Odyssey vs Pilot

Join Gordon, 02/27/2016
2016 Honda Odyssey SE 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
I went to buy a 2016 Pilot. Wanted it bad, was dreaming about one. Family is growing, was thinking a Pilot would do it. It is OK Pilot has a smaller trunk, OK that 3rd row is smaller, OK it is 5 grands more - such a nice car. Well, after trying Pilot and Odyssey (just to prove myself that Odyssey is no match for a 40yo alfa male) I almost cried. Pilot is a truck, plain and simple. I … felt that I'm driving an 18 wheeler. Attach wheels to my house, give it an engine - that's how it I felt. Parking garage at work? OMG, not in a Pilot. Odyssey is a car like. Not as silent as Pilot, but so much easier to drive. Feels much secure. Acceleration is about the same. So much easier to see what is around you. Dung, I hate minivans. But unless I'm in the middle of a desert in Texas or in Chicago snows in January Odyssey still would be my choice. Also, 31k for SE OTD with 0.9% apr is so much better than 37k with 2.8% for Pilot. ------- Update, 6 months and 10k miles later. I'm averaging 22mpg 50 highway/50 city combined. We made multiple long trips in Odyssey with 4 kids and it is great for that. I also think that LX at the current price (25k) is probably a better deal after all - the middle seat on the second row had to be removed to allow two kids to get into the third row without troubles. With car seats in place second row seats do not give you enough space to slide them (LX doesn't have middle second row seat by default). Vac was used once, not sure if it is really needed because of that :) Sliding doors are fine but for $6000 extra many people wouldn't mind to get out and close the doors for the youngest ones, plus 4yo need help to do her seat belt anyway. DVD is ok, but it is cheaper get all of them brand new iPads with movies and still keep bunch of money. The car has been into the shop once and it bothers me, to the point I've got Honda care extended warranty to 120K miles. VSA light came on and stuck like that after making a tight turn during city driving. Dealer just did a reset, didn't find anything wrong with it. After 60k miles it would be a $1000 ordeal to fix I bet, some "sensor replacement-adjustment", not "it is all good, we didn't find anything wrong and reset cleared it". Overall I still like it, however would go with LX probably to save the money. ------------- 3/2017 One year of owning the Odyssey, update. I have 22,000 miles on the odometer. Except that weird incident with VSA light no other isssues that required a visit to a shop. Overal MPG is about 23.4 combined. Usually my 25 miles trip to work deliveres 24.8-25.5 mpg with 65% hwy/35% city driving. We still like the Odyssey --------- 3/2018 Two years of owning the Odyssey. I'm at 39,000 miles now. The only negative thing to report is a rear door lock/push button that had to be replaced by Honda. That thing started driving me nuts, during cold freezing days it was not possible to open rear door (liftgate, hatch - whatever you call it). Apparently, the rubber seal inside of the button is not good enough and allows water to get into the button membranes. There is no other way to open the rear door, you have to press on that rubber button while holding proximity key 2-3' away. The issue was intermittent but I was lucky to have it once for Honda service people to see it, part and labor was around $500 for a small button covered by warranty. I have to call it a very poor design, Honda did a TSB for other years to replace that thing for free but not for 2016 (yet). Other than that the car is still great, tires are at 3/32 and need to replace soon. We still love our Odyssey. ———————- 9/2018, 51k miles on the Odyssey. No other issues with the car, we like it a lot. Had to replace front tires at 48K miles, the back are still OK and I stopped doing rotation at around 15k miles. I know, I know. There was a recall for the second row issue when people do not pay attention and put the seats into incorrect middle position when they don’t latch. Honda has installed some brackets to make it impossible to slide the seas into the middle making the seats much harder to move in and out. Luckily we do not move them at all so it didn’t affect anything. Oil changes - I’m averaging about 9-10k miles between those, it is controlled by the maintenance minder. At 60k expecting second transmission fluid change, those are super expensive when done with the dealer so I just got a box of ATF from Honda and do it myself. 3/2021 ------------------ My Odyssey has 105,000 miles now. Had to do timing belt/water pump service. With the pulleys, bolts and belts dealer wanted around $1700. Got parts from Honda and did it for $600 myself using all original parts going slowly for 2 days. I'm on my 3rd set of tires and second set of brakes. I'm using a precise measuring cap for oil changes and have noticed that the car started taking oil after hitting 85K miles, for now it is around 1/2 quart for 6000 miles and increasing. Other than that no other issues. We still love Odyssey. ————— 3/2022 update. 118,000 miles on Odyssey. I have 2000 miles of the extended Honda warranty left, but didn’t have a chance to use it yet. Replaced all the brake pads and disks myself, with that the original ones were still within the specs. We still love Odyssey ——————— 9/2022 128, 000 miles on Odyssey. Got a check engine light for P3400 “Bank 1 valve pause system stuck”. $25 OEM oil pressure switch plus $7 o-ring took care of the problem. Apparently it is a known problem and 37240-r70-a04 switch lasts around 100k miles. For $30 I can live with it. Other than that nothing new has happened. We still love our Odyssey ————— 9/2023 147,000 miles on Odyssey Alternator went bad at around 143,000 miles during a long trip. I have ScanGauge monitor installed so when saw battery light was able to confirm that voltage is constantly dropping and pulled to Honda service in the next city with 9.8 volts left. We’ve got lucky it was during a business day. $1000 and 2 hrs later continued trip with new alternator. Other than that no changes. Engine takes about 1/2qt oil an every 5000 miles. Doing oil changes at 20% oil life left since day one. ATF fluid - change 3,5 liters an every 30,000 miles. Except the alternator I have no real complaints (squeaking interior, but keep it parked outside; struts rubber is wearing out). Still like our Odyssey, hope it lasts another 100,000 miles. —————— 4/2025 178,000 miles on the odometer. Unfortunately car stars to show its age. I’ve found an oil leak which is related to apparently a known problem with V6 spool valve gasket leaking after 100k miles Honda doesn’t care about. TSB calls it a regular out of warranty repair, even if the leak is the alternator killer - valve is right on top of the alternator. Spool valve part #15810-r70-a04 and it is $250. Sad thing is that the alternator may be damaged again due to the oil leak. The other problems: both stabilizer bar links are shot and need to be replaced (cheap parts, easy job), outer steering tie rod ends have boots torn, shocks and struts have turn boots, front lower control arms have their bushings slowly cracking, cabin fan blower motor has some slight noise. Except the leak which is a poor design, the other issues are typical to older cars. All and all I’m still satisfied with Odyssey and plan to fix it slowly replacing all the parts myself.
