Honda’s Odyssey ($30,155, including transportation) regularly tops U.S. minivan sales, as it has for the last three years in a row.
-
The front-wheel-drive (all-wheel-drive is not available) Odyssey is available in seven- and eight-passenger configurations. Each is powered by a 248-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6 mated with a six-speed automatic transmission. EPA estimates are a very good 22 mpg combined (19 city/28 highway).
-
Standard features include full power accessories, a rearview camera, two-zone manual air-conditioning, an eight-way power driver seat, a four-way power front-passenger seat, a 60/40-split folding third-row seat, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity and a seven-speaker audio system.

All of Honda’s products bristle with family friendly amenities. Conversation mirrors enable crucial parent/child eye contact. Cooling boxes chill the fruit juice; seats disappear into floors; vacuum cleaners pop out of cargo-compartment enclosures.
-
All trims but the base LX get an 8-inch touchscreen that provides access to audio-system features and serves as a rearview-camera display. Models with navigation get a second, 7-inch color display. Some find the two-screen setup confusing; paradoxically, though, it simplifies multiple controls.
