Honda nailed the minivan formula with the third generation of the Odyssey, which debuted in 2005. The size is in line with the competition from Chrysler and Toyota, there are plenty of interior features, and—our favorite part—the Odyssey can actually be called fun to drive. We’ll qualify that last statement with “for a minivan,” but still, the Odyssey has sharp reflexes and a comfortable, smooth ride.
All four trim levels, LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring, come with a 3.5-liter V-6 engine; the latter two feature a cylinder-deactivation system that shuts off two or three cylinders to save fuel when they’re not needed. Power goes through the front wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission. The Odyssey doesn’t have trick folding second-row seats like those in the Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country, but the third-row seat folds flat into the floor in a 60/40 split.
