I'm new to minivans, and very happy with my purchase of a 2015 Honda Odyssey EX. It handles like a car, but can seat 8 passengers comfortably (6 with plenty of room to spread out), and still plenty of cargo space. It has a very quite cabin, feels solid and well refined. It includes some nice tech (most new cars do) and is sportier than other minivans. I chose the EX because I don't care for leather (it's no fun after baking in the hot Texas sun). My biggest grip is some of the features I would like (power lift gate, lane departure warning, and forward collision warning) are only available with leather. I Also think the interior is a little "cheap" feeling compared the the Toyota Sienna LE.
We got a LEMON!

As owner of only Honda or Toyota for the past 20 years, this will be a fair and honest review because I want/wanted to love this van forever...really! Here's the good: overall feeling of Honda quality. The van is VERY well designed for families! Pretty sure a woman was involved in that aspect...there's a spot for everything and more. Love the looks in and out. Overall design is fantastic!! Feels very safe, LOVE the side view camera!!! Fuel efficiency is amazing, especially on highway we easily get 27-29+ MPG. What I hate: cheap feeling cloth interior and transmission! I do a lot of city driving and initial acceleration causes whiplash...very jumpy and noisy. So I wanted to say this is my favorite vehicle ever but unfortunately ours has been very troubled. At 2,000 miles the steering wheel randomly "popped" loudly while turning. Was told I'm "the 1st one to have this complaint." It was very difficult to reproduce with Honda tech (of course!) but finally did. Tech said his wife's 2015 does this also. So dealer took new one off the lot and that one did it too!! After keeping my van a few days the dealership along with Honda tried to tell us it was normal. Trust me, if I heard this steering wheel pop when I drove it off the lot w/4 miles on it I would have brought it right back!!!! So finally at 3,800 miles at our insistence (we had to raise a stink) they did replace the steering column which has been a good fix so far. Next, at the 5,000 mile mark the sliding door motor failed causing the door to become STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION! This happened on a rainy holiday weekend. The van is not fun to drive with an open door! Eventually rain stopped and I was able to drive it to the dealership as other drivers honked/gestured at me. The tech couldn't get the door closed after trying for an hour. Required the entire interior being dismantled. New door motor from Honda ordered and installed but FAULTY! Another door motor finally did the trick. What a mess!! So glad we did a sign & drive lease as I think my van was assembled the day after the Super Bowl. My in-laws bought a 2015 EX-L the same week we did and have had no problems. Thankfully our dealership has taken care of us so far (reluctantly) but there's NO WAY I'm keeping this van once the warranty is done!!! It's been "undriveable" 3 days PLUS 10 days in the shop over the course of 5 months. Honda IS NOT what it used to be :( 22,000 MILE UPDATE: Steering has developed a new and frequent snapping/clicking sound different from the one we experienced at 2,000 miles. Also, rattling and creaking noises in front and rear of vehicle over slightest bumps. Not sure if this is interior or a suspension issue. Transmission awful...VERY "jerky" and notice 22nd & 3rd gear seem to slip frequently. How many issues should I have to ask the service department to look at on a new vehicle? I guess we just turn the music up louder! Can't wait for this lease to be over.

We checked out the Sienna, Odyssey and Caravan. We felt that the Odyssey offered the best combination of handling (still not very good, but it is a van), interior layout, safety and resale value. Overall we've been very happy with the van in our first 15 months of ownership. The only thing that I would change if I could would be to add extra sound insulation in the wheel wells. Maybe it's because we are in the PNW, but many of the roads here elicit massive tire noise inside the van. It gets really fatiguing to drive for distances on certain highways. Other than the tire noise, love the van. We went with the EX for power doors, but didn't want to spend all the extra money just for leather in the EX-L. We get 26-27 mpg going 75mph on road trips over the mountains, only about 18-20 in day to day driving. Over three years in now and haven't had to do anything other than change the fluids.

A man and his Van

As my wife laughingly says, "Nothing is sexier then man in a van." This Odyssey is the most practical awesome vehicle you can buy. Seriously, why wouldn't everyone have a minivan? Do you really need an SUV (many are on car frames), or a monster full size truck to offset your viagra prescription? Nothing wrong with them, if you need them, but this is the most practical car you can own. OK, I will admit that I have a truck, SUV, and a car, but I am always taking everyone around town in my van because we can't fit anyone in their car/SUV. Eight people, no problem! Car seats, no problem! Traveling long distances, no problem! Tow a small boat or trailer, no problem! On my last trip I had six adults, with luggage, dog, 1200 mile trip, 26 mpg, and plenty of comfort. All that for under $33,000. This is my third minivan, and they are great. I have had this Odyssey for 5 years now. I replaced a battery, tires, and had routine oil changes. That's it! The van drives great, it's quiet, comfortable, dependable, sure footed in the rain, and handles very well in the city and highway. This "man in a van" sure loves his 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....
