I never did understand peoples antipathy to minivans. They are quiet, comfortable and you can haul lots of people and stuff easily.

2012 oddyssey owner here, wayy better than any suv

Craig Cole is one of my favorite automotive reviewers.

Vacuum that can help clean up a crime scene?,...Inserting VHS into a DVD player?......This guy is great!!..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

For a minute, I thought I'm watching Autoguide.🤣

I love this guy! Always puts on a great show.

Honda: It's the Honda Odyssey. Me: It's the Acura of Minivans.

This guy is super funny. Good job

You sold me! I just bought a 2020 Odyssey Elite today and traded in my 2016 Pilot EXL. I wish I had test driven an Odyssey years ago! Now I’m a true convert. 🥳

I love how the first odyssey was a modern day suv, car based wagon with swinging rear doors

great video!

Love our 2019 Odyssey Elite.

The ONLY good 5th generation Odyssey review on KZfaq!

Best reviewer on the tube

What are the changes for the 2021 model year of the Odyssey on all trim levels?

4:38 Nah, I’d prefer the SavageGeese method of communicating with the rear passengers. *“SHUDDUP BACK THERE!!”*

You are great sir.😜👍

I agree mini vans are cooler than SUV. But popularity for SUV is making pricing and variety unfavorable.

Yeah cause my 3 person family really needs a minivan instead of a compact crossover.

I want to know how the minivan stigma started

you people?! YOU PEOPLE?!!!!!! Yeah I don't know where I was going with this, great review though :)

Did honda put back the 2nd ac compressor for the rear ac?

I own an Odyssey 2003 model. Done 145k miles so far. Absolutely reliable and lovely vehicle. All these years , I have changed the timing belt once , in 2018 after 125k miles, changed brake pads thrice , tires twice , wiper blades more than 5 times and other usual stuffs like oil change , air filter change etc .. Other than these maintenance, vehicle is a gem. Still does 0-60mph in under 8secs😁😁😁

Amazing cover photo 😂😂😂

Where do you put your foot when Auto Brake Hold is active though?

This review conjures memories of the old Craig Cole. I'm glad you're back to being creatively funny again.

Great car, I'm sure, but not one I'd ever consider. I'm here for some quality Craig Cole time. Best in the biz!

Hmmm can a rent-a-minivan challenge remove the stigma with minivans?

Toss those contraceptives in the trash 🤣

I love minivans for their practicality although an SUV is higher and can drive offroad way better. thats why its killing the sedan too

It does not have the Acura / Honda Torque Vectoring AWD :)... otherwise, it is a winner. Kidding aside, nothing beat a van on the highway to Disney World.

The Odyssey needs a protective PKG w/bulletproof windows, doors, panelling & a reinforced protective shell over that Alon with a biohazard pkg. Oh & an updated flux capacitor. Can never have too much cow bell either!

2020 Toyota Sienna?

Why you don't go to Toyota Alphard or velfire?

I get 20 mpg combined, not sure having an extra 4 gears makes a huge difference at 22mpg combined..

I agree, I love minivan. Best, practical car. Ps: is that TI83 calculator?

I was wondering where Poindexter went 😄

Genuine question: Is the rear cabin camera and intercom actually useful or is it just a gimmick? also this guy was hilarious lol

the Odyssey vans from 1999 to 2004 model years have Severe Transmission problems.

A real family guy would prefer substance over style, it's good there are still minivans available for him Dandy review

Still has the stigma of "Minivan"

Why ALL Odysseys don't come with chrome-plated roof rails will always be a mystery to me. I think the promotional images of the Odyssey have no roof rails at all, which just make this thing look like a hearse... or a cargo van. It's weird how much of a step up it feels like to me.

i like and subscribe to Craig only!!!! Craig for president 2020!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vans should have an off road package, increasing ride height, reducing body roll and firm up the ride.

Interesting they pair the 3.5 liter V6 to a ten speed when it is paired to that problematic ZF nine speed in Pilot and passport.

Add an air mattress and AWD, that may just take the kids taxi image out of the picture...

Someone left Autoguide!!! I've been wondering where you were!

Minivans will slowly come back around. Make no mistake, the hype with crossovers will inevitably make them known as the “soccer mom” cars that they have become and people will gravitate to something that not everyone has sitting in their driveway... a loaded out minivan. The automotive world runs in revolutions. If this weren’t the case you wouldn’t see Honda making them. They know it’s only a matter of time.

C H O N K Y

Why do u need to push into the accelerator. Aren’t those paddle shifters I see?

Did you see the ugly and uneven cladding line of the odyssey when the camera was placed on ground level.

1:50 Or dont worry about pulling out lol...😐😉🙂🤣😂

This guys voice omg

If Honda can put 4WD on this, and figure out how to stow away those second row seats, I think people would buy them, especially for those living in the north and Midwest.

HONDA, Just add AWD and see your sales climb.

Great informative funny review. Wonderful vehicle but who the heck wants to lift out 70 lb second row seats? That is a deal killer. They need the stowaway like Chrysler. Surely they could figure that out. Plus the Sienna comes in AWD.....if they want more of the three row SUV crowd then they should employ currently available tech. Plus Toyota RAV4 prime has plug in hybrid available now with 39 mile electric range and 40 mpg. Why’s doesnt Honda just take the whole market and integrate the tech thats is currently available.? Who wants to lift out and store two huge heavy seats? Had that in my 1994 and 2000 Town and Country vans. No thanks. Hope they are listening....

Turn that eco mode off asap

Best is a full size SUV! Negative is auto start-stop!

Honda needs to join the all electric revolution. Gas and diesel are just old technology from last century.

Odyssey awd= no. Sienna AWD= YES

I cam for the odyssey but got an ear full of condom banter...

Minivan should get electrified!! Are you listening Honda?!

Pacifica is just so much better at everything.

Does -----anybody----really---want a minivan? Practical, yes for some families, but every bit as exiting as polishing the shoes for the marching band.

I completely agree. I think us millennials are gonna bring them though.

Not likely. It's just me so I don't need, or want a minivan.

Have an 01', piece of shit transmission, but I'd still drive it over any crossover

All Honda needs is to give it AWD, then no one should look any further.

$48000 lol

Nah i keep my 2002 honda odyssey ex and at lest it doesn't have engine automatic start and stop. Also it has 200,250 miles and the engine sounds great from factory. God forbid the engine is junkie i will upgrade the engine with 3 gen engine.

looks like a hearse for small people

I can't do a van, i would be forced to get a Pilot instead

Nice try. FWD is not gonna satisfy the crossover buying public. Myself included. The Sienna is the only minivan with AWD option. And that thing is so old it belongs in a museum. Oh, did I mention that it costs over 50 grand fully optioned? Yeah... so I went and bought a Palisade Limited for the same price. And ya know, the crossover platform is just an arbitrary form factor in vehicles. No different than sedans. If we lived in an alternate universe where crossover was the "norm" then we would instead be having a conversation about the new trend of why "people love the sedan so much". The sedan is not and was never the purest form of a vehicle. It was borne out of arbitration just like anything else. And finally, how come nobody is saying anything about pickups? They've been trending for decades! What's the deal with pickups and why so many people buy them even if they dont need a bed! Leave crossovers alone! 🤣😆😂

I despise "crossovers" and hate that they're killing the sedan market, but it's fairly obvious why people choose crossovers and family trucks over this thing. This whole video made me feel like I was done having sex and must resign myself to being a parent, forgoing any excitement for the rest of my life, and I don't even have kids. Saying you'd love to crash it makes me think you feel the same way.

Odyssey is the least reliable minivan. So, no for me. Plus, there was a time when so many minivans were on the road and the antidote for these had been crossovers. Minivans have served their time. These will soon be forgotten.

The ultimate white male voice, just like from "sorry to bother you" movie

In the beginning it was somewhat painful to listen to this guy’s voice. But when he begged for likes and whatever bullshit ....... The End !! Thumbs down 1million times.....did it . I own a ‘12 Ody and it’s great. You’re welcome !!!!!

It's all in the marketing. Minivan name not cool, so just give it a new cool name with such words as Max, Cargo, Tuff, Large, etc. Nobody likes the word mini.

Your voice is so annoying that i have decided not to buy an Odyssey because you reviewed it. Please put Cooley back into these kinds of reviews.
