2019 odyssey
Gas cap lever doesn't open, nor the emergency release lever inside the trunk. Furious, dealer was not polite about the issue and car doesn't even have 100 miles.

Forever changed
I just simply love my mini van. I’ve had 3 Honda’s. And I use to be a Chevy girl. I swore over and over that I’d never buy a mini van. But with my odyssey. It was love st first sight. The new sleek look makes the mini van look like an SUV. And I think it’s totally cool that the windows on the first row actually open like a car window

Honda Odyssey 2019 Horror Story
The windshield washer sensor, telling driver when fluid is low does not exist. Caught in snow storm when I ran out of above fluid. Not having this and not told by dealer that it was not on the vehicle before purchase is irresponsible and a safety issue. The Canadian model has this feature not U. S model at any trim level. Our driveway is at 7% grade and on occasion the display says to put in park for no reason. I made a a video and brought it to the dealer but Honda will not look into the issue unless it occurs at the dealer. The craftsmanship of the seat stitching is poor and when it was pointed out the dealer they said wait until end of summer when the heat will expand the material and if it does not improve bring it into service. When I called the dealer to make an appointment they would not return my call. The dashboard has a gap of ½” to the side driver door panel and no gap on the passenger side. Honda says it’s on other vehicles and will not address it or the seat material issue for the same reason.

Awesome van for my family
Really great car... I love it. Yes, you have to get over the stigma of driving a minivan... like really, 20+ years ago, is this where we thought our lives would go?. But it's worth it. Carries kids, tools and materials. Nice to drive... Apple play and instruments are great.

Miss my 2005 odyssey
Loved my 2005 odyssey. Traded it for a used 2015 touring odyssey. Loved the 2015 until it made a loud bang one morning. Sounded like 2 pans hitting together. Then it jumped into gear. I was told transmission problem. Traded that in for 2019 odyssey LX. Hate it cause it feels like it’s got 4 cylinders. Sluggish from stop sluggish trying to get on highway. Once I’m on the highway real nice smooth quiet ride. I hate the sluggishness. Wish I kept my 2005 and pour money into it. It was the best!!
A homerun
I have had many Hondas since my first 600cc Civic in the 70's. Accords, Preludes, Civics, and two Odysseys. The first Odyssey was a 2005 Touring, and our current one is a 2019 Elite. We gave the 2005 to a friend and that thing has well over 100k miles and runs like a scalded ape. The engine and transmission are flawless, no matter how bad you abuse the accelerator. In between the two Odysseys we had two Accord tourings that performed as well. Our kids are also Honda fans with several of them buying the product,( we admittedly try to stick with the 6cyl. models). We have had the new Odyssey since around 09/2019 and it is the wife's daily driver,( The 2005 Odyssey was my daily driver for years, refusing to get rid of it) I now have a 2019 F150 Platinum which my wife refuses to drive, because it is so big. So, I rarely get to snag the Odyssey for a drive on my own, she is almost always along when I do. You might ask, So what? Well, she won't let me drive "adventurously" when she is along. You need to go test drive an Odyssey with the new ten speed and paddle shifters. The thing is pure joy to drive and BUTTER SMOOTH. I really love the drive/ride in my truck,sitting up high, massaging seats etc., but driving the Odyssey is so much more fun. The thing is tight, crisp and full of room. We love everything about the vehicle. I see some people complain about some problems, I guess that can happen with any vehicle. So far ours has been GOLDEN. Final thought, she wanted an SUV type vehicle to start with. Then I saw a review where some guy suggested looking at the new Odyssey instead of an SUV. We did and fell in love with everything about it. And now for 2020 all the Odysseys come with the 10 speed,( a must have with this new van) whereas it used to only be included with the touring and elite models,( not sure about the paddle shifters ). Watch the Youtube reviews with test drives, almost every reviewer cannot believe how quick it accelerates. A homerun with this vehicle.

DO NOT BUY HONDA'S
The company has know for a long time that the "infotainment", as they call it, has had issues. I purchased my Odyssey in may 2019 and with only 2500 miles they had to replace the amplifier. It took 3 days for that. Now the van has 13,500 and this is the 5th time that I have dropped it off with an infotainment problem. It's the never ending story. I had a Toyota Sienna for 12 years and it never had a problem, I sold it with 189,000 miles, and it ran perfect. STAY AWAY FROM HONDA

Stay away from this vehicle
I purchased a Honda Odyssey 2019 in May 2019. Little did I know what the future would bring. For starters the dealership where I purchased it did not provide loaners, With only 2,500 miles they had to replace the amplifier of the "infotainment", as they call it. It took 3 days for that. But that was not the end of the story. My van has under 14,000 miles now, it's under a year old, and it's been 5 TIMES with an infotainment problem, and every time the best they do is give you a ride back home, and pick you up when it's ready. In the meantime sit and wait for your vehicle, and pray that it won't be too long. They replaced some part of the infotainment yesterday after 4 days of having it sitting in their parking lot, and today the radio froze again. When I spoke to Honda America they said that they were aware that there is a problem with their software and Apple Play and Android Auto. They've know this since 2018. I had a Toyota Sienna 2007 that I sold with 189,000 miles, and it never had a glitch. Big mistake. I should have never left Toyota.

Electrical/Computer problems non-stop
Have owned 2019 Odyssey Elite for almost two years. Lost count of central computer issues. Overhead camera would disconnect, audio would stop working (for everything), internet would stay disconnected, etc. The worst, all of it requires restart of the car and not just off and on at the traffic light. You have to open door, close door, lock car, unlock car. Otherwise computer still running on background.I bought it for technology, and technology is failing all the time. Not going with Hondas for a while after this.

Over all good vehicle but lots of engine jerking
I am not sure if any of you have felt and heard the engine jerking when you take the foot off the accelerator but my MV seems to do a lot of it. Over the entire vehicle is good, conferrable, quintet ride except what I mentioned earlier. I really like the sliding seats in the middle.

We always wind up hating Hondas
Could never get comfortable in the driver's seat. At 6'3" the seat just would not go back enough. The van felt underpowered. The 9-speed transmission felt off compared to fancier 10speed in the touring. Infotainment was always annoying. It did not play well with our apple devices. We have had our share of vans and liked them all better than the odyssey. I think we are just not honda people.

$7000 repair, garbage warranty
I took my 2019 Honda Odyssey in to get the transmission looked at at 70,000 miles. The technician said it was an issue of fluid levels. The noise continued, but it was sporadic and I had been told it was no big deal. It became less sporadic at just over 100K miles, so I took it in to a different dealer and was told again that it was nothing. The next week, the transmission failed. I paid a ton of money for the warranty but they won’t cover the transmission because it’s over 100K. Two technicians told me there was no problem before it failed, leaving me without a vehicle to get to my father’s funeral, as he died that same day. Multiple people at American Honda warranty said I had a great case for a small extension. Then they closed the case and said they would cover nothing. I have bought exclusively Hondas since I was a teenager. Never, ever again.

Going strong after 4 years
Our Odyssey continues to be a comfortable ride. We are nearing 35,000 miles. There were some early recalls but mostly preventive in nature. The car never exhibited the potential problems, however. The dealer has always been responsive to the recalls and any operational questions. Our 1997 Honda Cr-V with 300,000 miles is another endorsement of Honda longevity.

Not a Good Example of a Honda
We purchased this car exactly one year ago. It took an act of God to get my wife into a mini-van and she was actually excited to purchase this car. It was also our first new car purchase as a family. Over the last 12-months we have had the Odyssey (EXL Navi/RES) at our local dealer service 7 times, a few of them over night or for a few days. First issue started around 3,500 miles when the SRS System went haywire and the car essentially went into “limp home mode” by limited the rev to 2,500rpm. Brought it in and had the whole system replaced. After that its been a slew of issues, from the anti-theft being tripped by a faulty battery, door motor being fixed, third row seats have had to been replaced twice due to the latch breaking, gear shift buttons were replaced, and on and on. I am not happy about this at all. Although the dealership has been very accommodating and has done everything to resolve the issues. We are currently attempting to get Honda to trade us out, but have not had success.

My Odyssey in Buying a Honda
The Odyssey is a wonderful car. Our dealer was also a big reason we bought the car and were happy with the experience. You always want to get the best deal - and you really never know yet I think we both left incredibly happy with the end result. The information attained throughout Edmunds was incredibly valuable. They knew we did our homework, networked and were knowledgeable. We would not have been without your insights - Thank You and keep up the good work.

It’s OK
So we’ve had a 2019 Honda Odyssey Touring as a company vehicle for the past year. I’ve driven it a lot. The powertrain is definitely the highlight of the van, it’s smooth and responsive. It’s fast. Has a nice ride as well. But that’s where it ends, the interior is dated, the materials aren’t up to par with the competition and the infotainment is a disaster. Seats are flat and not comfortable for long drives. The ventilated seats don’t really work and the heated seats turn off really quick. Issues we’ve had is the infotainment stops working after a couple hours esp with Apple CarPlay. Sometimes the power sliding doors don’t close properly. Whenever I’m coming around a bend on a road and there’s an oncoming car the van beeps multiple times and “BRAKE” flashes on the dash. Does it think I’m gonna crash? It’s incredibly distracting and not acceptable. Radar guided cruise control is just annoying. In any vehicle. The worst thing of all is it’s terrible on fuel. Driving 300 kilometres uses over half a tank, I always have to refuel on my trip back which is annoying. All in all, the Chrysler Pacifica, Kia Carnival, Toyota Sienna are all better options and offer better value.

Sluggish
I have had 2 other previous Honda mini vans, the 2014 EX-L, which i Traded in for the 2016 EX-L and a few months back I traded that one in for the 2019-ELITE, I had very high hopes but the first thing I noticed is its very sluggish at take off, when for example taking off from a stopped position, I have to press the the accelerator more than usual and all of a sudden it takes off faster than planned. another problem i noticed is that the wireless charger doesn't really work too well, on a long trip, the phone heats up more than it charges. I don't use the navigation much but on a long trip its a bit annoying that you can not change your destination while the car is moving, I understand its a safety feature but its annoying . i will be driving and my wife is trying to input a destination so we end up just using google maps. ***UPDATE*** 03/11/2020, Its been about a year, still sluggish, I haven't gotten used to it, other than that a great car, love everything else about it besides acceleration .

Missing the right side camera!!
I have had several Odysseys throughout the years and have loved them. I thought my last one before retirement would be the Odyssey Elite. I love it except for one thing. Honda made a huge mistake by taking away the right side turn camera. Huge mistake Honda! I kept my 2013 model touring with low miles. I may get rid of the 2019 because I miss the camera so much!! Huge mistake, Honda!

Noisy low gear problem in 9 speed transmission
I noticed the higher rpm in the gear 1 and 2 when I step on gas while the speed doesn’t really pick up with the high engine sound. I think the 9-speed design made the first two gears too close, or not properly separated. When starting from a red light turning green, my engine sounded much louder than my surrounding vehicles and my Odyssey doesn’t move any faster. Hated this! Before I had time to visit the dealer to complain, I tried to use the gear shift paddle to manually shift gears before the rpm goes to 2500 at the low gears. It works very well! Instead of waiting for the transmission to shift automatically, do it manually to avoid high rpm and the speed picks up reasonably fast. I tried the S mode first, and later found that manual shifting in D mode will also work well. If anyone think I shouldn’t do that, let me know. I am very satisfied with all other aspects of my Odyssey and that’s why I gave it a 4 star rating out of 5. I have a BMW X5 with An 8-speed transmission. It’s very smooth and quiet in gear shifting. Thanks.

Short romance
How current are some options such as navigation and radio? Back seats don’t fold down as well as some brands. Did not drive straight ahead at highway speed as well as some brands. Excellent gas mileage for van. Got hit from side by another vehicle and totaled, but safety equipment worked well. No one was hurt other than a little soreness where shoulder harness tighten.

Frustrated
LOVE the roominess of the van & everything about it. EXCEPT that we have continued to have computer problems with the dash & tv. THEN, we had to replace the entire fan assembly with only 61,700 miles on the van! Due to buying a GM Certified vehicle & being the 2nd owner (we bought the car with 35k on it), Honda wouldnt fix it or even acknowledge the problem unless I took it to get diagnosed at a dealership. We had a FREE estimate & refused to pay for a diagnosis when we were already angry about the car having problems when we havent even had the van a year. Still having computer issues so have to take it back in.

Sirius XM Radio DOES NOT WORK in my Honda Odyssey!
Make sure to set up your XM radio before you drive your car off the lot. The car I bought in 2019 is fantastic. No doubt about it. I had a 2008 Odyssey and bought it again last year! But while XM radio worked well in the 2008 (still does...my son drove it out west this year), somehow it never worked properly in my new Odyssey. The dealership could never figure out how to fix it. I think they actually sold me a LEMON, in this particular area anyhow. Very disappointing. So a year later I finally cancelled my subscription even though I really liked XM radio...I had my channels all set up and really enjoyed it whenever it actually worked.
So much better than the 2018!
We’ve been driving a 2018 for the past year and I just bought a 2019 and it has been so much better! The biggest difference has been the infotainment system. The 2018 was laggy and would have to reset (stop the car, shift to park, turn off the car, open the driver door for five seconds, and then restart the car again) all the time- and when you’re in the middle of a road trip and the dvd system goes black or the sound turns off, it is super frustrating. This 2019 has been exponentially better! I know there was a recent software update that came out so it that may solve the problem on the 2018s but our experience with the 2019 so far has been awesome. The Elite literally has all the functions of any other top brand vehicle and it’s so comfortable to drive. One more note is I always assumed the vacuum was just a gimmick but it actually works great. Definitely buy an Odyssey. 10/20/21- Update, I ended up taking the 2019 to the dealer on three separate occasions to fix infotainment issues (the same issues I was trying to avoid when I sold my 2018 Odyssey). Must be a major issue because I received a mailer talking about a class action lawsuit about the issue. Other than that, the Odyssey hasn't had a single problem. I have been looking at trading to a 2021 Toyota Sienna but it feels like Odyssey still has the edge. If the next Odyssey update (in 2023 or 2024) doesn't have a hybrid, I'll probably move over to Sienna at that point.

Seat Removal is only for Hulk
The back captain seats are extremely hard to remove. Much different than 2010 that I previously owned. It’s a puzzle for extremely strong people to solve. Very frustrating! Especially due to the fact that most of the people that own Mini Vans have multiple small children
Sweet ride, great technology, fun to drive.
This is our third Odyssey. We had a 2002, 2007, and now the 2019. Honda has really outdone themselves with this vehicle. The technology is mostly easy to work with. The Android auto is slightly different than the Android auto that I have in my 2019 Silverado, but both work well. The Odyssey is truly cavernous with lots of room for everything. Some point out that the two rear seat are hard to remove, but we don't care because we never have the need to remove them. The idea that the Pacifica 2nd row seats fold completely into the floor is a nothing-burger in my opinion unless you're a traveling salesman loaded down with free samples or stuff, or someone who constantly needs a full blown level floor to hauling plywood to 8 foot 2x4s. If you have a need like that, get a truck (like I have). Plus, the Pacifica 2nd row seats are able to fold completely into the floor because they are so thin and therefore uncomfortable. The Odyssey doesn't have that problem; the 2nd row seats are truly plush and comfortable even for large adults. The 3rd row seats plop down into the floor easily, just like the other Odyssey's that we've owned. The saftey features are easy to use, sometimes a little quirky until you get used to using everything. The Honda is quick and quiet on the road and handles so well it's actually fun to drive.

Great riding vehicle
Best vehicle I have ever owned for long rides. I have owned several upscale vehicles, Lexus, Acura to mention a few but I enjoy this vehicle more than any of them. Seats are extremely comfortable and entertainment center is amazing. Numerous ways to open side doors and rear lift. Safety features are great but lane mitigation is a bit annoying. Do not like the fact that you have to upgrade to more expensive model for warning system when getting to close to objects. Pickup is a little slow but overall I love this vehicle and riding in it is a joy.

2013 was better
We miss the stuff-tray in the dash and wish the GPS display was rotated 90°. Our 2013 handles better. Some of family misses the chill compartment. Also the 2013 electronic dash was more informative/useful and the 2013 seats fold-down better. 2019 does survive high water better. We hate needing to push the "A" button each and every drive.
