That moment when the Odyssey sounds better than a Type R lol
Imagine making your sporty car look insanely boy racer sporty, then making it completely silent. No one can pretend to understand what Honda was thinking.
Confirmed
Have you driven a Type R yet?
@@Negative522 I got to drive a buddies '17. It was a fantastic driver's car and properly fast, weighed down really only by the muted turbo 4 sound.
V6s sound way better than most 4 cylinders
Nowadays vans sound better than sports cars lol
Now all that's left to do is twin-turbo the stock engine and bring it up to 600 WHP. And get the cat and muffler deleted.
A coupe with that engine would be so neat. You could probably tune it for 330+ hp. But in todays world where its only about 0-60 and 9578 hp stock it probably wont sell
I was thinking this too
@@Mr.Marbles the Accord Coupes used to have the J Series V6 but those were discontinued. It would be awesome to bring a coupe back with Acura’s Twin Turbo V6 in the upcoming Type-S! But with how low the coupe sales were, I don’t see that happening.
An accord with that 3.0 TTV6 would be awesome though; and since they only do sedans now for the Accord it would also be cool to see an Accord Wagon return with optional SH-AWD.
But yeah, it’s kind of unfortunate the coupes didn’t sell much at all. I wonder if it would have sold more if they just called it the Prelude. That or if they brought back the S2000 but as an S3000 with the V6 TT.
@@electric7487 Ultimate sleeper car. 🤣 piloted by an angry karen.
Oh you can tell that this Odyssey has VTEC!
when V-TEC kick in your minivan :D
It was weird that it didn’t stay in the vtec powerband.
@@rahulshah1408 well, for fuel economy you don't want it to
@@rahulshah1408 V-TECH and similar variable valve timing are defined by vehicle operation conditions e.g. engine health, wether or not driver is WOT, traction control, etc.
Cars with variable length intake manifolds like the Gen 1-3 Taurus SHO's had a similar variable valve intake timing, but the secondaries would open up with that system if you were at least 50% throttle above 3800 rpm's (v6 version).
Very sexy. Similar to a supercharger, without the whining of one.
@@jb34304 nah, Honda intentionally sets the VTEC enable RPM too high on stock tunes, because they found that many people prefers the VTEC "kick" instead of a seemless transition. Of course, many tuners would change the VTEC enable RPM much lower for a broader powerband.
Mark hitting VTEC in a Honda Odyssey review is the reason I voluntarily keep my lifeless body plugged into the Matrix.
Mark really needs to get a dragy or V Box to give us some times. My old V6 Sienna could rattle off high 14 second qtr mile and 0-60 in about 6.5 Its missed.
Why? You can do the same thing outside the matrix
That’s pretty quick. AWD and stock?
Mark Milanes AWD SE with 295 HP on premium gas V6, they were quick and fast ( for a minivan anyway)...
@@FFFFFFF-FFFFFFFUUUUCCCC You've never seen the matrix huh? They don't have Honda Odysseys in the real world
I used to be a lonely loser until I subscribed to Savagegeese. Now, I am a lonely loser who subscribed to Savagegeese.
Congratulations.
I used to be a lonesome loser until I subscribed to Mother Goose. Now I am a lonesome loser who subscribed to Mother Goose. Thank you Little River Band.

Nice
Бобан Самарџија except that I hate coffee. Lonesome Losers drink tea. It's a British thing. Out of Motor oil, brake fluid, washer fluid. Use tea. It cures all ills.
The Sienna and Pacifica are great and all but the Odyssey comes with a child noise cancellation feature, it automatically activates around 4-5 thousand RPM.
I know. Nothing like riding that 5g power band with innocent kiddos in the back.
At 5400 RPM it makes At loud noise and it’s pretty fun to hear. (I’m 13 and can’t drive)
Ah yes, VTEC,
Vehicular Toddler Ensilencing Component
All I know is, my kids are going to have to hold on to their McRib meals with a tight grip when mommy hits that VTEC change over!
😂😂
"Go Mommy Go!"
God that VTEC kicking in is extremely noticeable
My buddy has a pilot touring with an intake it is insane to hear in person it's noticeably loud even outside the car on flybys
@@dbman992 I was unsure whether it's artificially boosted through the stereo at high revs but I guess it's all real
@@nickscapellato8248 no it's very real lmao and very loud
I used to have an Acura TL and with a CAI it was insanely loud when in vtec.
I used to think Honda did it fluidly and Toyota were the followers who decided to make it crudely instant with their VVTL-i. Were I completely mistaken or did Honda use smooth transition tech, too?
That VTEC noise is just crazy coming from a minivan. Like wtf?! some people are probably going to think their car is breaking when they cross into vtec lmao.
The amount of commitment Mark and Jack have to a tiny joke is amazing.
69 missed calls? How long did that take?
2:21
Nice eye, guy.
Nice catch mate!! Anyone have an idea where hes able to floor a V6 minivan for a minute with no cops in sight?? Looks like Northern Illinois or southern Wisconsin to me??
@@alexnutcasio936 it's outside of chicago somewhere I do believe.
You must eat lots of carrots. Good one.
@@alexnutcasio936 they're near Fratello's in Volo
Nothing like sloshing the kids around in the back of the van when i am redlining on a hairpin turn... the fear in their eyes is priceless
Well, I mean it’s not like I didn’t brake for the apex. I try to be a decent father. Am I supposed to just wait forever to track out??
That VTEC is pure music.
Honda and their crazy induction noise, never gets old. And the benefit of it being induction noise, it's cool to the occupant of the car, without it being obnoxious to the outside world.
It's even crazier with a CAI
QUI?
@@juliennacer8871CAI Cold Air Intake
I spit my coffee out @8:50 "After I got off the podium..." 😂😂
My goodness, the VTEC cam changeover is LOUD! I was not expecting that.
My dad left me in a Odyssey in front of a Arbys. I raised by the staff and now I can get you a discount Roast beef sammies across the nation. Just saying...
So, you have the meats!
True story I'm sure. The same exact thing happened to me, but I was then raised vegetarian! 🤔
Jamocha shakes baby
I never thought the Honda Odyssey would have the best comment section I've ever seen. Bravo gentlemen and women
The VTEC crossover really sounds like that?! I am sold.
Goose fitted a microphone in the engine bay I think. It won't seem that loud in the cabin.
It absolutely does sound like that in the cabin. Source: I own an Odyssey and an AP1 S2K and the Ody is only marginally less noticeable.
@@TassieLorenzo if that microphone was in the engine bay, there would be wind noise all over the place lol, I have a 1st gen pilot, if you sometimes floor it and the car responds to your throttle properly, it definitely sounds like that. But if you drive like a dad, you can make it as quiet as a lexus. When I got into the car and started the car, I sometimes forgot the car's ignition is on even when its idling, that's how quiet the engine is.
@@TassieLorenzo It's absolutely present in the cabin, but they did mic under the hood to make it more clear. It's surprisingly loud in the cabin for a stock intake though, their in-car shots at like 9:25 are very accurate to how you hear it yourself
Anyone else actually look forward to reviews of "normie" cars rather than reviews of $100k luxury supercars or SUVs?
This is a car I might actually buy for my mistress if my KumNGo condom fails me.
@@SHomaidan My mistresses already have several kids so they're okay with a comfortable MiniVan so they can drop off the kids at random places on their way to a night shift at Waffle House
I only watch 911 reviews.
KumNGo condom? Is that the pull out? Why bother. Just dump it in there.
I'm watching this but I'm not watching Throttle House's Rolls-Royce Ghost review. Even though I like Throttle House.
@@effrumtheretardo It's like sometimes when watching porn, I opt for the sofcore stuff or just go to Instagram to look at regular women. Sometimes, big tiddy big ass fake porn stars are just too much, you know what I'm saying?
Honda Odyssey is like a normie everywoman eye fapcandy.
I legitimately thought that they'd swapped in some sporty Honda car in the footage, the crossover for VTEC is really defined and loud here!
When the new odyssey sounds better than the civic type R
Times have changed🥲
Given how they pipe fake noise into the cabin....... just pipe this in...... please
Because it's a v6
@@TC-rc1zf doesn't matter what engine it has. a family van shouldn't sound better than a sports car period
@@wasimgotauzi9756 We're talking about a civic here, it's not a sports car
@@thomasmaddox8688 I said civic type r ..which is a sports car
why does modern honda minivan have more vtec than the whole civic line up lol
Only the high performance Civics have VTEC anyways you won’t find VTEC in an LX
@@f181234 modern civic dont have any real vtec.
Because they have a real engine, not some tiny 1.5L crap
J Series 🤘 but tbh I'm wondering if they legit took out the airbox and mic'd it to make the vtec sound louder lol
1.5 liter is a disappointment. 2 liter turbo is better but it’s missing that high revving vtec.
This is the best sounding minivan on the market. That V-TEC really waters my eggplant.
🍆
The opening monologue sounds like a scam call. I was expecting the voice to say that police will come for me unless I call them back.
Its like the video to a gofundme for a device that is supposed to create clear drinking water out of shit for poor countries. It gets 5times the asked amount and then the money just disappears.
Ahhhh hearing that v6 sound like a racing engine when the vtec cam kicks in will NEVER get old. Sounds better than 95% of the commonly available sports cars :D
this video made me purchase one. I just couldn't fit my kids to a 3 row SUV and I knew I had to get a minivan. Happy so far... I appreciate the content
Yes! Another minivan review instead of another cookie cutter 3 row CUV..
We're still lucky to have minivans , yet sales are abysmal. Surprised that Toyota and Honda just don't bail on the market and leave soccer moms with the CUVs they all are driving now.
@@alexnutcasio936 because of the vans left they sell the most
toyota has the edge with fleet sales
@@mezzb honda does actually sell a lot of AWD minivans and even hatchbacks like the Fit in Japan (their smallest car, the kei class NBOX and N-ONE and Acty have 4wd/awd options) but they don't bring them here
The VTEC sounds like it hits harder than the 06-11 civic Si or the 99-00 civic SiR
:( not with bolt ons :(((( lol no but ur right
“Well after I got off the podium...” 😂😂 How many takes did you need to say that with a straight face?
One, cause he actually won.
Sorry Im late to this comment, been on the podium so long I forgot to answer this.
Anyone else coming back to watch 8:33 each week? Just me? What an amazing van and an amazing sound. My 01' sounds almost as good.
I’m here now just to hear that VTEC kick in lol
I just finished my 03 project van that was CRUSHED in the front by a cow. I’m throughly impressed with the J series platform before this I mainly worked on H and F series and I dreaded working on the J but it’s really not bad. Just looks intimidating
I wish this channel gets 1M subscriber before this year ends, they truly deserve it... Very high quality content and the most detailed car reviewer out there, they really know what they are doing
I can only presume that not everybody get their sarcasm. Especially with today's plague of short attention span snowflakes
I feel like a lot of people check out early or skip around because they're detail-oriented. I know this channel can do it, but I think it'll be pretty slow growth as they aren't rabid self promoters. Honestly it's for the better as you want subscribers that are engaged and actually watching the vids. That being said, I wouldn't mind a savage geese gold chain.
Then get to work changing all of humankind bit by bit, so that they match the quality of this channel. Without any change in humankind SG do not deserve an audience that wouldn't feel attracted to their style naturally. - Quality over quantity. It is always a pioneer job, but someone's gotta do it, and at least the conviction can pull the true pioneers through.
1M subscribers doesn't imply quality content. Mark stick to what you do, the subscribers will come in time. Too much hype will eventually lead to crash and burn.
At the rate they are going, they will be lucky to see 500K subscribers by the end of the year.
As an owner of a '17 Toyota Sienna SE, I LOVE minivans. So much damn room and comfort. The old siennas like ours had 296hp V6, it flies and out runs cars left and right. I am that wild guy who would honestly buy a Type R minivan if given the chance to do so.
If they came out with an AWD Type R Odyssey, I’d be in line day 1
The 2grfe is legendary. Still used in the lotus Emira
You are my hero bro❤️
I would too!
Buy the Odyssey and take the muffler off and feel the subtle V6 growl
That fuckin vtech kickin in at 0:48 got me sold. Just like my Integra Type R did.
I have a 2006 Odyssey I purchased new--it now has 267,000 miles and the only thing besides routine maintenance I had to do was replace a power steering pump (@250K miles) and one hydraulic motor mount (@190K miles). Yes, I have to be very careful now with the transmission as it will slip if I try and accelerate too fast, but darn, this car owes me nothing--I actually would be comfortable taking it on a cross country trip. I use it now as a 2nd car for cargo hauling. Good luck getting any Dodge product to be as reliable and trouble-free. And now that Toyota has gone hybrid, with $5K battery replacement costs, Honda is in my opinion the only minivan game in town.
I too have an 06 Odyssey with 155k on it. However, was under it yesterday in Cleveland (lots of road salt) and parts of the large driver's side C channel brace (not sure of the correct part name) have rust through. Does you live in the rust belt, and have you had any rust issues?
Honda’s J-Series V6 is one of the very best engines made. I hope they don’t retire it anytime soon. It’s smooth, torquey, reliable, fuel efficient, & utterly refined.
Also one of their least reliable engines which has damaged their reputation for generations to come, much like the automatics in the accords.
@@fordrac1ng81 If you can hurt a single jingle I'm impressed how badly you shift then
@@fordrac1ng81 - How so? We have V6 equipped Honda/Acura products with the J-series V6 (2001 Honda Accord EX, 2003 Acura CL, 2012 Honda Odyssey, 2010 Acura TL, 2012 Acura TL, 2015 Acura RDX, & 2017 Honda Accord V6 Coupe) & not a single problem thus far.
I agree that their 1st generation VCM (Variable Cylinder Management) wasn’t good. But our Honda V6 engines are high mileage & still run smooth.
It’s too bad they’re still using timing belts, and their engines need valve adjustments.
This engine is one that’s powerful and works with reliability.
Why am I watching a review about a minivan? Because it’s done by savagegeese, that’s why.
“Cabin talk”, no thanks. Screaming at your kids or even your in-laws behind you is part of the minivan experience.
Your channel is one of the most unique review channels. I can never be bored watching your productions lol
I lost my shit @ "After I got off the podium"
A drive that embodies what the owners will do. Floors it and then lines up for the upcoming corner. What an amazing channel!!!
Amazing work - the intro, the video quality, the detailed review - the BEST car review channel on here, no question. Thanks so much for great work and attention to detail - Brilliant!
Best intro! Odyssey flat out lol. thanks SG!
and yet gets better throughout the video. this was good. well written part on the everyday driving section. *proceeds to hammer it
I luv it when the guys inject a little of their own personalities into the video... I am thinking about getting one of these because I need a sports van it carries so much when used like a delivery van. I can get all my ladders inside. tools, spray paint machine chop saw,, the lot inside... A really functional vehicle.
i was binging videos on this channel having discovered it a few years ago and boom! New video out. I have never seen entertaining minivan reviews on RUclips. And here i am, having watched the latest Pacifica video and now this. Amazing content!
The Pacifica review must be one of the best videos on youtube ever, really. I am totally not into vans but I enjoyed that video and it left me with an awesome impression over the wheeled thing. What more can you say?
That's one of the best intros for a car review ever. You guys nailed it.
The sewers is where I'm most free.
My family had a Oddesy and it was a great mini van. It handled so well because the wheels were far into all 4 corners it felt like a giant go cart. Get it
Hey, Geese! You had a video "Crowning a Queen" between Miata, s2000 and 86, so how about a video of Odyssey, Pacifica and Sienna - you could compare them back to back on the street, at grocery store parking lot and at school picking up some random kids!
Leaving the video name to your bright imagination!
I fucking love these intros of just 100% throttle for unnecessary extended periods of time
*necessary ;)
you got me at "after I got off the podium" LOL 8:50
Biggest feature on those clunky 2nd row seats that wasn't mentioned is when the middle seat between the captain chairs are removed, you can slide the captain seats side to side with ease.
The intro is actually the verbal manifestation of the inner workings of an earth dream, the pinnacle of the mechanical-combustible engineering through propulsion and 7 row seating.
The opening of this video is an home run. Great 👍 work guys.
Have a 2020 Ody. Love the sound that the EARTH DREAMS V-6 produces. Another great review as well.
The "in the shoppe" intro music... I get so pumped for it every video. It feels so mechanical, I just wanna start banging wrenches against giant steel beams or something.
🤣🤣🤣👍
I love that F1 poster in the background of all your shop segments. I look at it every time. It is such a cool picture!
Keep the 3.5L V6 NA-mtor, put electric motor(s) on the rearwheels, there is enough room underneath for batteries
That would be.....so insane.
To me that’s just Unnecessary weight, a smart marketing idea would be all wheel drive as that would attract consumers.
Good idea. That is the exact opposite of the new Corvette with 160HP electric motor to the front wheels.
That 3.5 is a gem.
engine sounds better than my sports car, lol
I’ve been waiting for this since the sienna review!
We have the 2022. Its amazing! Best choice we've made. Thanks for your video.
The original Odyssey that was an ATV was far ahead of its time and was super cool.
Jesus tearing down that road in the beginning had me dying
Another informative video from one of the best reviewers of vehicles on you tube.
The engine sound makes me have some goosebumps (the good ones) that I only hear from Ferrari and Formula one car. Really insane! Nice work!
Suppose it does the job well for what it is. Another masterpiece of a video!
Honda’s J35 V6 are amazing engines
One minute in and I'm crying. 😂 Well done, gents.
The sound of that VTEC kicking in reminds me of my Prelude. I think I might have to buy one of these when I have a kid or two. Holy shit, what a sound.
Best intro ever??? Thanks for given the engine it’s due respect and for highlighting the benefits of a V6 for a minivan. Maybe there is a future for somewhat driver enjoyable minivans?
This thing sounds like it has VTEC, I love it
It does!
Best start of a video ever
Never thought I would enjoy a Odyssey review
Thanks Mark and Jack for another amazing and amusing review! I still have my 2006 Honda Odyssey EXL and it’s been nothing but reliable for me and my family. The only issue I had over the years was the atrocious paint problem that was peeling over the roofline after 12 years of ownership which I had to paint and pay out of pocket. The middle seats are so backbreakingly heavy to remove as with 3rd row folding into and lifting back into place. The V6 and tranny are still going strong at 160K miles.
I know people are still going to gripe about why Honda hasn’t levitated to an AWD system and it’s probably due to a trade off in poor gas mileage which is not what Honda is known for and having that system would be a relief for those who live in harsh conditions. I own 3 other Honda’s (14 Accord EXL V6, 08 EXL CRV and my 20 Type R) and my minivan trumps them all in overall comfort and long mileage trips. This would have been nice to own 11 years ago but kids are all grown up and will be moving onto college soon. Nothing beats the comfort of the odyssey because it’s chassis is built and drives like an accord.
My 2006 LX has 267K miles and is still going strong (though trans has felt like it's going to let go ever since 190K miles, but it hasn't). I don't have any paint problems even though I live in a rainy climate and rarely wash the thing. And I've taken it through Colorado in snow storms and never had a problem--4wd is vastly overrated for street driving, so long as you have good tires. In fact I'd easily take a FWD with dedicated snow tires over an AWD with all-seasons any day for winter driving. My 4 kids (and wife) have all gone now, but that van holds a lot of good memories.
@@RK-db4oq thanks for sharing a piece of your life’s story. Hold onto that piece of your memory as it has taken good care of you throughout the years. People don’t understand how important cars are tied into our families history. My van is my most favorite car as it has grown together with my family. It has been nothing but safe, reliable and trustworthy. I’ll give it whatever it needs for it to keep going as long as it can go. My van is Midnight Blue Pearl Metallic and I think this particular color had the paint issues. There are 2 other cars, same generation, in my neighborhood with the same color and boy their paint looks so hideous it needs help.
@@mr.tuckers2848 Thank you. Mine was silver--most of my cars are some shade of grey. And yes, cars can have lots of memories. I also had a 1997 Ford Econoline that had similar mileage and even more memories, but that one became something of an eye-sore so I gave it away to a charity (where as far as I know its still in use). But I had such strong, good memories of all the road trips we went on that I took out the 3rd row "couch seat" (it was a conversion van) and kept it in the garage for a while as a memento. Finally got rid of even that when I moved out of the house we were in. I guess I'm just sentimental.
We had a look at the Odyssey Elite and everything said about the shabbiness of the piano black trim is true. It is a good overall package but the front seats were too shallow for us. We are both tall and the bottom cushion cut us in the hamstrings. I can't imagine Jack riding in that for several hours.
It's not just Honda, it's pretty much all the manufacturers. Seats are made for Mike-size people, not Jack-sized people.
Ive been watching car videos a long time. I used to find top gear bit torrents before youtube had content. In all those years there are two videos i recall that caused me to become emotion and shed a tear.
1. Mr JWW flying through the forest in europe in the maroon 458 speciale.
2. The goose wringing this minivan out and vtec kicking in at the beginning of this video.
As a 2018 touring owner after 80k km on the road this is the only Actual Review that Odyssey deserves. The only thing I'd do differently is to down shift two more gears before you enter that tight right turn. And regarding the 'soft' your talking about, shift the weight before you enter the corner is doable and predictable. I tend to outrun many sport cars with this van at my favorite back road, the acceleration is linear and typical NA character. the 10 speed box and that ivtec plus the relatively low center of gravity (vs SUVs) is totally different level against most if not all other 7+ passenger vehicles. As a midage dad I know not much about driving excitement except I keep a manual 991.2 GTS and a 63s AMG in the garage. This is the Van deserves to be happy neighbors with those other toys. I wish Honda would end the generation with a type S :-P
I’d love to see Honda do a type-s version with sh-awd and slightly upgraded brakes/suspension
I would love to buy one, but dang would it be expensive to spin up tooling for a new rear floor with a subframe
If they do that and throw in the 6 speed manual with LSD, I would have a new dad-mobile.
I bought a brand new Odyssey in 2008. It has 160,000 miles on it now. I will probably buy a new one when it dies........but that will probably be 2030
and then in 2030 gov will banned all internal combustions cars.
Can't wait to get in on some of that free-range creativity action. It's "Fitter, Happier" for 2021.
We bought the 2021 EX-L and have driven it since February. Agree everything with you on the driving and the incredible comfort. This powerful and smooth V6 engine with the state of the art 10-speed transmission is one of the major selling point for me and that I will never want to sacrifice this for fuel economy of any loud and low powered hybrid drivetrain.
tough to agree when gas costs 4.25\gallon...
What else do you specifically like about your car?
The saddest moment of my life was trading in my 2018 Odyssey Elite for a 2018 F150. I will forever miss my VTECVAN :(
I can already imagine Savagegeese hitting top speed in this minivan lol
The sound, the sound !!! Omggg, I can’t believe it sounds like that stock, I feel like I could have fun in that thing, quick shifting 10 speed + a very good sounding and powerful V6 + FWD no traction fun
Go hard on merch - you deserve to make a living out of your great videos
after owning my 2018 Elite for 3 years, I can say buying this Honda is my biggest mistake; it handle well but the rest of my car was just so bad that it drive me nuts daily.
1. The Nav system always randomly frozen and the only way to fix it is by disconnect the battery, and the genius that design the car use different socket for the negative & positive side...
2. They put the auto brake hold button right next to the hand brake one, and both push in motion turn it on, and since the auto hold will disconnect every time you park your car, so you have to reach out to it every time, which will lock up your car with E stop if get the button wrong
3. My engine auto stop never work, always display not available not matter what time in the day or the weather even the car has warmed up, took it to the dealership fixed for few weeks and then failed again
4. The only USB port is inside the center console, and they don't leave a pass thru for cable to run out (I think they fixed it in the newer model)
5. I almost never saw 10th gear until you reach above 80... useless in daily drive
6. 2nd row magic slide yeah super cool for first few weeks, I want to know how many people really using it daily, for 3rd row access you still has to push forward unless you are small kid, and the rail raise up so high that you can't push anything thru the floor\
7. Wheel arch blocking 2nd row seat recline unless slide inward, so there is almost no recline if have the middle seat installed
8. Both sliding door constantly jamming (fixed twice already)
9. Rear entertainment screen rattles like crazy
10. 3rd row floor also not flat after folding down the seats, can't slide cargo...
11. The A/C sync control will turn on the rear A/C every time you press it even the Rear is set to Off...
12. The vacuum is really only good for clean up Goldfish for kids, very weak, and it need to be longer for the front row
And this was actually my second car, my first one was so bad that the dealership has to take it back and find me this one (entertainment system failed completely unable to fix it, an known issue...) I spent my first 2 month driving loaners and rental cars, and have to travel 30 miles to the dealership...
So my first and last Honda... oh honorable mention, 8 recalls in first 2 years...
When it comes to shiny plastic it seems they'll never learn...
Nobody will
Focus group BS. That crap looks premium, until someone touches it.
@@dougrobinson8602 there’s a joke in there somewhere.
Like that "more cowbell joke", I just picture that one guy at every car design room yelling out "MORE PIANO BLACK!!!"
Who cares about plastic what matters is what's under the hood
I subscribed and all my past regrets and disappointments transmogrified into my most stunning achievements. I am whole.
Nice family hauler, nice sounding engine for the type of vehicle it is.
Loving those slider shots
Cheers
Ahhh, my stock in black plastic has gone back up. I feel relieved.
I have a 2019 Odyssey. The engine sounds so good at high RPMs it’s hard to believe it’s not coming through the speakers like a BMW.
It’s a very good car. Pleasant to drive, has more than enough horsepower, comfortable, handles surprisingly well for what it is. The “Magic Seats” in the center row are amazing. No, the center row seats don’t fold away but... when you remove the center piece the two captains chairs can be adjusted forward, backward, and side to side; a feature that’s probably hard to fully appreciate if you don’t have kids. Also, because the seats don’t fold into the floor Honda put the spare tire there, meaning you get more storage space in the rear hatch area and a big 60 lb hunk of weight low and centered in the vehicle instead of mounted at an extreme end of the car.
It’s unbelievable how good this car drives on freeway. It’s like driving an S class or Lexus LS. Very good ride and handling for such a heavy and boxy body.
@@realnapster1522 I can’t comment on that because I haven’t driven either the LS or S-Class, but among the cars I’ve driven and owned over the decades this Honda is a lot nicer to drive than a minivan aught to be. I live in a very hilly, borderline mountainous area and it’s just pleasant to drive on everything from flat freeways to curvy backroads. Of course it’s not a viscerally engaging sports car but I don’t feel like I’m being penalized for being in such a large and heavy vehicle. Driven at about 7/10s on relatively low grip touring tires just feels nice.
If I want to drive like my hair is on fire I’ll hop into my modified GTI, but for hauling the family around without causing whiplash this van is amazing.
I was an early adopter of minivans in 1994. Kids. Over the wife's objections around the "soccer mom" image. Did not care. I am the one who loads the car for the road trips. More and much more usable space, better mileage, better handling, and the Odyssey has always had good power.
This is the new standard for the BANG BUS. Those built in cams would be perfect
Brilliant!
Speaking as a middle-aged dad, I weirdly love my Odyssey as much or more than any of the performance-oriented cars I have owned (including a 6MT/Sport package E90 330i and an E46 M3). It replaced an Acura MDX, which I hated, and I greatly prefer the Odyssey drivetrain to the Lexus GS F-Sport that I drive daily.
Fellow e46 M and MDX driver, and also an RX. Love our Odyssey. So comfortable, relaxed to drive, smooth power, hauls a ton of stuff. Drove the Sienna and that feels like a bus to me.
Funny--I hated my 2020 MDX too, mostly because I'm tall and always felt cramped in it, but also because it was twitchy, rode harshly and was no faster than my Odyssey (in fact, it was worse in every way than my Odyssey except "looks"). Got rid of it after only 1,700 miles.
I use Savagegeese videos as fashion advice to know what Patagonia sweaters to buy.
my 2016 odyssey with 154k miles still runs like a new car. i listen to that vtec sing damn near every day.
That was the coolest intro I've ever heard
I picked the Pilot over Odyssey. Don’t regret it. The torque vectoring AWD is worth it for me.
Convince me SUVs are better in any way than minivans. I'll wait.
Nice collection of words in the beginning. I didn't understand a thing. Mission accomplished.
I had to replay that intro. Just 🔥 🔥 emojis all around. Brilliant.
