_Not so Good: (1) Rubber around the windows started to deteriorate and had to be replaced at my expense. (2) The headlights have clouded over. (3) Road noise is loud at speed. (2) The front pillars on each side of the windshield are thick and can hinder vision. _The Good: (1) Seats up to 8, we do 5 adults and 3 teens, with no comfort issues, and all the luggage fits too. (2) Actual Mileage 22 mpg to 28 mpg, depends on city driving or long trips on the Interstate. (3) I like how the vehicle handles while driving. (4) Fold down the rear row of seats, remove the center row of seats and you have decent cargo space.

Three major problems with the Honda Odyssey. Two of the problems I have had and the third I am not going to wait for. It would have been real nice if the Honda had been nice and told us the issues ALL major Odyssey Vans have. The first is the never ending VCM issue that can destroy the engine by destroying the piston rings, motor mounts and spark plugs. I had to get a lemon lawyer to deal with this issue, since Honda America won’t honor the full extended warranty that is still good for many many months. Second, the battery issue. 2016 Odyssey Vans suck the life out of the battery in accessory mode, so much so that both AAA and Costco will not sell you a replacement battery. They won’t sell you a battery since they know it won’t last three years. From all of my latest readings the 2018 and 2019 Odyssey have even worse battery and electrical problems. The third issue is the transmission with all Odysseys above 75k mileage. I plan on getting rid of this Odyssey in the next few months so I am not that worried about the tranny dying soon. If you plan on getting a used 2016 Odyssey you need to have the piston rings scoped for wear and have a vcm disabler installed ASAP for 80-200 dollars. Very easy to install and there are a ton of YouTube videos on installing a VCM disabler. The battery issue is not that bad on the 2016 Odyssey if you use some common sense. First, buy the biggest amp battery you can get. AutoZone DuraLast batteries are very good. They sell some with over 900 amps! Stay away from the official Honda Batteries. The one they replaced my old battery with was only 650 amps which is NOT nearly enough for an Odysseys needs. Second, don’t run power hungry things in accessory mode for very long like the head lights, interior lights, radio, AC, power sunroof, fans and dash displays. Just common sense. The worst thing I hate and other owners hate is how American Honda now treats you. They don’t honor the power tran and electrical warranties that come with the cars so why even bother getting a Honda. People don’t like being lied too. And not honoring and making up things to void your warranty is now common with Odysseys and all Hondas. I am going to never buy a Honda ever again after having many. My next car will most likely be a used Toyota Sienna Van.

Great minivan, great seats, that later save on doctors bills. Nice passenger side camera on the mirror, that shows the right side, when turn right. The things that I do not like is the new Blue tooth, that is partly disabled when driving, low acceleration, and paint that peel easily on all Honda models. Honda customer care foes not help, and dealerships wants to repair only whatever Honda cover. So they do not care about Small problems.

My odyssey is 2 weeks old. About 1000 miles. Absolutely love it. Pleasure to drive. Gas mileage appears to be very good. Traded in my 2002 odyssey. The 02 was a great van. 180000 miles. Nothing major. I highly recommend the 2016 Odyssey

I wrote the following letter to Honda Motor Company (HMC). HMC does not accept email so I had to mail it to them. Dear Customer Service, Re: Our new Honda Odyssey On March 17, 2016 we took the delivery of new Honda Odyssey van. The details of the van are as follows: Dealer: DCH Honda of Nanuet, NY Purchase date: 03/17/2016 Model: Odyssey LX, 2016 year VIN: xxxxxx We are very disappointed with the van interior. The floor carpet in the third row seat is stapled and the break in the carpet is disconcerting. You can clearly see this in the following photograph (not able to post in this review) The front row floor matting is misfit. The middle part of the matting ridges up even though the matting locks are properly secured. Please see following picture. In the back cargo bay on two sides two small hills pop up. Overall the Odyssey interior gives a feeling of cheapness (there are no armrest on both sides of the second row seats). This is our forth Honda purchase - we bought two Civics and one Accord in past. We always assumed great quality from Honda. We never worried about the stylishness and interior quality of Honda craftsmanship. We were not disappointed in the first three purchases. But the Odyssey experience teaches us that when we are in the market for two more cars in 2017 for our twins we better look around to other manufacturer. Thank you for reading this opinion. Regards,
