I can’t hate this car more

Been a longtime Toyota person but tried a Honda. Needed a van for the kids. I’ve had this car less than a week and I have major regrets about the purchase. First, the electronics. They are glitchy beyond belief. Half the time Apple car play doesn’t work. 2/3 of the time the climate controls don’t work. This van is also very far from quiet. I guess it’s all relative but my old Toyota was quieter. I also got warning lights about total loss of steering while going 70mph on a highway. Nice. Thankfully it was fast, but when the electronics in the car don’t work, that includes steering. Last but not least, I absolutely HATE the design of the driver seat. It’s literally back-breaking. Didn’t realize I’d need weekly chiropractor adjustments just to be able to have a van. I don’t think they could have made that seat more uncomfortable if they tried. Little things: I like the glasses compartments but there are not enough cubbies for other things. The driver armrest also blocks the seatbelt buckle. The third row latch doesn’t work half the time on one side. I hate this car and I’ll be that person who trades in within a year (and that’s if I make it even that far) at a huge loss. Never again. Just no. Absolutely horrible.

Wow, reading some of these reviews is scary. I thought they fixed transmission issues when they upgraded from the 9 speed to the 10 speed, but I guess not? That's a bummer. Our van has been great so far, but we've only had it 1 month. I'll update later if anything changes. We own a 2009 Odyssey as well, and the 2022 seats sit MUCH lower. Switching between the 2 vans, the 2022 feels like a car seat while the 09 sits high up like a truck. Very strange. The armrests are a downgrade, especially the pencil thin rests in the 2nd row. They're a joke. The driver-side rest is shorter than the 2009 so half my arm is hanging off it. I love the technology. For the one struggling with carplay issues, just make sure to use a better Apple cable. No problems after switching from a generic one. Love the ACC and LKAS. The van can pretty much drive itself on the interstate. I hope we can get 12 years out of this van like our old one. Oh, the A/C is not as cold as the 2009. I blame the switch to R1234yf for that. Thanks to the environmentalists.... :-/

Overall, I am sorry that I purchased this vehicle - it is just not up to the standards of previous models. The touchscreen has never worked properly. It is a major distraction to use as it takes at least 2-3 taps to get anything working and multiple functions just do not work at all because the tapping does not do anything. Incredible distraction while driving and not really possible to change radio stations or heat and stay within marked lanes. CarPlay is also problematic and it typically takes 3-4 tried to get it to recognize any phone even though the phone is getting power. Again - trying to get it working is an incredible distraction while driving and it never connects properly to the car if not running. The idle stop does not work and the dealer had no idea how to fix it. Basically it’s a piece of crap and I am strongly considering counting my losses and getting rid of it. One other issue is that the rear hatch does not open enough so at 6 feet tall I hit my head putting things in the back. Such a disappointment.

Great Family Car

Saw the reviews about the transmission and owned the van six months with 8K. So far, the vehicle has been great, took a trip to Florida and great family car. My only qualms is the tech is a bit old and the wifi hotspot is really slow. Wished they had some streaming capability since most kids watch Netflix or YouTube. Terms of driving, you can tell the difference between a V6 and 4 cylinder, instant torque you need in the Highway. This is my 4th Honda and been loyal to the brand since I never had no major issues. Just did the regular maintenance schedule.

The Honda Odyssey EXL has got a pretty classy interior. The engine and transmission combination is fairly smooth, but I've driven better (and I've driven worse). My biggest complaint is I'm not getting anywhere near the mileage rating which is advertised for that vehicle. The ride is also a bit overly smooth reminicent of a '79 Caddy. Could be just a bit tighter for my taste.I've test driven all the other new minivans and the Honda was as at least as good, if not better than the others. The new hybrid Sienna had a loud engine and did not feel as solid as the Honda. The Kia Carnival was on par with the Honda. So was the Pacifica.

No sure if the trim, probably Touring, more expensive than the EX-L. As a retired couple we do not need a camera and DVD player for the second row. We essentially require all the safety features, such as lane departure, collision mitigation, parking sensors, etc., and helpful features such as keyless entry, apple play, rear gate remote, etc.

It is a nice looking van. Smooth, quiet drive. The safety features really keep you safe on the road. Comfortable seats from front to back. The back seat is spacious enough to accommodate 3 carsits. The captain chairs in the 2nd row are comfortable. I love how the 2nd row can be adjusted in different ways. We can have them next to each other or give them a little or a lot of space between them. The trunk space is surprisingly big. It is huge. The built in mirror area at the glasses holder is great. I can check on the kids without having to turn around. However: I wish the doors had a safety feature that would stop them from closing when someone was on the way. Like an elevator ;) The vents on the front don't close and have limited redirection range. I wish they close. The compartment between the front seats need taller barriers to keep thing from falling on the drivers feet. Overall it is a great van.

A recall waiting to happen

The electronics in this car are terrible. Usually the lane assist doesn't work. The backup warning works sporadically and the auto stop never worked to begin with. I have been to the dealership at least 5 times to no avail. They let me try another new 2022 Odyssey and those features didn't work on this car either. I am fed up!

Before vehicle, with all the latest safety features including a backseat reminder check if there is weight in the back seats, how safe and cool is that. The Odyssey is quiet, comfortable and roomy. The interior and exterior have a great fit and finish. Had the Odyssey for 6 months, no issues at all. Need Wireless Air Play. Don’t like to Plug In just for Apple Car Play. The vehicle has wireless charging, why not have wireless Apple Car Play?

I never thought I would have a new vehicle I was less interested in driving. Good job to the Honda engineers for taking the joy out of driving. Loaded with electronics but can't have navigation unless you buy the top trim package with even more stuff you don't want. I hate looking at the main screen, it's useless. Love my Ford sync with the maps, radio and phone. Also not a fan of push button starter and transmission. I guess I'll consider myself lucky if I don't have the big problems others are having. Can't wait to get rid of this pos ! BTW, my own fault, wife works for a dealer and we just traded up from a '17 odyssey. Didn't do my homework, hate the changes, mea culpa.
