The previous van was a chore to drive it was loud, slow and handled like a barge. Road trips with my family of five are memorable, but in that horrible stomach flu kind of way they often turn foul after miles of crabby kids and uncomfortable parents.Ĭue the new Honda Odyssey. The Road-Trip TestĪ parenting article I recently read concluded with this: “Life with little ones goes fast take trips, make memories.” It competes against the Chrysler Pacifica, Kia Sedona and Toyota Sienna compare their specs here. ![]() The new Odyssey wears a more chiseled body - a welcome update to its old concrete-slab-like styling - and gets a slick new multimedia system and improved handling. Honda addressed all of that with the 2018 redesign. The previous-generation Honda Odyssey sunk in the Ultimate Minivan Challenge thanks to unwieldy handling, a confusing multimedia system and blah looks. Minivans are the ultimate family vehicle, tailor-made to carry the most demanding and untidiest of creatures - kids - but to this point Honda has not had the ultimate minivan. Versus the competition: The Kia Sedona and Chrysler Pacifica have more style inside and out, and while the Odyssey bests the Sedona in features, it can’t quite match the Pacifica’s winning blend of comfortable road manners and family-friendly goodies. Practically perfect in every way, it dazzles with improved road manners, an intuitive new multimedia system and more creature comforts than a bottomless carpetbag. ![]() The verdict: Like Mary Poppins, the 2018 Odyssey is a capable, enchanting family helper.
