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.

I was trying to hold off for the 2024 because of the rumors of a redesign and possible hybrid but circumstances had me shop early. I’m okay with it! I got the Touring trim and the parking sensors and blind spot alerts are great. It has great power to drive on the crazy streets of Houston and the highway MPG is averaging 26-28, but the city driving is 18-19 MPG. Overall average after 8000 miles is 21 MPG. The interior is nice with the leather and a great feeling steering wheel. The steering wheel controls are easy to use and convenient. I don’t see a purpose for the paddle shift controls. The Touring also comes with “Cabin Watch” that allows me to see the little ones in the back seats from my main console screen. I think the kids like that more than I do! My favorite feature is the middle row seats! You can remove the center seat and slide the two outer seat together. It gives some room on either/both sides for 3rd row entry and I’m a big fan of that. Plenty of interior room for the family! The downside to it all would be that I’m 6’2” and it’s just enough legroom in the driver seat for me to be happy with. The seat sits as a funny angle that makes my hips tight after long trips but not too much to complain about. Lastly, the exterior of the van is questionable. I leaned on the sliding door while pumping gas one day and felt the body dent in. Luckily it didn’t stay dented and it popped back into place but it did worry me for a moment. I hope it’s designed to do that. Overall, great van so far and Honda is very reliable. Plenty of power and no lag. I average 350/365 miles per tank without going into fuel reserve. The middle row needs a little more leg room but the theirs row is spacious and my older kids no longer complain about leg room (compared to my previous SUV).

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.
