I’ve had this car for 2 years almost 3 years, as a new car it was great. Once the miles started going past 10,000 it’s been a headache. Honda sensing is useless! The van will pull me into another lane (almost hit someone because it thought I was drifting lanes), the auto brake system will stop us with no one in front, the adaptive cruise control will get right up a cars rear end (farthest setting is on) then flash “brake”. It’s been to the dealership multiple times for these issues and I’m told “there is no fix, turn it off”. The 9 Speed transmission loves to jerk at lows speeds as if it can’t decide which gear it should be in. Honda says “it’s normal” but any other mechanic I’ve spoken to says “it’s normal for this transmission but it’s not necessarily a good thing.” Luckily the rear entertainment has not given us any trouble and it makes road trips easier. The ride overall is okay in the city but excels on the highway (just can’t use any of the safety tech). Overall it does the job but I don’t trust the transmission and remembering to turn off all of the tech every time is a pain in the neck. I’m looking to trading it in and will be skipping the newer Odysseys.

We wanted to purchase the Pacifica, but the cost of ownership is lower and resale is higher. The Pacifica is more customizable than the Odyssey.

Great mpg at 28-29. Looks fantastic. Driving is so comfortable and smooth. Lots of room inside. In the Econo mode the a/c at times seems to be less cooling, but it is made that way. That helps on the mpg, so either use it or not, I choose to use it and stay cool and comfy in southern Mo heat waves. Great buy, you won’t be disappointed.

I had a 2005 with 87,000 miles when I traded it in for a 2010 (husband wanted to trade not me). I kept the 2010 for 8 years and 110,000 miles with only regular maintenance. Never had a problem with either Odyssey. I loved my 2010 but wanted the newer technology. The only drawback for me was the colors. I like lighter colors and unless I wanted silver or white there weren't any light colors. I ended up with the red/burgundy color which looks great after a car wash but shows the dirt pretty quickly. I love the safety features and navigation on this van. I see complaints about the A/C in the second and third rows but I bought my van in late August and haven't really used it in hot weather. Will see how that works this summer. I also feel the 2010 accelerated faster. I have had a problem with the sliding door on the driver's side not closing occasionally and don't know why. Eventually it works. Just got some king of recall I think about the software so I guess I'm be taking the van in for that. I would buy this van again in a heartbeat. I'm a Grandma who hauls grandkids to piano, tennis, basketball and baseball ga7mes and practices and it works great for all of that. Bought van in August 2017 now it's October 2018. I have almost 14,000 miles and have had no problems with this van. I love it! I've now has this 2018 van for 3 1/2 years and have almost 37K miles. There have been several recalls. I like the engine in my 2010 van much better. I could just barely touch the gas pedal to pass someone but I have to really push on the gas to get up to speed on the 2018. I wish they hadn't changed the way the engine works. I have now had my 2018 van for 4 1/2 years with close to 45K miles. Have not had any mechanical issues or repairs. My only problem now is getting in and out of the van due to leg and knee problems. I need the seat to go back further so I can get in and out easier. It is really difficult for me. I drove my daughter in-law's 2015 Toyota Sienna and I could get in and out in a breeze. Other than that everything is going well. I now have had my 2018 van for a little over 6 years. I now have 56,000 miles on it. I have had zero problems. I have done regular maintenance with oil changes and replacing tires. I've had this van for a little over 7 years. It now has 62,000 miles. Other than oil changes and replacing tires, it runs like it did the day I bought it. Would buy it again. No problems with paint or anything on the interior either. I've now had this van for four months short od 8 years and I have 64,200 miles on it. Just regular maintenance like oil changes and tires. However, at my last oil change a couple of months ago the dealer said that I needed new control arms and an alignment. I have since talked to their service manager to get more clarification. He said I should do it within a year. I was surprised that I would need control arms replaced especially on a Honda. Not happy about that. My 2010 van had 110,000 miles on it and no problems.
