New 2016 Odyssey -- First 20,000 miles

By Jim Carlins written on 07-16-2016

The main difference between models is features. The basic vehicle is the same. There is no factory protection applied to the fabric interior. A real oversight for a vehicle to carry around sloppy children, or in our case grandchildren. I added a dealer protection package which included interior and exterior clear coat and was the only option. It would be better to negotiate this adder before agreeing to purchase. Internet pricing for the dealers allowed me to get the best price and the color I wanted. I highly recommend using it for your shopping. The vehicle performed well for the first 6 months and 8,000+ miles. Very reliable operation, comfortable ride, good gas efficiency. During a trip to Florida we approached 30 mpg for a few all highway segments of the drive, and 28+ was typical. Around town with combine highway and city driving yields 20 - 25 mpg. A few trips pulling a fully loaded trailer through the hills dropped vehicle efficiency to 15 - 17 mpg, which is acceptable for that infrequent type of usage. After 18 months and 20,000 miles the vehicle has continued to be a solid performer. No anomalies or problems have arisen. The vehicle delivers a comfortable ride while maintaining flexibility and versatility of use. Our vehicle carries 8 passengers with our extended family; the interior is easily reconfigured to haul supplies; the roof racks transport our kayaks; and the trailer hitch to transport our bicycles. The roof racks and trailer hitch are optional features but essential to our active lifestyle. The backup camera is a great feature. However with snowy winter weather, the camera lens must be occasionally cleared of slush to maintain visibility. Not a big issue, just something to be aware of.

2016 Odyssey SE is the Best Minivan Money Can Buy!

By Tom Bao written on 01-30-2016

2016 Odyssey SE is a great buy because it includes the cool features, such as built-in vacuum cleaner and DVD entertainment system, that were only previously available on the higher-end Odyssey models that cost thousands of dollars more. We were able to get this nice vehicle for $1100 below the dealer's invoice price. Honda financing of 0.9% for 60 months and the free life-time powertrain warranty make our purchase of the SE so much sweeter! February 2, 2017 Update: The Odyssey SE is still a great vehicle overall. The only setback is the logic of controls. The dashboard was poorly designed and confusing to use!

Love the vehicle; hate the buying experience

By Terrence written on 05-18-2016

After 12 years, 222,000 miles and raising 3 children with our 2004 Odyysey EX-L, we decided to buy another one. It's still an awesome vehicle for the intended purpose. This is my wife's daily driver, so she has to be happy. If you get car sick easily beware of this van's tendency. In the beginning the transmission was jerky as it was wearing in, and that was bothersome. But after 700 miles now it seems to be smoothing out. Everything else is great. My only other advice is to avoid contact with Honda dealerships as much as you can. We contacted multiple dealers as we were looking at both gently used and new vehicles and the experience was bad at every one. We've bought other vehicles in the past from Honda and other makes and had good impressions, but this time we truly felt like just a number to them. It was so disappointing!
