Given that these traits are paramount among family car buyers, it's easy to see why the Honda Odyssey remains our top pick for a minivan. Furthermore, the Odyssey's unparalleled combination of agility, capable V6 power, utility, convenience and safety ultimately outweighs our comparably minor complaints. Some of these drawbacks are not without their silver linings, though, as the hard plastics and thick leather are easy to clean and able to absorb years of hard use. On higher trim levels, even the leather upholstery is decidedly downmarket. An abundance of hard plastics serve to cheapen the experience, an excessive amount of buttons overcomplicate even the simplest of tasks, and iPod integration is notably absent. Still, the Odyssey's impressive all-around talent should earn it a spot on every minivan buyer's test-drive list.Ĭompared to many contemporary vehicles, the 2010 Honda Odyssey's cabin lacks the refinement, simplicity and bells and whistles we've come to expect.
The interior, however, could have benefitted from a makeover as well.
From the outside, the Odyssey hides its age well, thanks to a face-lift a few years back. There were whispers of a complete redesign for 2010, but those rumors have proved unsubstantiated, as the latest Odyssey is essentially the same as it was last year. In car years, it's in the twilight of its run. The current-generation Honda Odyssey has been around since 2005.
