2014 Honda Odyssey LX 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
We enjoy the stable roadabiity, quietness, comfortable, supportive seats, roominess, smooth quiet engine.
So far, (19000 miles), quite "solid", except we had a "creak" low down in the door post behind the driver's seat. They finally fixed it - factory had a service bulletin on it. At 17,000 miles, front brakes began to "pulse" from warped rotors. They were going to "turn them" under … warranty, but I found a service bulletin online showing redesigned rotors (heavier, with cooling vents). The factory was aware of the problem. They agreed to replace them if I split the cost. They should have replaced them for free really, but it cost me only $115. Now they're smooth as silk.
Several minor negatives: the ride is a bit "truck like" (not real "supple), and the dash control for heating/air conditioning are not" intuitive" - took us quite a while to learn how to work everything.
We finally have it figured out, but even the huge owners manual was somewhat obtuse. Gas mileage on a trip at 65 mph often about 30.
Even around town usually over 20. V-6 has ample power, smooth and quiet. Overall, we still find it an excellent vehicle.
Update: May, 2017. We now have 20,000+ miles on it, and brakes are still beautiful. We developed a "creak" in the lower drivers side door post every time you accelerated from a stop. The dealer found a factory bulletin on that problem too, and although it took two or three trips to the dealer they finally have it fixed. So, at this point, we're still quite happy with our Odyssey. UPDATE: 11/14/18. Vehicle will soon be five years old. Now has 30000 miles. Has been trouble free since prior problems were resolved. Still tight and solid. Very nice, stable, quiet, comfortable road car which we enjoy. We enjoy the absence of a console between the two front seats. (All new Odyssey's have the console). We use the open space on trips for snacks or a variety of other things (kleenex box).
2017 Navigation Update DVD

BEWARE! This update will NOT let you set a default to turn OFF the "voice" that gives you directions or even turn the volume down!! It can only be done EACH time you start your car through a 5-step process. It's a pain! I asked my local Honda dealer to take this updated navigation out of my 2014 Odyssey bc I wanted my old navigation system back and they are UNABLE to reset it! Ugh! … How irritating! Come on Honda. Certainly you can do better than this.

2014 Honda Odyssey LX 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
Our car detects imaginary individuals in the heat, opens the windows and sunroof, and floods when the rainstorm hits. A lemon of a design. I will never buy Honda again
Over-Priced!!

2014 Honda Odyssey LX 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
The review by Edmunds is completely not what l found in the 2014 Odyssey. One good thing I enjoyed about this model is that the fuel economy is very good. However this mini van was very loud in the cabin especially when you the odometer reaches 55 plus miles. Also it is very light. I still love my 2007 Nissan quest which has better acceleration and handling than the Honda odyssey.
