Looking to buy a Honda Odyssey (the Deadpool minivan) or any vehicle? Go to carconfections.com/new-car-quotes to learn about invoice pricing and get the BEST PRICE on vehicles in your local area!
Yeah, all Odyssey’s do is run forever with virtually no issues. Do the maintenance and sit back and drive for years. Screw the LEDs, digital this and that, etc. You want style? Buy something else. You want comfort and reliability, it’s the Odyssey.
Ya know a car can be tech savvy, hybrid, luxurious and reliable too right? You don’t have to drive a boring car and pay insane price for such cars. I’m just sayin that shouldn’t have to be cars philosophy. Kinda why I prefer Toyota and Hyundai/kia
I have a 2020 and love it. People may smirk when I say this, but it is overpowered and will flat out get up and go if you hammer the throttle. Very impressive powertrain. My biggest complaint is the gas mileage. It's pretty horrific, even if you drive like grandpa.
it's not very hard to "overpower" even a well engineered FWD vehicle. Turn and stomp will induce terminal understeer. Assuming it has sufficient power, which this one does. Not much smileage in the fuel efficiency department, my RDX gets about 18.1 mpg with the same V6.
Honda needs to step up their game. No LED taillights, turn signals, reverse lights for 2025? No new style steering wheel, no HUD, full digital gauge cluster for a large minivan? Come on, Honda!
I’ll be honest, I really don’t care about full digital gauge clusters since they just add complexity and cost, and if it goes back into purchase price, I’m fine without them. Plus, a lot of the ones on the market aren’t that configurable anyways. I’m just not a fan of cutting costs there and still charging more than competitors.
Honda America cheaps out everything they possibly can for the American Customers. For example the CR-V in Europe and other region have: Led rear turn signals, Full digital gauge cluster (we get half even with the fully loaded model), Ventilated seats, heated rear seats, fog lamps, ambient lighting, Dynamic front turn signals, Panaromic sunroof and power folding mirrors. North American CR-V’s don’t have any of these features. Yet they charge the money for a similarly but well loaded Hyundai Tucson which has most of the features listed above. Honda really cheaps out for American customers and It’s kind of disappointing. I’d rather buy a rav4 which is a bit more expensive but has most of those features. The only excuse honda can give for charging so much for a super cheaped out CR-V is probably “Space” 🤡.
@@AyatAlSharif That’s seriously what I was going to say. Why does the odyssey doesn’t have those features, but the Pilot does? Like come on. Plus, Accord having a 12 inch screen while the odyssey and Pilot don’t is just nonsense. And this sitll has the old VTEC SOHC V6 and not the New Pilot’s 3.5L DOHC 285hp V6.
@@GarlandTexasSpotter2024 Seriously man, Honda America is so complicated. If you really want a honda in America then just get Acura because even if you buy the top fully loaded model you will miss out a ton of features.
@@AyatAlSharif Acura MDX is seriously the worst luxury SUV’s of all time. Cramped 3rd row, old fashion Piano Black needs to go. Lexus TX, RX for the win. Honda’s Worst Vehicle and the worst ranked is the Honda HR-V because it is uncomfortable and insanely slow! It needs a 2.0T or a 1.5T. And not a 2.0 Naturally Aspirated.
Useful, I have it on my Audi Q7, but it’s almost impossible to accidentally hit anything with my 2023 Odyssey because it has front and rear parking sensors, 8 in total
Nahh i think its time for honda to give this a complete redesign. The changes are reasonable but it still looks dated even for a 2025 and the fact that there isn’t a single LED component in the taillight besides that one running light is a bit of a disappointment, considering the a base honda civic has LED’s and this is 52 grand. And yes I agree, having bo hybrid powertrain is a bit of a deal breaker considering gas prices these days and people tend to take these on long trips. But if none of that really matters to the person buying this, it’s perfect.
I remember when minivans ruled the American driveways. I myself got suck into a dodge caravan. Things were bad all over for us young dads. Finally our eldest moved into a new life as children do. The remaining off spring would enjoy the comforts of a nice sedan. And I could enjoy driving again.
Not me. The kids moved out and the wife wanted to stop driving the minivan so she got a small suv. That left me with nothing to carry my mower, lumber projects, COSCO purchases, etc so, after a few years, I traded MY sedan in for a minivan and have never looked back. She still thinks I'm a nerd but understands. 🙃
@@simsniel I agree, the Honda SUV offerings are Odysseys in slightly macho-ized frocks. Last thing they need is an AWD minivan cannibalizing their sales.
All I care about is the v6 V-tec engine, not about it doesn’t have enough cameras or the screen is to small 😂😂😂😂😂go get a KIA you hater’s and it won’t last you long compared to a Honda Odyssey 😊😊😊😊
I have a '19 and love seeing that they still have 4 way lumbar. Weird that the other vehicles like Pilot Passport and Ridgeline skimp with 2way. Funny enough, my gauge cluster is all digital except fuel and emp gauges. Can confirm this van is a monster highway cruiser. Love ours. Also, not sure how I hadn't subscribed but but went ahead and did that. Y'all do great work, keep it up! :)
I'd take this over the Sienna because you can have it with 8 seats in top trims and the middle row can be removed. Sienna is too compromised as a minivan. You also have to wait months and/or pay thousands over invoice.
Yes that is one thing Honda does well, allowing you to have 8 seats, even in higher trims. The Sienna 8 passenger version has a horrible middle seat that looks like an after thought. I don't know why more people don't mention this. Have the option of a 2nd row branch seat is really important
Overall still the best mini-van for what mini-vans should be good at: largest space, no screaming turbo on hybrid drivetrain, and also the best design.
The Odyssey gets a knock for the "no AWD", but it does have a Snow mode. I haven't heard any reviewers talk about this. Is it an good? How does it work? Would adding snow tires get you to 90% of AWD and would that be good enough for most drivers?
I have been following y'all for a long time now, but it's my first time seeing the stuffed donuts used to measure center console volume. Lol. I absolutely love it!! 💪😄🔥
03:00 - That reflector installed at end corners of rear bumper are going to cause more damager during fender benders. A full uncut bumper gives more better protection compared to one that's cut to incorporate a reflector.
Oh regarding the decibel level...back in May I checked the decibel level of the cicada outbreak, and that registered around 65 decibels. So there ya go on that deal.
you must absolutely add to the odyssey: awd. pano-roof. 360-cam. timing chain. (no timing belt get rid of it. but non-turbo. turbo v4 is not good option. v6 naturally aspirated plus plugin with extra large battery) slow-traffic follow feature. built-in vacuum cleaner must be returned to the car. light-off-roading pack option. (with high clearance and some other light-off-roading features) also needed a additional extra front and other lights females have trouble to see at night (in comparison to men this is biology thing) and vans are driven by many females.
Awesome minivan and for me the best 👌 however, I wish Honda did more on exterior and interior technology they make Hondajet and coming out with new jet soon. I wish they at least included hybrid systems and shawd, more colours interior and exterior, more technology, and showcase that Honda is an engineering and innovation company first over an account driven company first as Mr Honda philosophy.
It's almost sa.e as 2023 or 2024. I hope the bigger issue they resolve caben noise. Odyssey caben is very noisy. I don't think so it's will be most selling vehicle, only the reason they selling more Odyssey because of shortage of other vehicles
I wonder what's the breakdown on how many people actually buy the top of the line trims in general. I wish car reviewers would do more reviews using the (I assume, more popular) mid-level trim level cars.
Refresh?? Six years with the same box 😂. Huge fan here since 2008, owned 4 of them.. Basically same minivan since..Only good thing is Honda has not changed the powerful V6!!
Even though I am a die-hard Honda Odyssey fan, I can't say that I am not deeply disappointed with what Honda did, or rather did not do, to the 2025 model. I believe Honda is outdated in many aspects of design and technology. I owned a top-tier Odyssey back in 2012 and the specs have remained almost the same since then. The other cars in this segment have passed Honda a lot
It is a shame that the second row of seats cannot be folded completely. Such a big car, and it only frees up 160 cm for a lounger in the back, It's not enough for a person of average height to sleep in the back.
Mine starting giving problems after 100K on my 2013. Started getting misfires. Got a "VCM Muzzler" and installed it... everything ok since then, about 10 months.
We have a 2008 Touring Model, and we're in the market for a new one. I got some inheritance money coming in that would pretty much pay for one of these in total, but will probably finance a bit of it. Don't really blow it all in one place, right?
The refreshed Kia Carnival makes this refreshed Honda Odyssey look old. I understand Honda reliability but wow Kia’s design team took this Minivan/MPV segment to a whole new standard in both interior and exterior styling.
Except the Kia interior is less functional. Honda has far more small item space and simpler controls. That new haptic infotainment/hvac control setup in the Kia is dreadful. For real world usability, you can’t top Honda. For glitz Kia is great.
Was waiting for this review - it doesn't seem like it makes sense to spend more money on a new 2025 Odyssey if you can get a great price on a 2024 Elite given the limited updates to the 2024. The cargo (people hauler, stuff hauler)in either beats Pilot, but the AWD in Pilot better for wintery roads. Tough to decide between a 2024 Odyssey Elite and a 2025 Pilot Elite....would be nice to see a Car Confections comparison.... ;-)
Why didnt the Odyssey get a redesign instead? The redesign is expected for the 2027 or 2028 model year while sharing platforms with the Fifth Gen MDX and Pilot
Sorry to say, but honda should stop making cars if they are not willing to innovate and give customers what they ask for. Just the civic is kinda relevant
Looks like they brought Pontiac Transport back. Makes sense since Honda is sharing parts w GM now. There is very little change really, just lipstick on a pig situation.
