Super great car, with a few issues

The car is great in almost every way - drives like a luxury sedan, is quiet, responsive and hi tech. There are a few annoying aspects. The driver's / front row seat belt should ride up about an inch higher. I'm 6'1" and its not quite high enough. Not a show stopper but certainly annoying. The arm rests for the second row seats are like sticks. They have no width to them. These won't comfortably support an adult's arms. What the heck? It seems like they cheaped out on this to save a few dollars but its ridiculous. Bad decision on their part. Another very bad decision on the design is that they seemed to have reduced the height of the interior (and overall height) of the car. I could load two or three biikes in my old Odyssey with the middle seats out with no diffifculty. In the new Odyssey its very very difficult to arrange two bikes to fit. Possible but difficult. I know they're trying to make the car sleeker, but reducing the height just takes away functionality. One reason to buy a minivan is for its loading capacity. The height dimension is important. Again why did they do this? This is the most annoying change to the vehicle. Anyway, other than that, the car is just great.

Switched from 2007 to 2022

I had my 2007 ocean mist Odyssey EXL for 14 years with 215,000 miles on it when I totaled it on a frozen bridge couple of miles from home. My kids grew up in that van that took us all over the USA and Canada. Never had any issues. It was a truly family vehicle with tons of storage space. Wife insisted on another Odyssey. Got 2022 EXL in March of 2021. The vehicle looks sharp, handling is amazing so is the acceleration. Ton of safety features that practically allows van to be “self driving .” Wife and my grown kids love the new van. I am not crazy about it though. Yes, I love the electronic steering versus pump driven one, but I feel the hesitation in the gear shifting. I am not implying the the transaction is bad, it’s just different from the 2007 model. What bothers me also is that the van doesn’t feel to be a family hauler anymore. They made it sporty while completely removing the in floor storage along with all the hidden storage components that used to be in the third generation Odysseys. The grill on 21-22 models is different from 18-20 models and it’s ugly. Wish Honda kept the original one. It’s my personal opinion based on observations that the Honda quality isn’t there. It feels as if the “dealership will fix” mentality has taken over since there’s a huge deficit of the new vehicles. In couple of spots I see the gap misaligned and the rubber weatherstripping on the lift gate window is kinked and twisted. Overall the van is a good buy and no major issues.

Truly Elite!

2022 Honda Odyssey Elite 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 10A)

After selling our beloved Toyota Sienna this spring, we purchased a 2022 Odyssey Elite in June and have already taken it on a week+ road trip from Minneapolis to NYC, CT and Cape Cod, followed by a shorter journey to the North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota. It is currently sitting at just under 5K miles, and we have loved every minute of owning this Odyssey. We met or exceeded the estimated highway MPG on both of our trips, and we have never driven in such a quiet vehicle. Both road noise and other ambient noise are effectively mitigated. We have found the Odyssey to be supremely comfortable, fast, smooth and quiet, and we have enjoyed all of the nooks and crannies for storage. Plenty of room even with our dog and kennel along. All-in-all: A truly elite road trip vehicle. (Also, top safety ratings were a driving factor in our decision to purchase, but glad we waited some of the refinements made in the 2021/22 models.)

First time in a Honda

This is the 8th van that I have owned. The first being a 1963 model year. They have come a long way in 60 years. I have owned Ford Chevy Mercury and Dodge vans and have been driving them for most of my 52 Years of driving. When I first started looking I had my mind on a Chrysler Pacifica. That Idea ended when I found out they did not have a spare tire and there was not place to put one. A spare tire is very important to me and I would never buy a vehicle without one. After back to researching I looked at the Odyssey. It had a spare tire so that meant a trip to my local dealer to see what a Odyssey was about. I was impressed at the looks inside and out so I took one for a test ride. I liked the way it handled and it was so much quieter then the Grand Caravan I was presently driving. So the next day I was the owner of a Odyssey sport. I have driven this about 7000 in the 5 1/2 months I have owned it and so far I am very happy with it. It handles great and is very comfortable and quiet. With being the first Honda I have owned It did take a little getting use to the controls because every manufacturer does some things a little different. I was careful of the color I picked because my neighbors on each side of me both have a Honda Odyssey so I had to pick a color in between. The only complaint I have about the Odyssey so far is the cruise control and not keeping a consistent speed. Yes is will slow down if I get close to a vehicle in front of me. That is not what I am talking about. If I set the cruise for 70 It will be anywhere between 68 and 72 and there will not be a car in sight. It will not hold a steady speed where it is set. It can go from 68 to 72 in a very short time. This is the first time I have ever had this problem. In the past if I had the cruise set it might slow down 1 mph if I was going up a hill. This slow downs and speeds up going up or down a hill or even on flat land. A minor problem but does get very frustrating at times. Especially if I am in the right lane and someone is passing me and all of a sudden it starts to speed up. There was also one time when I was driving along and all of a sudden it quickly slowed down from 65 to 55 for no reason in a couple of seconds. I was happy no one was right behind me. Other then that It has been a great vehicle and I would highly recommend it. I just wish the center seats would fold down into the floor like the 3rd row. But for the most part it has all the room need.

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.
