What Makes The Honda Odyssey So Great? 

The Odyssey is a beast. Effortless to drive with hilarious power. Rolls over rough roads like a tank. And a boatload of cargo space.

If your looking for a minivan to haul the kiddies in you should absolutely buy a nissan 350z they need to grow some hair on their chest throw them in the trunk start them while their young. Absolute hilarious line keep up the good work Mark!

My father has a 2nd gen Odyssey (The one with the power sliding doors). Its pretty good, I have 3 brothers and we all fit inside it. Once the transmission broke and we could not use it for a while but he managed to fix it. Amazing car! We also live in Finland and its really rare here.

Been a minivan guy for 10 years now. Converted from a minitrucker after my first kid. They were cheaper than SUVs and still way more practical than current pickup trucks for day to day use. I can fit 4x8 sheets of plywood or drywall in the back of my van with the seats folded down. Can't do that with a 5.5' pickup bed and I dont want drywall getting caught in the rain on my drive home.

Bought a used 2005 Odyssey in 2005 w/ 40,000 miles on it. 5 kids, countless beach vacations, hauling band equipment, wife's daily driver and 220,000 miles later. It has proven itself time and time again and runs a close second as the best/favorite vehicle I ever owned.

My very first car was a Honda Odyssey. Very fun while I had it, ended up putting an 18 inch subwoofer in the back. Sadly transmission issues occurred a lot

Honestly the Odyssey is goated. I have a 3rd gen, 2008. Haul the band and our groupie & equipment? No problem. Have sex in the back? No problem, tinted windows even. Street race a Toyota Camry? No problem. Even on top of that, super comfortable ride, decent gas mileage, and super great value for the features you get. Many people overlook the value part of getting backup cameras, bluetooth, power tailgates, parking assists (on some trims of the 3rd gen), automatic sliding doors, leather heated seats, and a sunroof for less than $10k nowadays, with bulletproof reliability. Just had to express my love for the minivan.

Great video Mark! My brother bought one for his wife and my sister drives one. They are unique mini vans. Not terrible to work on and have potential! Keep up the great content.

I absolutely agree, if you’re going to get some thing with a compromised driving experience i.e. not a performance car, then go all in on either practicality or fuel savings. they are wonderful vehicles for just handling life.

I'm a car guy, I own a 2021 Odyssey for the wife and it really is incredibly great! Fast and comfortable with great mileage too.

I got my 2013 EXL for $7k and it's my favorite car I've owned! It's only 1s slower 0-60 than my aunt's 08 Mustang V6, and has the same motor Bisimoto used to make 1000+hp. It has a drink chiller, 3 different AC zones, heated side mirrors and auto dimming rear view, GREAT radio, etc. Parts are dirt cheap to buy new on the internet. AND 27mpg highway, which is only 2mpg less than my 98 Corolla, in a 4500lb brick with 250hp!

the RB2 Absolute has been and still will be the best looking longboi there ever will be. nothing can ever change my mind

I got a 2015 odyssey and it’s ridiculously fast for a fwd car especially a mini van, also does some insane burnouts. This thing whips past bmws and can smoke most cars

My 2012 odyssey touring addition with 190k miles achieved 25mpg avg on a 800 mile road trip last week I was impressed.

My family once had a Honda Odyssey RB1 and it was one of the best car we ever had in years. It's such a shame that my dad ended up selling it to meet ends meet but now he's looking to buy it back

Saved up money for a while to buy one of these. Then I tell people I got an Odyssey and they seem disappointed. There is so much potential in the vehicles when customized right they look so nice

I love the Hondas but don’t understand why Honda appears to hate aftermarket stereos because they integrate vehicle settings in dual screens now. I’ve even seen older generation Civics end up with two radios

owned a 99 for 14 years. total reliable. had to replace the transmission though

I have a 2014 that I bought new and I love it. 250,000 miles no problems. ( All Honda V6's need a VSCM muzzler on them or you will kill the rings). I am acar guy and a MX guy and it is great for towing my MX bike trailer to the races with.

I bought a 2007 odyssey in 2015 88,000 kilometres it now has 140,000 kilometres I have 1 scratch and changed 2 headlight globes, and other than services and fuel it has not missed a beat. It was in such great condition a few friends thought it was brand new.

Dude your storytelling skills are thru the roof top notch. Keep it up!!

As a DJ the odyssey is hands on what i need. ❤

I felt in love with the RA platform in 2006. Since then I've owned 5 and my wife has owned 3 different RL1s. The J35 is an amazing engine!

I love the odyssey I have my 2002 with over 220000 miles and still runs like a champ no major issues in the past 20 years, I'm going to drive her to the ground or until my kids still live at home

I grew up to love this car, my parents have owned the 08, 13, and now 23 odysseys and now I'm learning to drive in one it's a fun car to drive

I bought one 2 years ago 2005 105 thousand original miles I parked it for about 2 years and know 4 months ago I'm driving it all day all over the country and it's a great mini van 300 horse power it's fast

I bought a used 2001 Odyssey off Facebook Marketplace for $900. It had a bad transmission so it would hard shift from 1st into 2nd. But despite that, it was a solid van for a year. And Honda just puts Vtech into everything so its kinda quick. Now I have a 2005 Honda Pilot and its a cherry. We need some Pilot builds lol so thats my plan haha.

whats cool about the odyssey is its very low roof line which made it stand out. the third gen RB series was the best looking in my opinion. too bad they never came manual.

Just bought a 07 ody couple days ago. And its my 2nd one. I love the look of this body style. The one thing i HATE is the VCM. Luckily i knew about the VCM muzzler delete or i wouldn't bought it

My dad have Odyssey rb1 2004. It has 200 hp and it very fast for mpv/mini van. That is the perfect car i ever ride

I own a white 2000 honda Odyssey and i absolutely LOVE it. (Her name is shelly) Ive had her for almost 10 years with minimal issues. No plants to ever get rid of her. Was my first car and compared to my 2006 toyota corolla shes definitely Ol' reliable has over 225 thousand miles and still running smooth as butter!❤

I have a 2007 Odyssey that I got from my girlfriend to pull a Quad runner end up liking it so much I completely reconditioned it, now I use it for all my highway trips and took it to California to North Dakota and received 29MPG with plenty of room for luggage, it was just me and my girlfriend but seeing other people in there cars filled up and sagging in the rear made me realize that you don't need a big family to enjoy this vehicle.

I always thought the Odyssey is kind of slept on, for sure one day going to be my kid hauler

You should do the 97 Toyota Previa All trac Mid engine + supercharged And it came from factory with forged pistons

The video quality from when I started watching you to now has honestly improved so much. It's so much more light-hearted and funny

Finally someone who agrees with me!

The Odyssey is definitely slept on. I own a highly modded RL1. It’s the only one I’ve seen in the tri state area. gets compliments everywhere I go.

I've seen some pretty good odyssey builds. I wouldn't mind building one. It's better than all the common cookie cutter builds. Mini van build is rare and different.

as a kid who has a car lift and the car is a Honda odyssey, I could say it’s pretty good only bad thing is the sun roof some of the kids want to go out and look out sometimes so I can’t see

My boyfriend beat some dude driving a dodge dart in my 2005 Honda Odyssey. Shit was funny as hell, dude wasn't expecting to be beat by a minivan that's for sure. I love my Honda Odyssey I never knew I could be so obsessed with a car. Looking to lift it soon so it can be a little better in heavy snow conditions because I live where winter is half the year. Such an amazing peice of machine I figured I want to have some fun with it too.

Love this 🚙 Honda power van..can you do one on toyota sienna my buddy got smoked by one him driving a built Integra I was surprised and we all made fun of it 😀 but then I found my self buying a 2k10 sienna and they're also amazing 👏.. thanks again 🏁✌️🏎🏍🚘

Nice video - I don’t have a Honda but not being a Nissan fanboy I can still appreciate any minivan with a decent lump in it. I ended up buying an imported JDM E51 Elgrand which has the VQ35DE 3.5L V6. Very practical, you can camp in it & great fun when the traffic light turns green 😂 And that particular lump has a bit in common with the 350z

Hell yeah, my daily is an odyssey. Its one of my favorite cars ive owned

Hey. Fun fact, my 06 saturn vue has a J35S1 from honda from the factory.

I got a 2001 in 2015 with 200,000 plus miles on it since then the only things i've replaced are radiator alternator brakes and tires! the trans whines but still hasn't died! I'm at 298,000 miles now! bought the wife a 2008 from copart had to put a trans in it, but i only paid $900 for it! Love my odysseys!

In Japan, I've always loved the Elysion. Its basically an Odyssey, but cooler.

As a proud owner of a 2012 EX-L it definitely hauls both the kids and......well its quick and handles great for a mini school bus but can't figure out how they managed the fuel economy into the mix as well

I just love the j series, and any car I’ve ever driven with on has been fun. Sure they’re not the fastest, and have little aftermarket, but the feedback is just great, especially in a manual.

The Odyssey looks like it should have a bumper sticker that says: I’m station wagon.

I’m the same way but with the Honda Pilots. I’m absolutely in love with my gen 1.0. Gonna be getting a new daily after winter so the Pilot can be turned into a Homie hauler track car. Gutted interior, roll cage, 6 bucket seats, rotate in engine chassis and a build a twin turbo j35a8, crv 6spd mt swap, possibly s center diff, rear mount radiator where my spare tire would go underneath ( radiator won’t fit with engine rotated, wheels and coils, and paint and cosmetics. I’d have a long expensive road a head of me because literally no one does anything else besides lifting the Pilots. There’s not even a damn cold air intake for my gen. I’m lucky to have a good friend that’s a Honda Tech and the fact going to school for welding. This cars gonna end up in my will after my death

thx for making video i drive a 09 for work and i keep up with r/t chargers its amazing what the skip shift button does

After owning and lowering a rl1 it was the best car ever before the trans blew but still. The werid thing is the second gen in Japan was called a lagreat and they where so much cooler then the ones here.

It's time to chronicle the wonderment of the 2004 Honda Pilot. 😌

I got a 2001 Honda odyssey it’s been 24 or something years the gearbox is from the company it needed no maintance the AC all the things are real from the company and it’s been 23 years since I’m using it the gears everything good it’s from the company everything it works perfect after 23 FRIKIN years now that’s what u call the king of reliability

Ive got the 2007, absolutely insane car feels more like a battering ram than a car

Bro I love the RL1 Odyssey. My mom owned one and it was by far the best looking minivan on the market. I'm actually looking to buy one now just because I love them. Funny enough I already drive a CR2 Accord Sport and it's a nice car obviously because it's a Honda.

I’ve owned a 2Gen and 3Gen. Loved them.

My best friend and his wife+ kids had one. They had like 380k miles on it till the trans had to rebuild, was then passed down to one of our good friends, who just had a kid and found out #2 is on the way. Would love one for myself to be honest. Tired of riding in coupe's and getting out to let people in

Love my Odyssey! It does it all!

The black ops music in the background is amazing

Odyssey is the best van out there, I owned 2 and I love them. By the way, I am still with my second one. Honda used the all round concept with a little of everything and beat the other competitors. Most of the other vans have AWD and hybrids but the the odyssey out sells them still.

finally!, my family told me imma loser for loving the odyssey, my dad had a tan 2nd gen odyssey, it survived the winter in michigan and the summer in oklahoma then we got rid of it but still a good car

3rd gen odyssey is my favorite vehicle. I'd sell our 1.8t/5mt Mk4 Jetta to keep the odyssey with no shame. Only thing they can't do is tow, thats why we have a obs Yukon.

Lmao the mustang race at the end

When Toyota has a minivan that comes stock with 296 hp

My neighbor had to take his Toyota Tundra to the Dealership for Routine Maintenance, I followed him in their 2018 Odyssey. Some Hellcat was at a light and didn’t realize that this van would move that fast

I love this video … second generation Changed engine abs Trans under 3k Runs like new! Health is Wealth

I DD a third gen while my Fit sits out the winter in the garage. It's a tank. I chopped up an RSX chassis and hauled it to the dump inside the Odyssey. I till need to haul away the doors...

this was a really great video, made me rethink everything i thought about minivans

the usdm 92-96 prelude was the only chassis to get a single cam f series, it got the f22a1 that made 130hp at the crank

I LOVE THIS VIDEO I definitely know what I am doing with my 2014 once my kids are outta carseats and big enough

Minivan get ignored. Good for the used market, as you pointed out. Very easy to work on these if you like to wrench.

Engine is the 3.5 v6 which makes decent power but Transmissions were trash.

That type 6 civic hatch towards the end was sickomode

My dad 2016 odyssey finally hit 100k miles at first my cousin wanted a Toyota Venza until i tell him to go check out a 2015 odyssey next day he bought it then his neighbor saw my dad and him own one the neighbor sold their sienna for one then my relatives in Arizona bought new ones.

i own a honda odyssey RB1 jdm model...and im proud of it..slowly making it a sporty but comfy minivan...wait...it was label as a station wagon before it is label as a minivan right now.. but yea.. i love it much and keeping it until my kids (if i have any) are proud of the car..

8:00 that joke got me 😂

At the 00:53 second mark the parking lot that video was taken is the dealer I work for in St. Augustine!

Odyssey mugen vtec goes hard

My mom has a 2012 and its actually pretty fun to drive

Yeah if you like lemons transmission went out at 120,000 they put a rebuilt one in saying they don't have new ones in that one went out in 30,000

Watching as I drive my 01 odyssey an hour to work… hell yea bro 🤘

i just got a 2013 odyssey back in may, its white, Ive thought about modding it I just dont know where to start lol

Just found your channel through this video. It was awesome, I have subbed. Keep up the good work!

YESSIRRR I WANNA TUNE ONE SO BAD

The JDM oddesy is SO MUCH BETTER then the north American one

I always wanted to make a 70,s Disco style Honda Odyssey

Did you know that the Cannonball Record holder has 2 Honda Odysseys? May I introduce you too, "Vandit"...

i'm 20 years old and also a gm fanboy, but i remember when i was younger and that one top gear episode came out where rutledge brought out that souped up honda odyssey and i just remember saying to myself how cool that shit was. fast forward to me being 18 and my uncle gave my dad a 2005 honda pilot that i ended up driving mostly since my dad has a 97 4runner and i basically drive that shit like a type r on the highway. truly a night and day difference to the 4runner. my parents didn't have the money to buy me a tahoe or anything so i was just stuck with the pilot. -- I say that to say the pilot and the souped up odyssey really made me respect hondas more; more specifically the pilot and the odyssey, and i would no doubt consider buying a odyssey and souping it up as well if i had the money.

you missed the bes today, the jam one with the k24 and 5 speed manual... that'sliterally the one on the thumbnail

Appreciate you Mark 👍🏼

1st gen Odyssey FTW!

I have the 1995 honda odyssey ex . It has 412,000 miles. Best one made

Just lifted my ‘07 lol. Going overland camper Yo!

Love my RA1.

I loved this video, funny and facts along the whole video

Rb1 with k24 engine is the beast !!!

Michael Scott is Awesome

My parents have 2002 ex I want that van to have 1,000,000 miles before she done with her work. I and my older sister learned how to drive in it. I am in a Facebook group the admin swapped his annoying automatic with much better manual. I want a Honda j series engine so bad 240hp at 5500 rpm is a beast for 2002. Toyota sienna doesn't have much hp but it goes. Honda maybe putting their dohc v6 a treatment fro all their models and Acuras.

My 2000 odyssey had a completely flat floor with middle seats removed. My 2019 sucks with huge tracks sticking up with middle seats removed. The 2019 does have great power
