2010 honda odyssey Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...In government crash tests, the Odyssey earned a perfect five-star rating for front- and side-impact protection for the driver and passengers. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Odyssey a best-possible "Good" rating for both frontal-offset and side-impact collisions. Interior Design and Special Features: The Odyssey can be configured to seat seven or eight passengers, with the eighth occupant relegated to the removable PlusOne center seat in the second row on EX, EX-L and Touring models. In a pinch, this seat could come in handy, but otherwise, it is far too narrow for any... |

...Although Honda has delayed a rumored major redesign of its popular Odyssey minivan, the 2010 iteration remains a highly capable vehicle that excels in just about every way. |

2010 Honda Odyssey Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...It finds the right gear to power through a corner or get back up to cruising speed faster than the Sedona's slow-witted automatic, but on the highway it takes too long to kick down . Both the Sienna's and Town & Country's automatics feel more responsive. Characteristic of Honda, ride quality is a bit firm. Some, I suspect, will find it uncomfortably so. At higher speeds, wind noise is contained, but road noise can encroach. My test car had 16-inch wheels, too; the Odyssey Touring swaps them for 17-inchers and lower-profile tires, which may worsen ride quality. The Sienna has a more forgiving... |

2010 Honda Odyssey Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...It's rated at 244 horsepower and 240 foot-pounds of torque, and EPA ratings are 16 city/23 highway. But the EX-L and Touring models come with a 3.5-liter aluminum V-6 engine with the variable cylinder system, rated at 244 horsepower and 245 foot-pounds of torque. This is the same engine offered in the newest Accord. It's designed to shut down two or three of the engine's cylinders to save fuel while cruising at highway speeds. The previous Odyssey also offered a cylinder-deactivation system, but it cut the engine down to three cylinders; adding the four-cylinder mode gives it more... |

Why should I also consider these?
For those who don't need a full-length, long-wheelbase van, the short-wheelbase (SWB) version of the Kia Sedona is a good option; it has a lower price than the rest of the crowd, though it lacks an easy-folding third row.
For seating alone, the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Caravan remain the best options in this class; their in-floor storage and overall cabin utility is still a step above all the leading rivals.
The Toyota Sienna is an excellent van as well, but its on-the-road feel is neither as smooth and well-balanced nor as enthusiastic as the Honda's.
Finally, GM and Ford have given up on minivans, instead offering roomy crossover vehicles with hinged rear doors.
Most will find those rear doors less practical but the vehicles themselves more aesthetically appealing.
The new Ford Flex has fashionable boxy wagon styling and a great seven-passenger interior, while the Chevy Traverse offers more conventional styling paired with an especially good ride and interior appointments.
