2025 Honda Odyssey Consumer Reviews
Pricing
No better than my 2018 odyssey. Different problems
2024 touring. 9 months 16,000 miles Sliding door on drivers side rattles when van is hot. When I finally got dealer to work on it they made it worse. Intermittently the Engine doesn't idle smoothly or when accelerating normally (but runs smooth if you run it hard). Sometimes you have to press hard on the brake to get it to start. Cruise control is programmed so that it does not TRY to keep the speed on set point after coasting down a hill, but instead, it will let it get 2 mph below the set point before it back shifts & gives gas to accelerate back up to speed. It does this instead of gradually giving gas to try and maintain the speed it was set at as soon as it goes below the set speed. Lane Keeping Assist ( LKAS ) is a joke and can be dangerous. The biggest complaint is when entering a left curve, it will help you enter the curve early right across the line and then warn that you are out of your lane. It also does this on right turns but not as much. Driving straight down a road if you get on either line, it may not help pull you back but it will warn you that you are getting out of your lane on the dash. Collision avoidance system puts on the brakes for no reason driving down the interstate. I have had the road departure mitigation system activate while I was in the center of the lane on a two lane road with a trailer truck behind you! (Must be kept off for safety reasons.) Adaptive cruise control works great but may apply brakes during passing another car on a two lane road. Also, if someone is turning off the road the adaptive cruise control continues to apply brakes long after the car has made the turn and is no longer in your lane. I have 16,000 miles on mine now and now torque converter is developing a problem. Sometimes the lockup clutch doesn't lock in if you have been costing for several seconds, the RPM is low and you apply gas to accelerate. I have seen it go up to 3500 RPM in 7 gear driving 45 MPH. I have to let off the gas for a second then go again to get it to lock in properly when it does this. The good stuff is it has a better computer than my 2018 and it responds quicker. (Except for the door rattle) it is quieter in the van than my 2018 EX-L. It has good power when you put your foot down and get the RPMs up. So far the brakes are excellent and the idle stop works properly even though it hesitates on restart sometimes. (They don't give you the choice to turn idle stop off until you turn it back on. It is always active when you start the car until you press the button again). UPDATE: Road Departure preventive is dangerous & must be kept off. I will apply the brakes for no reason (even with a big truck right behind you). Lane keeping assist is re-tarded. It starts helping you turn into a corner on the interstate too much and then complains when you go over the line that you are getting out of your lane. The automatic cruise control will put on the brakes randomly when you are passing another vehicle on the interstate. At 20,000 miles the torque converter has started malfunctioning a little but not enough to throw a code. The Drivers side sliding door makes creaking noises sometimes. The second time I took it in for this, they said that they adjusted it and now it is much worse. When accelerating, there is a slight variation in thrust. Can't tell if it is the engine or transmission. I have taken the van in three times for all these problems with no results. The last item I don't like is the cruise control is programmed to not try to keep the speed right on the set speed. It will let it go 2 miles per hour under the set speed then back shift and accelerate back up to the set speed over and over anytime the terrain isn't just flat. At 27,000 miles, I am already starting to think about trading and wondering what I am going to try in stead of a Honda.

I have had our fabulous 2024 Odyssey Touring for 4 months. 10k miles. Best vehicle I have ever owned and driven. So quite and comfortable. Kids love rear entertainment system for road trips. Tremendous power when needed from v6 engine. Getting 30.8 mpg on the highway. Nav is terrific. Radio has great sound. So much storage and seating for 8 when you need it. Looks great also. Got the platinum white with beige interior. Could not be happier..cheers!!! Get one as you will love.it.

Comfortable Minivan (w/ a Couple of Dealbreakers)
After being disappointed by the super-hyped Toyota Sienna, my family thought it might be fair to give the Odyssey a try. It was far more comfortable in ride quality than the Sienna, and the seats were also amazing.. Its lackluster MPGs belong in decades past, and its unexplainable NON-ceiling air vents in the rear will leave still-rear-facing children far more uncomfortable than necessary. If Honda could keep the comfort while increasing the mpgs and moving the rear vents back up to the ceiling, I think this would be the best vehicle on the market.

Deserves a 4.5 - Love this minivan
We bought our Elite in May and they have worked out technical kinks out 2018 had. More info r a comfortable ride, adept braking and a good amount of power when you have it loaded up. I don’t live that they don’t put better tires on it (Michelin) but the Turanzas are adequate. Look no further if you’re in the market bc this is the flagship. The tech is very good and I wish it had a B&O stereo option on the Elite bc again very good just not great. Fuel economy is ok but I figure I have to sacrifice a little for the power it has . I’d buy this one again

Undocumented feature
Have a 4 month old Odyssey with 1,600 miles on it, it has all kinds of electrical and computer problems when cold and wet. Second time to the dealership for the same problem. Electric locks, turnsignals, rear lift gate, and other computer controlled features not functioning. Very disapointed with the vehicle.
