ONE OWNER & WELL MAINTAINED BY DEALER - We recently welcomed our 7th child and purchased a full size van.
The van is in excellent mechanical condition and very clean.
Vehicle Overview
Going beyond the foldaway third-row Magic Seat in the previous model, the 2005 Odyssey also gets a stowable PlusOne seat in the second row. The minivan's overall length hasn't changed but the third row gets an additional 2 inches of legroom. Side curtain-type airbags protect occupants in all three rows, and a first-in-class stability system is standard. The windows in the sliding doors can be partially opened. With the new Odyssey, Honda sought to “achieve the feel of a European sedan," said Yutaka Fujiwara, Honda's large project leader.
An available DVD-based rear entertainment system uses a 9-inch screen that Honda calls the largest in the automotive industry. Honda's navigation system, which has an 8-inch screen, operates with expansive voice recognition and can respond to 637 commands. It's able to understand orally stated city and street names, street numbers and specific destinations.
Four trim levels are offered: LX, EX, EX Leather and a new Touring model. The top two models use a Variable Cylinder Management version of Honda's 3.5-liter V-6, which shifts automatically between six- and three-cylinder operation in response to driving conditions. A regular version of the V-6 goes into the LX and EX. Each V-6 produces 255 horsepower, which is 15 hp more than the outgoing 2004 model's output. Odysseys are made in Alabama.
Interior
Seating for seven occupants consists of two bucket seats in the first and second rows and a third-row 60/40-split bench that folds with one motion into a recess in the cargo floor. EX models seat eight people by using a removable center seat in the second row that stows into a recessed compartment under the floor. When the seat isn't stowed, a lazy Susan under the floor holds miscellaneous items.
Seatback height has been raised by 2 inches. Adjustable pedals are available in Touring models, and the gearshift lever is placed on the front console.
Standard LX equipment includes a CD player and remote keyless entry. The EX adds a six-CD changer, an overhead conversation mirror and sunglasses holder, and an integrated second-row sunshade. All models have three-zone automatic climate control.
Under the Hood
A 255-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 in the LX and EX teams with a five-speed-automatic transmission. The EX Leather and Touring models feature a Variable Cylinder Management version of the V-6 switches automatically between three and six cylinders.
Safety
Side-impact and side curtain-type airbags, all-disc antilock brakes and traction control are standard.
Driving Impressions
In its redesigned form, the Odyssey nearly meets Honda's Euro sedan handling claim; its steering isn't quite as precise, but it's close. Odysseys exude excellence and deliver an impressive load of new features.
Like its predecessor, the Odyssey is energetic, quiet, capable and easy to drive, and it delivers a civilized on-the-road experience. It steers with a slightly heavier touch than before but still exhibits a distinct carlike personality. A bit of steering correction is needed on straightaways, but body lean in curves is minimal. With its comparatively taut suspension, the Odyssey's ride is a bit firmer than the norm, but it exhibits near-instant recovery over bumps.
For a minivan, acceleration is wholly satisfying. It's impossible to discern when operation moves between three and six cylinders with the Variable Cylinder Management engine. Transmission shifts are crisp, quick and usually inconspicuous.
The new voice-recognition navigation system is simply amazing and makes the unit far more user-friendly.

These are 2014's best-selling cars and trucks
Tue, Jan 6 2015Now that 2014 is no more than a set of numbers on spreadsheets, at last, the grist mill gets its first real load to chew on. The number one selling vehicle in America last year was the Ford F-Series, a fact that should surprise you only if your family name is Van Winkle and your naps tend to last 38 years, which is how long the Ford pickup has ruled our buying landscape. Even though series sales were down 1.3 percent, it still racked up 753,851 units. That's 2,065.3 sales per day, every day, all year. The Chevrolet Silverado, up 10.3 percent for the year, was still a daylight second at 529,755 units. The cab-and-bed love continued into third place with the Ram 1500-3500 trucks, gaining 23.6-percent year-on-year to clock 439,789 units. The robust turnout at The Bighorn and Jeep helped Fiat-Chrysler increase its sales by 16 percent, past the two-million mark. Our number one car? The Toyota Camry, staying in first place with a 4.9-percent sales boost to 428,606 sales, trailed again by the Honda Accord at number five with 388,374 sales. Accord sales rose six percent, and if it's any consolation to Honda for coming in second - not that it needs one - it is the only manufacturer to have three vehicles in the top ten. The rest of the list: the Nissan Altima with 335,644 sales (+4.7%), the Honda CR-V with 355,019 (+10.2%), the Toyota Corolla/Matrix combo with 339,498 (+5.9%), the Honda Civic with 325,981 (-3.1%), and the Ford Fusion with 306,860 sales (+2.9%). Total sales for the year were up six percent to 16.5 million vehicles, a volume not seen since 2006, aided by a strong December that was up by 11 percent year-on-year. Ford was the top selling brand overall but sales didn't really budge from 2013, while Subaru rocketed up 21 percent to finish with 513,693 sales. At the precious end, BMW, Audi, Porsche and Land Rover all had record years, and Kelley Blue Book thinks we could be looking at 17 million sales for the next two or three years. Looks like it's time to start making hay again...

Honda takes us through 50 years of automobiles in 60 seconds
Fri, 12 Jul 2013Honda's wonderfully simple, fun ads are not in short supply right now. We showed you Hands, the followup to 2003's The Cog, last week. If you haven't had a chance to look at those two great videos, we strongly encourage you to head over that way and give them a watch.
The latest minute-long commercial is a bit more dear, though. And while it may be in Japanese, it's still a cool look back at Honda and its car-building history.
This is also a great video if you're a fan of odd, vintage Japanese vehicles. Honda's T360 and a few old Civics are featured heavily, although we can't help but notice that a few very big names are missing. Where's the NSX or the S2000? How about the original Insight, a car so revolutionary it still has a cult following today? Honda has made some great cars, we just wish it'd show off more of them. Check out the video below.
Honda to power new Formula Lites open-wheel racing series
Sun, 18 May 2014Open-wheel racing is almost always incredibly exciting to watch, whether it's the constant passing of the Indy 500 on an oval or the technological tour-de-force from Formula 1. However, both of those disciplines are essentially impossible for a normal person to enter. Of course, there are already cheaper, more amateur-friendly open-wheel competitions, like Formula Vee. A new SCCA Pro Racing series called Formula Lites aims to be a step in the ladder between those, offering a development opportunity to young drivers who want to be professionals.
The series already has some impressive backers. One of the biggest needs is now filled, as Honda has signed on as the engine supplier. All of the cars in Formula Lites will use the company's K24 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. The automaker didn't specify power output for the competition engine, but in production models the K24 has made in the neighborhood of 190-200 horsepower in many applications. That should make the racers plenty potent.
All of the cars are using the new carbon fiber FL15 chassis from Crawford Composites, and Pirelli is the series' tire supplier. The organizers' goal for the cars is to keep racing costs down, while offering a reliable platform. Formula Lites plans to start racing with a few events later in 2014, and the full calendar begins in 2015. Scroll down to read the full announcement about Honda's involvement.
