Honda Odyssey Reviews

First time seeing the Honda Odyssey 2008 on the road did not attract me too much. It's like another minivan with a big body and look too tough to me, I'm the kind that like a small car. But when I have a chance to see it clearly, all I can say is wow. Yes The Honda Odyssey have the wow factor.

Despite to the exterior 'average' stylist, the interior is excellent. It's look beautiful with a comfortable and versatile cabin. For the Asian with the small body, eight persons can have a relaxing travel in it. But the most interesting to me is the interior design look very luxury, more luxury than other 'big car' in it class. The DVD Rear Entertainment System is a good idea, but I will think twice for it because it will make disturbing to the driver.

Talking about performance and safety, Honda always in the front. For the performance, the 2008 Odyssey is the best in it class, and the U.S.News give it the top rank for that. Many of the test drivers said that Honda Odyssey it's powerful, fuel efficient, and handles like a car. For the safety the car connection gave it 10/10, a full mark. It make a good performance in Federal Government Test Crash, and came with the safety features - including Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) and three-row side curtain air bags.
