I keep comparing this to my 10 year old mini van
I traded in my 10 year old grand caravan for a new 2022 Honda Odyssey. Maybe I expected too much but I miss my old van! The heat and air does not work half as well as my old van! I can not even tell that the seats are heated. It gets slightly warm but that is it. I like to remote start the vehicle to get it warmed up in the winter and I run it two cycles (20 minutes) and it is still cold when I get it. Yes, we have the heat settings full blast on high. What is going on. My old mini would be almost too hot on one cycle. The air and heat are LOUD when turned up high. Much louder than my old mini. Another thing that is really annoying is the remote start. Most vehicles allow remote from the app, however Honda makes you pay a yearly fee!!! That right there is enough for me to never buy another Honda. The push button controls did not fully engage in drive and it sounded like the car was going to explode, I quickly pulled over to restart the car and hope that it would be in the right gear. I have less than 5000 miles on this vehicle and I am ready to trade it in:(

So far so good.
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.... :-/

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.

Great but needs more….
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).

Van Review 2023 Sport
Honda is not quality like it was. Expensive service schedule and Honda still uses dinosaur designs, such as timing belts. Some dealers are unable to repair anything more than super basic stuff, even after days of repeat visits. For quality, reliability, MPG, and cost to own..... only choice is a Sienna... Sorry the truth hurts, but the Odyssey ain't what we hoped for, and paid a premium price, for.
