Have been driving the 2016 Odyssey for over year now and we still like it OK good MPG and comfort, but the instrumentation is very outdated technology and I hope Honda will upgrade that in the 2018 model. Have had no problems with the V6 and oil consumption in the first 15000 miles and the VCM 3 cylinder mode is barely noticeable in this vehicle and not an issue, so looks like Honda figured this out after the class action case against them for the earlier models. The interior is great comfortable and the cup holders in the console are good for all size cups with the flap inserts. All in all we love the 2016 Odyssey a great mommy mobile, that empty nesters can also enjoy and use the utility and hauling ability. a 4X8 sheet of sheet rock or plywood fit nicely inside out of the weather with the middle row of seats out, and with a little work and care you can haul an entire 4 poster bed room suite no matress of course.

Bad Piston Rings (known issue) 54K miles

This is the second Odyssey we've owned. Before this, we owned a 2005. Our 2012 has been extremely disappointing. The left side sliding door struggles and pops and will open about 25% of the time. Dealer replaced a mechanism and it is still doing it. Going back to dealership next Tuesday. I can deal with the door problem, but this past Friday, the engine light began flashing and the traction light remained on as well. 5 minutes on Google will let you know this is a major issue - to the point Honda settled a class action lawsuit related to it. Long story short, it seems the VCM (Variable Cylinder Management) is the likely cause. The piston rings in cylinders 1, 2, 3 and 4 needed to be replaced. This was covered under an extended warranty bulletin as a result of the lawsuit. At 54,000 miles, a Honda engine should not need new piston rings. Honda engines are supposed to be the Holy Grail of engines. The fact that this is not a fluke and is a widespread issue, has me questioning Honda's commitment to quality. A new Odyssey is due out later this's year - by that time, however, we may be in a Sienna.

This is our first minivan. The handling part is what makes us decide to get an odyssey instead of the Sienna. I like how comfy to get in and out of the vehicle but I just hope there's an option to disable the VCM because it rides a lot better without it. The only problem I'm having with this one is the vibration when breaking even at low speed. @4k miles dealership resurface the rotors. @7k miles they did it again and now at 9k miles they resurface it again at telling me rotors are not covered under warranty and they we're doing it as a goodwill. I understand that it's not part of the warranty but when it's a problem since the start then at least they should fix it. So I think I will trade it in soon.
