Honda all the way!

I had an 09 Odyssey that I traded in for a Dodge product- worst mistake ever! Ended up trading the Dodge in for this one. The 14 is so much better than even the 09. The 6 speed tranny is now standard which bumped up MPG and the drive. The 3rd row seats also fold down much easier. The dual screens are a unique touch which I like. HondaLink is kind of a joke at this point (downloaded the app on my I-Phone) but I do like that the car will read you text messages and let you respond while driving. I looked at other vans but no one was even close to the Odyssey when all is considered. Note: The CoolBox does NOT make things cold, it uses the car A/C to keep things cold.

Watch out for the transmission

This Ody replaced my 2003 Ody (I want to 2003 back!). I am very displeased with our 2014 Odyssey's shifting. Acceleration/deceleration is not smooth. This has nothing to do with ECO mode. I did not notice this issue on the test drive (should have done extensive city driving). The overall design of the van is nice, but had I foreseen the transmission issues, I would never have bought it. I could shoot myself for not buying the Sienna (which I had driven [not by choice] as a rental several times). I kept telling myself the Sienna's interior and features are not as nice. But annoying transmissions are far worse of an issue; definitely not worth the extra 2 miles per gallon!

Odd changes for the interior.

I owned a 06 Odyssey for 11 years and 202,000 miles, loved it. Never had a problem with it outside of regular maintenance. I recently purchased a 2014 with 13,300 miles from a returned lease. Its a b eautiful van ( on the inside, it is a minivan). But some odd changes have been made. What was the removable " magic seat" in the 06 now has been replaced with a leave in seat that folds down to provide cup holders and inside armrests to the second row. Without it staying in, there are no armrests for the second row. Another odd omission is the removal of the small hooks in the cargo area to hang groceries, we used that all the time in the 06 to keep bread and other fragile items safe from the rest of the purchases....small but odd differences from the 06. But definitely not a deal killer. Overall the ride is great, except for the original Continental Tires. For the midwest these tires don't offer enough quality traction in wet/ colder weather.

We purchased our 2014 Honda Odyssey last August. We decided to buy the Honda on reputation and the smoothness of the Honda Engine. Boy were we wrong. We have owned many new car brands, GM, Ford, Jeep, Lincoln, Volvo, Mercedes Chrysler to name some. We have never had the troubles with those brands as with the Honda.The big issue was that at around 8200 miles the head gasket blew. Now a check engine light is on. I have years of prof auto experience and Honda did not complete the repairs to proper standards. The car does not rde, perform, or have as good ergonomics as the KIA loaner we had from Enterprise! Now that was a shock to us as we never gave the Kia a look when shopping. We are done! Update: We had more issues with the Water Pump and no loaner car this time. We traded the Honda in for a Buick SUV and could not be happier, we have over 10K on the Buick and not one issue and it outperforms the Honda in all categories. The Honda image and quality is a thing of the past, other cars are as good as or in our case better!

Front end suspension noise!

We bought this van brand new in September 2014 and just traded it in with only 2300 miles on it this month. The Odyssey has a horrible creaking front suspension noise that the dealership won't fix. The van is nice and new, but sounds like an old car that needs new shocks. After allowing the dealership to attempt to fix the problem four times and the van being in for service for over 39 days, we were told by Honda that they are aware of the problem and that they do not have a fix for it right now, so Honda is calling it normal noise. Long story short...there is no fix for it and Honda refused to do the Lemon Law. So, we just decided to trade it in on a better vehicle.
