The Odyssey has the best seat setup of any minivan on the market, by a large margin. Standard 8th seat, which is usable, easy to flip the 3rd row, adjustable 2nd row without floor rails to collect debris from kiddos. see full Honda Odyssey review |

Nice and roomy 2nd row, we really like the Wide mode seating. Very nice 3rd row usable by adults. see full Honda Odyssey review |

The seats are still more thinly padded than the competition - and the third row seat angle is merely adequate. My mother in law noted that our Ody 3rd row is really like a standard seat - not "3rd class" - but the Pacifica made her feel like she was "stuck in the back". see full Honda Odyssey review |

Decent torque from the 3.5 litre drivetrain. For long trips use 91 octane for best fuel efficiency. We managed 500 miles on a tank of 91 octane on a trip from San Diego to San Jose! We're starting to get a vibration from the transmission though.....Similar feel to our previous Odyssey before the transmission had problems and we had to sell it. =( (We are now at 145,xxx miles so at least this one lasted longer than our previous. Our previous Odyssey's transmission started having issues at 90k miles, after the dealer updated the software....) see full Honda Odyssey review |

The powertrain was very good. Although I have had a negative experience with the ZF 9 speed (a rental Cherokee I had only for 24 hours), in this car, it was either evenly matched or bugs worked out. In practice, it was pretty seamless. The engine was smooth and power delivery very even. Large kickdowns on the highway were not jerky, even when I tried to trick the transmission with large inconsistent throttle inputs. City streets (suburban), I did not notice it at all - just as it should be. see full Honda Odyssey review |

Sluggish acceleration. Felt little if any better than our 11-year-old model. see full Honda Odyssey review |
