Overview & Reviews

Most significant for the Honda minivan this year is the option to get the Touring trim with the rear-seat entertainment system and not the navigation system. Previously, the two features were always packaged together. Other changes this year include additional child-seat tether anchors for the third row and standard satellite radio for the Touring model. Finally, stated power output for the Odyssey's V6 engine has dropped slightly due to Honda's adoption of a new SAE horsepower-rating procedure.

• Split flat-folding rear bench
• Agile, carlike handling
• Optional eight-passenger seating
• Strong reliability record.
• Extensive feature list
• Smooth and powerful V6

  Odyssey is awesome - 2006 Honda Odyssey
  By Julie Bruechert - September 19 - 10:16 pm

  We really like driving our Odyssey. It is very comfortable, and our family of four feels a sense of luxury because of how roomy it is. Midnight blue is an excellent color for this van.

  Another Honda - 2006 Honda Odyssey
  By johnny - September 7 - 7:30 am

  I had an early 99 Odyssey - the first one on my street. Now, they are everywhere. Now, I have the first of the 2nd generation - I expect many more on my street. The new Odyssey has significantly more power than the 99. It also has a lot more safety features such as VSA and side curtain air bags. Steering and braking are also better. My wife didnt want the electric sliding doors so I got the LX. My sense is the VSM (running on 3 cylinders) is a good option if you do a lot of highway driving but for around town I doubt it makes much difference and the EX-L weighs several hundrend pounds more than the LX. 95% of our driving is on surface streets.

  Great Van - 2006 Honda Odyssey
  By Les - August 16 - 1:13 am

  Traded in a 2003 with L/DVD. The amenities and redesign on the 2006 are excellent. Comfortable, roomy and reliable. This van will haul it all. Toyota loses to this one hands down. I will stick with Honda.

  Great van but discovered few odd things - 2006 Honda Odyssey
  By Andrew - August 6 - 7:56 pm

  So far so good, no problems yet but then its still new. The VCM cuts in and out without ever you noticing it. Lots of power and gas mileage has been decent so far, averaging 24mpg in the city. I like the climate control system but the AC has this musky smell when using it in fresh air mode. Also, my daughter discovered a few odd things. 1. While sitting in the back row she noticed that the bottom of the cup holders and the storage box on the passenger side were warm. 2. With the middle row windows opened 1/2 way it sounded like a helicopter was right over you, actually hurts the ears driving at 35mph+. 3. The bottom 1/3 of the huge tailights dont light up when you turn them on.

  almost perfect... - 2006 Honda Odyssey
  By luckydogsix - July 15 - 6:40 pm

  Long dreaded joining the minivan club but our aging Ford Explorer couldnt handle a third car seat that is now less than 2 months away. Now that weve taken the leap, simply cant believe how great this vehicle is and why we didnt buy an Odyssey sooner. Outstanding fit and finish, utility, fuel economy (compared to a SUV), and ride comfort. Drives like a mid-size sports sedan. Quiet ride too--as long as the kids are pre-occupied with a DVD. A little embarrased to admit we really enjoy cruising around in a minivan now--this Odyssey changed our paradigm.

  Wonderful minivan - 2006 Honda Odyssey
  By nursejay04 - July 15 - 12:21 pm

  I love this van already. It has so much storage space it is ridiculous. We are still finding pockets daily! This is amazing and so is the fuel economy given the fact that it is almost twice as large as my small SUV owned previously. Also drives like a car and prrrrs like a kitten as you would expect from a Honda. My dad has a Honda Accord w/ 250,000 miles on it!

  2006 Honda Odyssey EX - 2006 Honda Odyssey
  By Bruce Liljegren - April 7 - 11:16 pm

  We have been driving our 2006 Honda Odyssey EX for 11 trouble free months. It is our first van and we are impressed with the handling which is very much like a sedan. We have 10,000 miles on the car.

  Best of Four Ive owned. - 2006 Honda Odyssey
  By Honda Odyssey - April 7 - 12:36 am

  Comfort for a mini-van is outstanding. Road handling is the best I have owned. All the button controls are not placed the best but do function well. I.e: if working the rocker switches in the dark it is easy to miss one and open the moon roof by mistake.
