AC needs to be upsized for hot climates!

I love this van in many ways but am VERY disappointed with the AC system. I live in Phoenix and it takes at least 20 minutes to cool the cabin temp down to 75 when it's 100 degrees or more outside (happens all summer here). I only ever take short in town trips that are usually less than 10 minutes. Anyway, I'm devastated about it but serves me right for just assuming I'd love it because it's a Honda Odyssey. I recommend an extended test drive before you buy to be sure you're happy with it! UPDATE - Tempe Honda here in Arizona has been wonderful in helping me to love my new van. First, they evacuated and recharged the AC system since I purchased a vehicle that had been on the lot a long time. That improved it somewhat. Second, they offered to swap for a white van (we purchased the beautiful scarlet pearl), but after a test drive we decided it wasn't that different and my family prefers the red. I asked if they'd throw in the custom fit sun screen for the windshield and they did. It keeps the dash much cooler when I'm shopping and makes the cabin temp lower after a few hours compared to leaving it exposed under our intense sun. I'd recommend getting the custom fit shade from Honda when you purchase your van. Makes a huge difference on that large dash!

Since my last odyssey a 2007 EXL a lot of changes were made. The ride is great, noise level is better, safety features are nice but take a little getting use to. One thing I wish Honda would look into is folding outside mirrors. Home owners with limited garage space this feature would be nice to have. I could go on about the car but I think Honda has a home run with this vehicle!!!

Road noise a bit higher than I hoped for. Everything else excellent so far. I only have 1,200 miles on this vehicle since I purchased it a few weeks ago.

HONDA VCM SUCKS !

Honda's Variable Cylinder Management is total CRAP, had no idea Honda Odyssey engine had VCM. Would not have bought if had known there were law suits. The engine suffers plus the associated issues related to VCM are completely unacceptable. Honda you should be ASHAMED.
