2018 Honda Odyssey Elite - Redline: Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- As the segment continue to shrink, buyers looking to sway from the SUV norm can now enjoy an all-new version of what is arguably the most consumer purchased minivan on the market. Chrysler may have pioneered the minivan, but Honda stole a lot of buyers when the second-generation Odyssey first hit the market in 1999. Nearly 20 years later and there's an all-new 5th generation, hoping to do the same thing.
I’m single and 21 y/o, I have no idea why I’m watching a minivan review lol
latrenzo Because a mattress fits in the back of a minivan perfectly?
Because van's are secretly cool ;)
Same lol
Yea i agree with u and u love those ice cube mints huh because i always see it in the console in ur reviews
latrenzo because unlike in the 60s 70s 80s 90S, few cars are made for young people anymore. only ones I can think of at the moment are Mustang , camaro, challenger, , Toyota had the Celica, Honda had the Prelude. Pontiac had the Firebird , but those are long gone. Today 4 door economy cars are the thing like civic , but back in the day, they weren't on the desirable list, they were just cheap economy cars.
Now that I'm a dad... this is oddly my dream car Lol! Love it. I never understood why people drove mini vans until now, seriously amazing vehicles. Suvs are cool, but vans are like driving around on memory foam mattresses, stuffed with the fur of unicorns and angels lol
You sir are totally correct. I have a Corvette, but my wives 2006 Odyssey is now my daily driver and it is great. My kayak sites inside no problem and just drive it on vacation 900 miles and the van has 132000 miles.
Jim Svo This is my 2nd dream car XD (1st is Model X)
Was always a truck person until I drove a mini van. Everything about it is so practical. I was finally able to load boxes and furniture without having to worry about covering it with a tarp in case it rains, not having to worry about stuff being stolen like I would a truck. I can still load plywood, 2x4’s fit without having to keep the back door opened. So much room for the kids.
M Tro Although trucks can carry way more. In Minivans you have to fold down the seats or even more to carry all that stuff, and only 2-4-5 seats left. Where is your kids gonna sit on the roof? Lol if it's carrying tons of stuff I'd go for the pickup but if it's a regular family pick up again! If it's a big family minivan-mid-size suv.
M Tro But indeed I understand the struggle of open pickup trunks and it really annoys be too, I suggest what you can do is get a pickup bed is what most people did.
Odysseys are so pimp. I rather drive that instead of a crossover
popotamus It has more room, more practical, more power, and good tech. I don't see why there's such a bad minivan stigma, smh. Im 17 and I'm totally down for owning a minivan, would be great for hanging out with friends.
Jack Tran haha I'm 17 too and wouldn't mind driving my parents 2005 Odyessy, seats 8, extreme cargo space, and even has the VTEC kick in yo
Same.
Ludagen The weaker and ugly brother to the FX35. No thanks.
I don't care how uncool they are, I love minivans.
Derek Owen lol this was the cool one!
We Love Minivans.
2018 Honda Odyssey Elite Car 0-60 mph 6.7 | Quarter mile 15.2
That's pretty good!
1983 Ferrari 308 GTBi Quattrovalvole 0-60 mph 6.7 | Quarter mile 15.0
That 3.5-L V6 never gets old in any Honda or Acura product^^~~ Love that sound~~ I loved this engine in my 2005 Honda Pilot, and I love it now in 2022~
Hi Sofyan, that was a fantastic review. Thank you so much for your detailed and quality content. I just want to add a little insight. My father worked as an engineer for Honda making the odyssey and was part of several generational redesigns. Many customers complained about the lack of stow n go capability that Chrysler has but this ommision is there for a reason. The odyssey is after all mostly taken on road trips where you would want the most comfortable car. The Chrysler seats are no where near as comfortable on a trip from say NY to Florida. You did mention it in the video but I think it just deserves a lot more credit. Compare the road trip between the two and everything will be understood. Anyways, thanks so much for posting this video. I can't wait for the next one to come out.
Hi. Can you you please ask your dad why Honda put in a family vehicle such a trashy speaker system with the no 3rd row speakers (Except for the Elite trim)? Much cheaper cars have better systems!
My mom bought a Honda Odyssey new back in 2003. It was in the family until 2016 when my younger brother traded it in. It had at that point 225,000 miles on it. The Honda Odyssey is the only minivan I would ever buy. If I were to buy a minivan.
Aside from the open toe shoes, this was the best review I’ve watched for the Odyssey so far out of 4.
You been hittin' the gym Sofyan?
a couple years ago I drove a Sienna limited for a week and I was surprised how sporty they have become.
As much torque as the 2.0t has, I'm surprised that Honda didn't put that in this vehicle. This also shows that Honda could have put the 3.5 V6 in the new Accord.
Seriously Honda... wtf...
the accord is based on the new Civic/CRV platform which probably doesn allow for a v6 to fit
also Honda is pushing to remove the v6 from is mainline cars
the odyssey and Pilot will still keep the V6 because they're utility vehicles first
the 2.0t is more of a sporty engine
@@ShaiyanHossain The Honda J-series V6 better not go away, although it probably will in the next few years.
@@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan if you've seen recent news theres a new DOHCV6 for the Pilot based on the TLX/MDX Type S V6, jusy with out the turbo haha
Lol honestly im 22 and i want a minivan for some reason, i would strap my kids in this van and haul ass in this with frozen playing im the back 😂😂
For the first time in forever...the minivan doesn't suck.
Please, anything but Frozen!
M67v Frozen is the anthem of minivan life! Embrace or die!!! 🤪
Still faster than frs
Jdm uncle ! Even the odyssey before this would put run it
What isn’t? XD
0-60 in 6.5 sec is pretty op for any mainstream car, especially a minivan.
the frs isn’t designed for straight line speed for the last time.
Jank Paul odyssey will smoke it in turns too lol
DABOYDJEM1 & you think fwd is better than rwd in corners? goodbye
Lol. The fact that this Odyssey's engine sounds better than the new accord is funny asf.
Donovan it's a retuned J35. A V6 will always sound nicer
Donovan it sounds better than a Alfa Romeo 4c,that’s funny asf
@@bosccoh I wanna get this car, remove 2nd and 3rd raw for less weight and floor it every day😁
I'm gonna miss having this V6 sound in the new Accords. Such a shame honda replaced it with the 2.0T
No 4 cylinder will ever replace the amazing sound of the V6.
Indeed👍
Honda, you can make a fun to drive minivan... now just give us some fun sports cars like a successor to the Prelude or S2000 please!
Give us a real Civic Si!!!!! (I miss the K20A...)
Beginning of 2000 Americans fall in love with SUV coupes and sports car were having hard time to sell.
I agree
Honda should make a hybrid model eventually to compete against the Pacifica hybrid.
honda are never gonna stop making odysseys
Jimmy Jay 2003-2008 JDM Odyssey is the best Odyssey, it looks like sport wagon instead minivan lol
American one always look like a shit lol
White Supremacy hey, what's with your dp and username 😂
White Supremacy oh lord.. we got a trump supporter in the comments
White Supremacy what's someone like you doing in a Honda video? Go back to watching your Chevys and pickup trucks
I HONESTLY WISH THEY WERE ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE!!!!!
Nolan Bad Heart Bull they don’t want to steal sales from the pilot
@@johnfrantz5885 how much would it really sell tho, even I think people who own suv's buy them solely for that "rugged off road capability" while the sienna has awd it barely steals the sales of the highlander.
Minivans have gotten cool within the past 3 or 4 years.
GeneralRed256 i think that is a little bit of a stretch
They have gotten ugly within the past 3 or 4 years. 1997 - 2005 minivans looked the best.
ih
15 years.
FYI..
Honda new 10 speed does not actually have a wider spread gear ratios compared to the 9 speed, In fact the ZF9 Speed still have the lowest gear and the highest gears available... What the 10 speedo is trying to do is revert the backlash of the horrible shifting behavior of the ZF9 Speed by giving consumers a more traditional shifting transmission. That is why there is absolutely no MPG change between the 2.
Yup... and the 10 speed takes atf2 not the newer atf3 fluid. Going back to what works is not a bad thing.
Just hope they last longer than 30 thousand miles with spirited driving than the 4 and 5 speed ones, And one of the magazines had problems around 30 thousand miles with an 8 speed in a long term Pilot.
I went to Detroit and reserved a Chrysler 300. They ended up giving us a 2017 Kia Sedona after they told us they didn't have any Chrysler 300s left. After getting over my initial disappointment, I was blown away at how far minivans have come. That thing could haul ass and was fun to drive. All the seats were comfortable and my family had nothing but praise for it. Needless to say, I was excited to see Sofyan review minivan....
Julio Alvarez Minivans are underrated.
I've driven a Sedona and they haul ads with the 3.8 they have. Even tho it's a minivan they do haul ass, and I'm a Toyota guy.
All the newer minivans haul ass.....but I gotta give it to the Honda......because they alwase somehow have the least horsepower but there faster than the rest of the vans
I’m a 20 something single guy, won’t ever have a family and yet... here I am checking out vans. I like the Pacifica the best however, I still need to watch the Sedona and Sienna review. I’m gonna buy one because of versatility and capabilities versus other styles. Vans are secretly cool!
This has the engine that should be in the Accord. YEAH I SAID IT. But I don’t mean it. 😂😂😂
Honda could have easily put this motor in the new Accord, however, we kind of understand why they went with the 2.0T route instead. The extra low-end torque of that engine contributes to the effortless acceleration feel and without a heavy V6 over the front axle, they were better able to redistribute the weight and improve the Accord's handling.
But Sofyan....we all know the V6 has the more enticing growl and exhaust note
next Mugen Type R should have this and add AWD. Imagine that
I was really upset Honda took the V6 away from the Accord... but I will admit, that new 2.0 4-cylinder in the Accord sounds AMAZING when you floor it! I think a good deal of that has to do with in-cabin audio trickery, but it still sounds completely convincing.
Potential 2019 odyssey owners: please stay away from 2018-2019 Odyssey and 2019 Pilot, apparently, a lot of pilot owners have reported that the pilot has a defective infotainment system, it malfunctions, freezes, and sometimes shuts down suddenly, it may displaying “radio unavailable” or “network connection lost”. If you want to learn more info, just search “class action lawsuit 2019 Honda Pilot” on google, apparently, a class action lawsuit was filed against Honda for knowingly selling defective vehicles and refused/failed to fix it. You can also go to carcomplaints.com to see the consumer Reports.
This guy absolutely does his homework. That comment about the Chrysler hiding their sliding door tracks...yep you definitely have to be in the know to have that tidbit available on command. Always great reviews. I bought and sold a couple of cars on his reviews alone. Thank you Mr. Redline
I love the space and features.
I'd buy one if they will make an AWD trim for those British Columbia mountain trips.
Razzle Dazzle just get snow tires
The Sienna is np slouch and has AWD.And while they are both tops in reliability Toyota is slightly better in that aspect.
Gotta love that honda V6
Yea too bad we can't love the Honda V6 in the Accord anymore lol smh
Lavonte A I love your profile pic.
😉
@@b.f.378 just get a used one lmao
Emet Playz I have one lol
I love minivans, don’t know if I’ll ever buy one but I have wanted one
Just needs led taillights,Led brake lights,Led reverse lights,led interior lights,and led turn signals. And standard led headlights even on LX,and clear reflectors.
(Edit-Never-mind it does have LED taillights but brake lights are halogen.)
This obsession with LEDs is getting outta hand
Doesn't it already have led taillights? My 2014 has them
I couldn't care less if it had LEDs or not
What matters is that the lights provide proper visibility
Shaiyan Hossain LED's last longer and consume much less energy. They're more expensive to replace tho.
Thank you for doing a review on this vehicle, appreciate it. I’m not in the market for this type of vehicle (yet) but glad that you don’t just review sporty cars and SUVs. If you have a family, this type of vehicle is much better than an SUV. Anyhow, I like watching your reviews and I’m glad that you mix it up.
That interior design is fantastic.
Why do Honda interiors look nicer than Acura's??
Don’t waste your money for the new 2018 Honda odyssey. The new designed minivan has serious electronic problems. My coworker bought the 2018 exl only lasted 8 months and 40,000-miles the electronic transmission system was broken.
Honda headquarter has replaced a new transmission system for free and broken again after 3 weeks. When the car driving on the highway, it will suddenly decelerate automatically. The indicator lights are all on! Several times almost hit by the vehicles behind. The main thing: Honda don't know why(how to fix it)!!
Johnny Cheng thank man!!! Sorry about wasted your experience Honda Odyssey 2018.
Hmm, this minivan actually looks nice.
I still driving mini van. It's just so practical, and the sitting is the best.
Im surprised they didnt slap in the 1.5 turbo from the Civic LOL
This is the engine the Accord should’ve had. All gone just to save 2 mpg.. smh honda
*_•hxxcker.reshirm•_* if honda put a v6 in the accord then the acura tlx wouldnt sell at all lol, unless they put more power in the tlx the accord will never get a v6
I’ve been watching your reviews for a long time and I must say....you have some of the best automotive videos on RUclips!
Finally I've been waiting for this cause the other reviews are shit
eighth or seventh
Staysliding Roblox Says the roblox kid
Lmfao a roblox player. Gay.
This is By far my best car I'll be waiting to get it Soon
Dear Honda, I need you to do two things for me. Fix your transmission issues--mine konked out at 110K miles--and get all-wheel drive (2006 Odyssey--had wonderful smoothness and shift quality too, until one day it just failed on the highway, quite dangerously). After you fix these two things, you will gladly get my business again. SIncerely, a minivan lover who will sadly turn to the crossover market for now.
If you don't need AWD, the Odyssey is superior, and maybe the Pacifica too
Honestly, why is the stow-n-go seating a big deal? I can never see myself or really any parent using the stow-n-go seating that Odyssey's are dinged for not having (which they can't, because there is a patent on it). A huge benefit to Odyssey seats are that they are wider, thicker, and more comfortable in the second row. They can slide forward and backward and now side-to-side. So if that's not versatility, I have no clue what is? Also, install car seats in these minivans...much easier in the Odyssey and you can fit more in with the Odyssey.
Been waiting to see this. I got the 2015. I really love the sliding seat but hate the butt because it arch up. Saw it in real life
I have just bought 2019 Odyssey
I love it
But using it for some few months I really did not like some features of it like
Did not have 2 glove box
Limited button for climate control ,it is very difficult to change climate controls while you driving every time you have to go through touchscreen which is kind not convenient
Infotainment screen reflects in sun hard to see touchscreen
Toyota Sienna have much better features for second row middle seat storage
Odyssey have worst worst location for spare tire it is completely impractical
Who ever designed it he or she must be out of mind
M J my gosh... thank for reviews!!! I’ll let my father buy Toyota than Honda!
I switched from Odyssey to new Volvo XC90... but now I want back into the Odyssey. Elite, of course. Minivan FTW.
Brandon Gray i have two xc90s and one Odyssey.. the xc90s are for my wife and i, but for a family you can't beat the minivan.
Ubon94 whoa, that's three large cars you got there... Yeah, people, don't delude yourselves. If you have a family or go on road trips a lot, then minivan > crossover/SUV. I speak from experience. Odyssey FTW
Traded our 2011 GL450 for a 2014 odessey when we had twins and we love it. Our new 2017 Pacifica drives better than our old GL. The new odyssey would be perfect if it adds some features that I use daily from the Pacifica - 360 camera and hands free sliding doors. HUD would also be nice.
wasabi9111 Nice! You're so right about 360 camera and hands free doors. Advantage: Pacifica... Honda does at least possess the 360 tech (On Acura RLX), so not cool. Sure needed it when I had a 2011 Odyssey... My concern about Pacifica is Fiat Chrysler's history in regards to quality and reliability. Do you see any issues there?
I grew up w/ several chrysler minivans in the 90's. They were all very nice to drive for the first couple of years when new and then all in a sudden, they would deteriorate very quickly. So far the 2017 Pacifica has been great, but there are certainly a number of random sporadic glitches that are annoying. Every so often, the power train/ steering is rougher than usual. It's a leased vehicle - so all these issues are tolerable, unless they get me stranded. I don't intend to keep this for more than 3 yrs - especially since this is a 1st model year car. Otherwise, I love it a lot more than the 2014 Odyssey, which also had its fair share of issues. When the lease is up in 2 yrs, I'll probably end up getting the Pacifica Hybrid.
I hate it when Toyota fan boys say that vvti v6 is better sounding than a ivtech v6, Honda v6’s will always sound better 💅🏽
we need ODYSSEY TYPE R
Chris809//CarHunters I heard that there making an Odyssey Type R in 2020 with 445 HP
Excellent Review Sofyan! I also had an opportunity to film a review of the Elite trim-level of the all-new 5th Generation Odyssey back a month ago, which will be coming out soon. I was not only impressed with both the Exterior and Interior, but even the brand-new infotainment system really impressed me, which I found to be really easy use.
In addition, out of the all of the minivans that are out on the market, which one do you like the best?
- Michael
It's so hard to say, there are so many good things about the Chrysler Pacifica, especially those stow n' go second row seats, we found the Odyssey to be more pleasant to drive but you just can't beat the Chrysler's interior flexibility. The Chrysler's adaptive cruise control also comes down to a full stop unlike the Honda's...
Same here! Interior Flexibility is one of the most important things when it comes down to hauling a lot of stuff. While having adaptive cruse control is a good thing, not shutting down at a full stop does leave a lot to be desired as it does pose a safety hazard in that matter. Hopefully Honda will correct that issue in the near future to prevent accidents from happening.
- Michael
Redline Reviews The Pacifica even has a better two touchscreen rear seat entertainment mounted on each front row seat headrest, a panoramic sunroof, and a hybrid.
This minivan makes the sienna look fat
I won’t be seeing futuristic looking interior until I’m in my mid-30s LOL I feel like it’s gonna have that typical interior look until 2023
I need to see videos of this thing doing 6.5 second 0-60, haven't found one. If its that quick, I will trade my 2017 lol
C&D got 6.7 and that is a recomputed number under standardized conditions (55 degrees, 0 elevation). I believe real-world is more like in the low 7 second range.
oldtwins na I get low to mid 7 seconds on my 2013 Honda Odyssey.....go look on my channel
Goddamn. I never thought I'd see the day I want a minivan, but this is amazing. I'd have a C63 coupe as a daily then this for anytime I'd need any practicality.
I don't like any of the new Hondas gauges, and I like Hondas
Despite the technology bells and whistles, the Odyssey is still not AWD like the Toyota.
its not AWD because it would be a better vehicle than the Pilot or any other 3 row SUV
Honda knows the market will suck up to AWD hype
I once took a huge dump in the back of my mothers mini van. It was there for a few months. Surprisingly there was no stench due to our cold winters here in the northeast. It eventually became part of the car.. Literally. Had to scrape it up with a shovel and a whole bunch of elbow grease.
haha what
Like we really needed to know that feature......Whoa!, hey Ma, wadda ya know?, even farts are odourless in this new Honda, hahahah...
Lol..."First World Problems"
Damn it Honda, add SH-AWD to your Odyssey.
Just imagine u remove 2nd and 3rd row seats how faster it's gonna go? 😁
Efreet17 I removed 2nd row seats. 0 - 60 mph in 5.8 seconds
@@vdgicofficial2866 damn remove 3d one too and take a shit it's gonna be 5
Wow...what a fantastic review! So well produced and presented. As good a review as I've ever seen. Bravo!
I want this or the Sienna. Vans are underrated!
Even though I know who this car is for, I still find it funny that it includes a vacuum
Need to buy touring or elite to get the Honda designed 10 speed. Ex and lower get the inferior 9 speed.
Honda should stop using incandescents they’re hideous. LED all the way.
I have an 06 Odyssey and that van has a great reliable engine, but goodness the built quality on little parts suck ! The sliding door wheels are so inferior. They use two plastic wheels instead of like a Toyota Sienna using 5 metal wheels guided with bearings. Also the motor mounts busted out at around 55k miles and the ride quality on my 06 Odyssey is embarrassingly bad. I can compare it to an 05 Sienna because my uncle has a Sienna and that van is bullet proof built, rides like a cloud, and is reliable just like the Honda. Me being 20 years old both Odyssey and Sienna changed. This Odyssey looks better BUT LOOKS ARE DECEIVING ! Before you say the butt ugly Sienna is ugly and that's the reason you won't buy it, well you're a lunatic. Get the Sienna if you want a problem free vehicle.
Now this is a sporty looking van. The interior looks so cool also not a huge fan of the tail light's but damn this van looks stylish 💯💯
Nice review, my new favorite reviewer. Now can anyone explain why I shouldn't care about the 4WD if I'm in an an area where it can really snow?
just get decent snow tires
if you live in an area where it often snows more than 4 inches at a time and/or the roads become impassable then id say get something with awd (and install winter tires on that too)
A vacume really nice best minivan
Problem is the vacuum sucks! I mean it doesn't suck good enough.... LOL
Everyone's going wider and lower on all modes
I'm a college student and I want this car. It's so ridiculous the amount of tech it has plus it just seems spacious and comfortable.
there is a 360* camera if you press that last boutton on the right
Very good review. Thanks. Looking for a minivan in 1 - 2 month but most likely will get the 4th gen. I am really familiar with the road that you drove here, Graham Rd and Route 50. I live very close by.
You can ask other manufacturers all you want, no one else but Chrysler will give you a second row seat that stores under the floor because Chrysler has a patent on Stow'n'Go. However Nissan and Mazda have done a very neat thing in the past where the seats when folded down create a floor
It’s like a larger Fit.
You truly are the best in the business. Love your reviews!!
I have a question for all the Honda Odyssey professionals. I'm looking for a Honda Odyssey preferably 2014 and newer excluding 2018. Which year model would you prefer and why? While browsing CarMax, I think I found that one year model, I don't know the year, has an extremely wide TV for the second and third row. Would anyone happen to know what your model this is, it seem to have spanned the width of the van. All the ones I'm looking at now or just the Mini screen in the middle of the van. Does anyone know what year model this is?
The infotainment system that amounted from the roof got to go... who uses that? Most kids that can hold a phone or iPad in their hands will use that instead of looking up at the TV screen up there. If you are an adult and you still have the need to watch that roof amount screen then, you really need to get a life.
If I remove one or both of the second row seats, I believe this will be the best option for transporting my family's dogs in comfort and style!
Nowadays, like the dreamliner 787, the cars have too many features and electronics, computers, sensors, ways for more breakdowns down the road, im good with my 2012 touring odyssey.
You do know how rare those problems are with the 787 right?
*plays blaringly loud intro eurobeat music
*vocals hardly audible 2 seconds later
10/10 will have to adjust volume
holy crap Earth Dreams is still a thing? Damn! I thought that died after those two awful F1 cars!
I wonder why the Odyssey is never offered with AWD?
that van sounds awesome!
Wtf vans are fucken dank hollyyyy imagine removinf the front seats and putting a matress there have a nice j and chill there
the 1999 to 2004 honda Odyssey's have one of the WORST automatic Transmissions EVER MADE!!!
Drink every time he says 'segment'
That would be savage!
The Pacifica and Kia Sedona have way nicer interiors in my opinion. Too much gloss plastic in the odyssey and the layout of everything is crappy plus just too much black in general.
I love Hondas and have owned nothing but Hondas for 10 years including an '05 Odyssey, but I'm not a fan of this new design. I'd go with a Pacifica over this
Putting paddle shifters on a minivan is like putting track shoes on a paraplegic.
I like this stylish van
Your reviews are the best man!
Just Bought this exact Van for my Family. Its delivered Monday and we couldn't be more excited! Upgrading from a 2014 Town & Country...
Do you still have it? Any issues?
@@crunchyblack2224 so far so good. No issues and we have put a lot of miles on it so far. It has ALOT of technology, my wife isn’t necessarily a fan of that.
Arm rest is adjustable bro. Fired.
Honestly whoever has been styling some of these new Hondas such as the new odyssey and accord needs to be fired cuz the design is fucking ugly
Would rather yell at the people behind me then go into the interface to activate the cabin talk feature but that’s just me personally
I’m 29 and single but Minivans are my cup of tea. I would rather have comfort than performance. Any car can get you from A to B. Performance cars are nice but unless you are driving that thing past the speed limit every trip to me its a waste of money. Plus I carry drum kits all over the city. A WRX STI can’t carry my 10 piece drum set lol.
this is a good car for you and your male lover
imagine being insecure of driving a minivan
6.5 in a van. 😂👍😅
call it a sleeper car :))
