin tires rather than the continentals. There is a big difference and trust me the Contis are horrible. The best bang for you buck is the EX-L in my opinion. My kids use iPads and iPhones and have no need for a rear entertainment system. Nav would be nice, but I use my phone for that stuff on the fly. The one thing I will be keeping track of is the Tranny. Had an Accord with Tranny issues and hoping honda fixed it!
