I owned this minivan for 5 months so far and I'm not satisfied with the reliability. First I need to point out that this car is made in USA. So I will except some little issue will happen but it is too soon to my expectation. I have a 1999 Honda Accord and never had any issue, only replaced one light bulb and turning bulb (regular maintain not included) for 18 year of ownership. So for this 2018 Honda Odyssey, I have a couple issue so far: 1. Passenger power sliding door just not opening yesterday, I can hear the motor is trying to open the door but can't. I tried everything such pullin the outside handle, remote control, inside button and driver side main control button. No succeed. 2. Auto shut off idling function is not working most of the time, when I activate it, do nothing, engine not auto shut off. 3. The motion sensor from the tail door is not working most of the time, I followed the video from you tube and I can only open it 2 times so far. (Lol) 4. Driver power sliding door sound weird now, hopefully it won't break.

I owned a 2011 Toyota Sienna. It started having too many problems for me to justify keeping it, especially considering it's only 6 years old. I had to replace both sliding door motors, driver's door lock, front and rear rotors, several small engine repairs ($870 worth). I test drove both the Chrysler Pacifica and Odyssey. The Odyssey won, hands down. The Pacifica'Stinky styling was too funny for me, some of the interior materials seemed very cheaply made, and the rear seats and head room were pathetic, along with the infotainment system. I picked up my 2018 Odyssey Touring last week. So far, owning it has been an absolute joy. The features I love most is the way it drives. It's quick, very responsive, and the steering feel and control is amazing. It drives much more like a car or sporty SUV than a van, certainly tons better than the Sienna. I rides so well, too. The seats are amazing for me, a 197 lb. 6.0 ft. tall guy, and a good amount of headroom, even in the second row! The rear seats are just as comfortable as the front, unlike the new Chrysler Pacifica that we also test drove. The rear seats were unbelievably uncomfortable in the Pacifica, most likely due to less padding for the seat to fit and fold down into the floor. I'd much rather have comfortable seats that don't fold into the floor. The sliding second row seats are also incredible and useful. I have 2 kids and a wife, so usually the third row seat isn't occupied. But If it is, we still have plenty of room for cargo in the trunk!! The infotainment system is very quick and lag-free, also very unlike the sluggish Pacifica infotainment. We didn't get the Elite trim because we don't need the CabinWatch or CabinTalk feature, because my kids are grown. We chose the Touring trim over the EX-L mostly for the extra safety features. We love the features, especially LaneKeep Assist which definitely adds peace of mind while driving at night or when tired. I honestly have zero complaints with my van so far! If something comes up I'll definitely update my comment. If you want a fun to drive family hauler with impressive features, the Odyssey is for you. Definitely worth a test drive!!

The middle doors wont shut properly when I pick up my grandchildren at school I open the middle doors for them to get in which they do, but when I push the close button the door starts to close them opens right back up and I have to get out of my honda odyssey get back in my wheelchair (suppose to be disabled friendly) race around to the other side put my hand on the door handle and help the honda close the middle door or it simply wont close. I have had it back to the dealer 3 times and they tell me there is no adjustment for this and that they don't no how to fix the problem and that if they mess with it they might make it worse. And the lane assist is dangerous please don' trust it, It is all over the place. But you pay for a functioning lane assist no discount here. It is 01/30/ 2020 and I had to get rid of the troublesome Honda lost a lot of money owning this Honda odyssey new for such a short time had to trade it in on a Toyota Sienna which is a much better and reliable van the doors will open and close without a hitch. Very much needed if you can't open them myself being disabled. I lost so much money and at times was put into danger due to the doors refused to close, And the entertainment system would sometimes not work, The computer sometimes lose power and you would have to pull over and turn the Van off and back on so it would reset itself. very dangerous on the freeway in L.A. I will never own a Honda again. I went looking for a new car for my wife and refused to even look at a honda they cannot be trusted and the honda dealers don't know how to repair what is wrong with them I lost 5000.00 dollars buying my last honda I cannot afford to let that happen again.

Jury's still out...

Love the looks, for a mini-van, of course, for the new design. The comfort is there for the most part. For a $45k car, however, they could have done a better job in terms of craftsmanship... I am not referring only to the materials, but in the putting-it-together sense. Also, the rear camera is the cheapest one I've seen... they put magnesium in this thing, but decided to skip on a good quality rear camera? Why, Honda? Why? Even if it jacked up the price by couple of hundred bucks, that would have been better than the cheap'O rear view camera you chose; shame. Oh and the other thing, the rattling in the panels is starting to creep up (had it on a new 2016 Prius, too, so I guess this is the new new with new cars.) The jury's still out, so we'll see how it goes. As another industry review pundit stated, wait a bit before jumping on a newly redesigned vehicle.

Go for Touring

We bought 2018 Honda Odyssey Touring as we are ready to welcome our first child! After reading the review by one of the owner that EX-L drive is noisy I compared both EXL and Touring and really agree with her that I found Touring quieter and much better drive! If you want better drive and can spend few thousands more go for Touring or all the way to Elite if you want cooling/AC for front seats. So far we are enjoying the ride and safety features (Honda Sensing) that comes with it. We faced Bluetooth, remote starter issues that were fixed by dealer. They said it was some system issue. Wish you the best in your family car hunt! I do recommend Honda Odyssey but higher trim if you want better and quieter drive!
