2011 honda odyssey review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. It's not an all-new model but clearly marks the next generation of one of america's favorite vans. These multipurpose vehicles aren't minivans anymore. the odyssey is all about function and making the business that is family life easier. It can tow a small trailer or a couple of personal watercraft. It can carry 4x8-foot materiel flat on the floor, and it can carry 10-foot long objects like 2x4s or lighting tracks inside. It is loaded with conveniences to simplify things and can be loaded with distractions to quell intra-family disturbances. for most uses, the odyssey makes a more logical, more compelling argument than a truck-based suv and many full-size crossovers. Six airbags including three-row side curtains, and electronic stability control are standard. the new 2011 odyssey's primary competition is the recently redesigned toyota sienna. Chrysler's vans and the vw routan based on them are due for a redesign and are not fully competitive with odyssey or sienna top offerings. What were originally known as minivans have grown considerably and those shopping for a truly compact van should look at the very good three-row mazda5 or kia rondo. lineupall 2011 honda odyssey models use a 248-hp 3. 5-liter v6 engine, automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The only mechanical differences among them are wheels, tires and number of transmission speeds. odyssey lx 27,800) seats seven on cloth upholstery and uses a 5-speed automatic transmission. Better aerodynamics positively affect both fuel economy and noise levels, and since vans don't do the high speeds of sports cars they don't need the added stability of wings and deep front spoilers. van dimensions and a good deal of styling is dictated by the box-like architecture, so the odyssey is plus or minus within two inches of its competitors in every measure and honda has added a new element with a drop in the lower window line behind the sliding doors. They call it the lightning bolt look and, while it has nowhere near that shock value, it does break up the monotony and improves the view out from the third row. the door handles are moved closer together and paired in a mild recess, loosely reminding one of the fixtures on a rolls-royce with rear-hinged rear doors. New for 2011, the power sliding doors can be opened with the brakes on, without having to shift to park first, which better matches the way we live (though we recommend shifting into park). As is often the case on vans the trim piece below the third-row window and above the sliding door track may not exactly match the color on the fender below it over time, and darker colors hide that track better than lighter colors. up front, a new grille and lighting for 2011 appear to be a cross between honda's insight and civic and toyota's sienna. Here again, van shapes and function conspire to limit daring, as does the somewhat mundane mission of most vans. The odyssey's shape is not unpleasant by any means, it just comes across as nondescript rather than bold. at the rear the roofline echoes that of sister-brand acura's mdx or mercedes' r-class, much like a tent pulled taut over a stake. Taillights use clear-lens signals with amber bulbs for some visual pop without the expense of led lamps. A spoiler atop the hatch is standard on all, and the power tailgate (ex-l and above) has pinch-protection in both directions and can now be opened with the remote without first unlocking the van. They also use a laminated windshield to minimize wind noise. interiorhonda has set up the 2011 odyssey to carry seven (lx) to eight people (everything else) in total or six adults more comfortably than any suv right up to cadillac's long-wheelbase escalade. Center vents frame all the climate controls, including a sync button to match all the zones; the rear-seat climate controls are overhead where it's nearly impossible to spill anything on them. Audio/entertainment input is below that, and the lowest controls (still an easy reach for driver or passenger) are those for the navigation and car systems. Some taller drivers may find the shift lever housing an uncomfortable place to rest their right leg. The view outward is very good with moderate size pillars and low-profile headrests. The drop-down video screens take away some rear vision but not all of it; eight passengers will be more of an issue because the center shoulder belts anchor in the roof on opposite sides. Top-line models have parking sensors, multi-view rear camera and blind-spot warning, but we had no issues with blind spots. second-row seats ha.
