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.

Honda invests $215M in Ohio Earth Dreams production
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Honda has announced a $215 million investment in a pair of its Ohio operations, taking its total tally for North American operations up to $2.7 billion in three years. The announcement was made at the 2013 Center For Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City.
$180 million of the investment is earmarked for Honda's Anna, OH engine plant. The money will allow the facility to increase its aluminum die casting and increase production of Honda's Earth Dreams Technology engines. Think of Earth Dreams as sort of like Mazda's Skyactiv line, only ED is limited to a new line of engines, rather than a full suite of automotive components. Anna will also be getting a new technical center to train engineers, techs, and line workers on powertrain technology.
The remaining $35 million is slated for Honda's main Ohio operations in Marysville. A 160,000-square-foot facility will be constructed near Honda's current properties, which will house another technical training center to focus on automotive manufacturing. The new building will also house Honda's North American Services group, as well as a new heritage center.
Honda poised for growth, Detroit to hold steady, Car Wars study says
Fri, Jun 5 2015The automotive industry is expected to keep booming in the US over the next several years, but the train might start running out of steam in the long term, according to 2015's Car Wars report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst John Murphy. The forecast focuses on changes between the 2016 and 2019 model years, and the latest trends appear similar in some cases to the past predictions. Sales are expected to keep growing and reach a peak of 20 million in 2018, according to the Detroit Free Press. The expansion is projected to come from a quick pace of vehicle launches, with an average of 48 introductions a year – 26 percent more than in 1996. Crossovers are expected to make up a third of these, maintaining their strong popularity. However, Murphy predicts a decline, as well. By 2025, total sales could fall to around 15 million units. As of May 2015, the seasonally adjusted annual rate for this year stands at 17.71 million. Like last year, Honda is predicted to be a big winner in the future thanks to products like the next-gen Civic. "Honda should be the biggest market share gainer," Murphy said when presenting the report, according to Free Press. Meanwhile, in a situation similar to Car Wars from 2012, a lack of many new vehicles is expected to cause a drop for Hyundai, Kia, and Nissan. Based on this forecast, Ford, General Motors, and FCA US will all generally maintain market share for the coming years. The report does make some future product predictions, though. The next Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra might come in 2019, which is earlier than expected. Also, Lincoln could get a Mustang-based coupe for 2017, a compact sedan for 2018 and an Explorer-based model in 2019, according to the Free Press.

Acura already planning NSX Type R?
Wed, Jan 14 2015Acura just took the wraps off the production version of its long-awaited new NSX, but rumors are already circulating of an even hotter version to follow. Meeting up at the Detroit Auto Show this week, Auto Express asked the NSX's chief engineer Ted Klaus about the prospect of a Type R version in the future, to which he reportedly answered: "I think everyone who loves cars wants to see a version that we say is pure red. The NSX has always been silver first, moving towards red later. Someone asked me, 'when will you be satisfied?' Probably never. What you do today, you can improve on tomorrow." That doesn't mean that tomorrow will actually come tomorrow, but it does speak to a spirit of improvement on the NSX team that could stand to keep the American-made Japanese supercar on the knife's edge and out in front of the competition, which Klaus identified as including the Ferrari 458, Audi R8 V10 and Porsche 911 Turbo. The previous model bred the NSX-R two years after its release (in the Japanese domestic market anyway), benefiting from a 265-pound weight reduction, a stiffer suspension, and though never officially confirmed, a long-suspected bump in output.
