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

  Our approval rating - 2006 Honda Odyssey
  By P Mattson - May 6 - 9:04 am

  This vehicle is a delight to drive. It holds the road very well. We like the separate temperature controls for each front seat. I makes for true comfort. It many outstanding features such as the best security with airbags. Many storage areas and ease in getting in and out. Its perfect for a family as it has more seating area. Sports fans will love the ease of tailgating parties since the hatch opens to a perfect height to place your food. We keep our dogs bed in the back and she loves going with us everywhere. Our only complaint is the noise factor. We dont hear our CDs as well as we should because of the road noise. Other than that, we love this car and find it hard to part with.

  Great Vehicle - 2006 Honda Odyssey
  By Scarhill - April 3 - 4:03 pm

  Purchased the Odyssey (EX-L w/RES) a little over a week ago. I have had minivans for nearly 20 years. I had always resisted going for a Honda or Toyota because of the high selling prices. However, having put up with minivans from Ford and Dodge, I decided it was time to bite the bullet and put quality ahead of price. Looking at vehicles from Honda and Toyota, the Odyssey was clearly best for my purposes. Even though I have only had the vehilce for a week, the difference in quality between it and the domestics is obvious. I also got a good price on the vehicle, paying less than invoice. At this point, I couldnt be happier.

  Pros and Cons - 2006 Honda Odyssey
  By OhioHonda - February 22 - 1:43 am

  We just received our 2006 Odyssey EX-L w/ DVD. Biggest gripe? NO COIN HOLDER!!!! There are way too many cup holders, and no place to nicely organize our coins. Also, where we used to have a under the seat (passenger) drawer, they put our subwoofer! In the past, the subs were always installed under the drivers seat. Maybe this was an installers mistake? In the past we had a 2002 and 2004 Odyssey EXLs, and thought they were a bit "vanilla", but very nice. The newest van has a very impressive dash, better leather on the seats, cool (for a van) sunroof, and neat little hidey-holes for all your stuff.

  Enjoyable - 2006 Honda Odyssey
  By nycdriver202 - February 22 - 12:01 am

  Have had for almost 1 1/2 years. Excellent on long trips, but very loud road noise in interior on hwy, especially concrete roads. Steers well, rear entertainment system great, picture awesome. Very versatile with 3 kids. Middle row seats can move backfurther for leg room. Power doors annoying at times, need to be in park or they wont work. Needs automatic headlights and auto locks. Rear visibility limited when small vehicle behind when parallel parking. Heat/cool controls awkward, too many buttons to push just to turn heat or A/c on. Gas mileage 15 city, get 25-27 on straight highway when in economy mode. Solid feeling vehicle, good fit and finish. Handles well in rain, and snow.

  Thanks for the crashbox Honda - 2006 Honda Odyssey
  By DJS - February 19 - 8:53 am

  My wife and I purchased this vehicle new in Feb 06. We are very pleased with the vehicle. We have averaged between 21-26 mpg since its purchase (70%highway) and have had no mechanical issues to date. I never imagined that a minivan could be fun to drive, but this one is. Most importantly, it is a very safe well engineered vehicle. My wife and two kids (20Months/3years) were recently involved in a serious side impact collision with a full size pickup. In the end, the vehicle suffered approx.19K in damage, but all three walked away unharmed. We purchased an 08 model as a replacement. Thanks Honda, From a greatful father and husband

  By Camille - February 6 - 8:23 pm

  Nothing about this mini van we dont like !! Had Chrysler town and country and others, no comparision! Gas mileage just as claimed, brakes smooth and quiet.Love the roll down back windows with sun shades.Rear camera a real bonus. Easy Nav system compared with others.{touch screen}Front and back warning system a real help.

  Still love it after 17 months - 2006 Honda Odyssey
  By Mom of 3 boys - January 9 - 11:03 am

  This is our 3rd Honda and our 2nd Odyssey. We have been driving it for 17 months now, so I think I can give a pretty accurate review. Gas mileage improved once we hit about 15000 miles. We have driven it in snowy conditions and the TCS works well. I love how it handles and the power it has. We have had no problems. No car is perfect but this is pretty close.

  I enjoy this item so much. It is easy to drive but I think I would pick a smaller one next time.......I am a solo driver and do not need all that room but it is wonderful. No problems at all

  A Sienna Killer - 2006 Honda Odyssey
  By Bob - November 30 - 9:50 pm

  I was ready to buy a Sienna, based on years of good experience with Toyota products. I drove the Sienna and the Odyssey, back to back, at the same dealership and found out why the Odyssey finally topped the Sienna as the best mini-van in 2005. The Sienna is in a class above the other mini-vans Ive driven, but the Odyssey is even better! It is a very well thought-out vehicle, handles like a sports car and is miserly on fuel, considering its weight. Its eerily quiet at both 70 mph 110 mph, going from one speed to the other in a flash. Howd they do that? The quality of construction is superb, all controls are intuitive and at-hand, making driving fun again. You gotta love this car!
