Great mini van with few flaws

We just recently traded our 2015 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite after driving it nearly 120k miles over 4.5 years. Most reviews do it justice - it's a great van that will deliver with Honda reliability. Our family grew from 5 to 6 and the space, versatility, and features are worthy even in 2019. The gas mileage seemed to range from high teens (~18 mpg) in the city to low/mid-20's (~22-24 mpg) highway loaded up. I didn't always track it, but the best we ever recorded was 26 mpg. While not luxurious, it definitely has enough space, comfort, and features to keep you and your family comfortable on any road trip. The good: seating for 8; 7 comfortably, but 8 is reasonable for short trips or kids. The middle row can be modified for tight, spacious, or the middle seat can be outright removed. Lots of room for luggage and creative seating arrangements and the "magic stow" 3rd row seats are awesome. The very back is spacious with a deep storage bin, which means you can fit several full size suitcases even with all seats up. The 3rd row is good for kids or 2 adults on shorter trips. You can also remove all of the 2nd row seats and have an amazing storage space that rivals pick ups. The entertainment system is awesome, although only DVD vice Blu Ray. The screen is logically placed and has nice resolution. There's a 120V outlet in the back along with an HDMI input (although on opposite sides - what's up with that, Honda???). The sound system, built in navigation, a/c and almost everything else all worked great. Finally, having sliding rear doors is great in that you can park in tighter spaces and not have to worry about kids hitting the car next to you. The bad: the cruise control was horrible. I mean, we used it, but it was more like a "the Odyssey feels like going close to this speed" control. Most of our driving is in Florida, so we don't have much terrain/hills. Yet, the Odyssey would routinely slow speed to 4-5 mph below what was set, then leisurely resume speed, only to randomly slow again. Sometimes it would come back to the set speed, other times it would essentially reset itself to a slower speed. Yes, this was taken to two Honda dealer service centers only to be told that "it was normal." The other issue is that the alternator can't keep up with the power demands - so more frequent battery replacements will be expected. At least this is what our tow truck driver explained to us the only time our Odyssey gave us problems. Finally, the power sliding side doors would sometimes have to be reset by adjusting the child lock control switch off and on. Ultimately, I would recommend this van!

Everything else is good with the car except the wind noise above 45mph or even in low speeds if there is a lot of wind outside. Cannot believe such kind of quality control from Honda....

Noisy Ride (Wind and Road)

2015 Honda Odyssey EX-L 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

We just purchased a 2015 Honda Odyssey and traded in our 2012 Pilot. I loved my Pilot but we decided to make the switch with the addition of our 3rd kiddo. Unfortunately, I'm not pleased at all with the exchange. While the van is attractive and has all of the bells and whistles, it doesn't make up for the extremely noisy cabin which is filled with road and wind noise, even at low speeds. I'm not sure if I'm overly sensitive due to driving my quiet Pilot for the last 3 years, or if there is something actually wrong with the Odyssey. I would expect more for the amount of money that you spend. The Dealership can find nothing wrong with the noise and has told me that it has to do with where the driver sits over the wheels and possibly the quality of the tires. Just something for future buyers to be aware of. Make sure you test drive it for more than a 10 minute drive, turn off the radio and pay close attention before you sign.

I love my Odyssey! Nothing like smoking a boy-racer in a Civic with my minivan. :-) Pros: Great mileage, roomy and very comfortable on short or long trips. You can seat 8 and still have room for their luggage. (Had 3 kids, Wife and her 3 sisters plus luggage). I drove for Uber for an year with my vehicle. Received several compliments on the appearance and comfort from riders. It handles great in the snow! Honda moved the air intake up from the bottom of the vehicle to the current position over/next to front left head light. I had a 2007 Odyssey that would come close to stalling in high water in Norfolk. Cons: The squeaking from the sliding doors over inclines and bumps. This was not an issue in my 2007 Odyssey. Air vents in the ceiling removed support for the structure. The new 2018 Odyssey is quiet - no door squeak. The floor covering in the vehicle is cheap and of low quality; especially in the trunk area. The same goes for the entertainment center, not reliable when connected with cellular device.. Over all review. I will be keeping my Barron (Odyssey) until 250 k - it is the mileage it was design to reach. I enjoy driving my Barron. The wife and I love taking road trips in quiet comfort. I would highly recommend the 2015 Odyssey.

This is my 3rd Odyssey I have loved everything about her, but this one is the worst out of these 3. I have experienced problems with transmission it was jerking . Dealer tried to fix that problem by upgrading software flashing transmission fluid but it did not work so I have driven this car always in expectation that something is going to happen and it did jerk again, this time they change pressure switch for which I had to pay because warranty expired. Seems like finally that problem was corrected but now I probably will stay away from buying another Honda
