Why We Drove It: The Honda Odyssey was the top-ranked model in its class in the J.D. Power and Associates 2008 Automotive Performance, Execution, and Layout Study (APEAL), which measures customer satisfaction with a vehicle's performance and design attributes. The Odyssey is also an IIHS "Top Safety Pick," receives 5-star crash-test ratings from the NHTSA in frontal and side impact measures, and is one of the most fuel-efficient minivans on the market.
• The 2009 Honda Odyssey is made in Lincoln, Alabama, and 80 percent of its parts are sourced from the U.S. or Canada.
• The 2009 Honda Odyssey EX-L and Touring models are equipped with Variable Cylinder Management (VCM), which shuts down two or three of the engine’s six cylinders under low load driving conditions to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
• When VCM is active, a green “Eco” light illuminates on the dashboard to inform the driver.
• To mask the engagement and disengagement of VCM, Honda employs Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology and an Active Control Engine Mount (ACM) to mitigate the noise and vibration the VCM makes when operating.
• Honda calls its 60/40 split third-row seat a Magic Seat. The Magic Seat was standard on the very first Odyssey model in 1995, but it wasn’t until the second-generation Odyssey arrived for 1999 that the Magic Seat’s ability to flip and fold down into the floor became a must-have minivan feature that all competitors feature today.
• When the 2009 Honda Odyssey’s third-row Magic Seat is in use, there is 38.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind it.
• When the 2009 Honda Odyssey’s third-row Magic Seat is folded into the floor, the minivan provides 91.1 cubic feet of cargo space. That’s more than a Honda Pilot with its second- and third-row seats folded down.
• The total amount of cargo space offered by the Honda Odyssey when the Magic Seat is folded and the second-row seats are removed is 147.4 cubic feet, 10 cubes more than a Chevy Suburban.
• The 2009 Honda Odyssey EX, EX-L and Touring are equipped with a PlusOneSeat that installs between the two second-row captain’s chairs to create 8-passenger seating.
• The 2009 Honda Odyssey’s PlusOneSeat has a storage compartment underneath the bottom cushion.
• The 2009 Honda Odyssey’s second-row captain’s chairs can slide together to form a two-person bench seat while creating a wider pass-through to the third-row seat.
• Honda’s available navigation system includes Zagat Survey restaurant ratings and information.
• When the Odyssey EX-L is purchased without the available navigation system, images from the rearview camera are displayed in a window embedded into the rearview mirror.
• The 2009 Honda Odyssey Touring’s optional Michelin PAX run-flat tire system allows the driver to travel 125 miles at 50 mph without stopping to change a flat tire.
• A 2009 Honda Odyssey Touring with the Michelin PAX run-flat system weighs 4,693 pounds. That’s almost as much as the base curb weight of a Hummer H3.
• The 2009 Honda Odyssey’s front/rear weight distribution is 55/45, better than most front-wheel-drive vehicles.
• The 2009 Honda Odyssey can tow up to 3,500 pounds.

DO NOT BUY HONDA ODYSSEY'S. New 2009 Honda Odyssey with 5000 miles. Dealer has had to upgrade the transmission software twice and replaced the torque converter one to attempt to eliminate a transmission vibration issue. Steering wheel shakes when moved off center and vibrates at highway speeds. Tires rotated, balanced, etc. Both problems still present with no improvement. Honda regional manager this is a design issue and that all Odyssey's will exhibit these issues!!! Both sliding doors rattled severely, now they just squeak. Dealer won't touch the vehicle anymore to prevent Lemon Law from becoming effective. Drive vehicle on smooth roads and YOU WILL notice these issues.

Engine vibration at low speeds, which led to top half of engine requiring fix @ 22000 miles 23000 miles torque converter malfunction. repaired along with pop or clunk sound when turning left or right really noticeable if sitting in passenger seat. Honda Service, Regional Rep and Honda Mediation play blind eye to matter even though tech says problems exist. Before i forget pinging @21000 miles that can not be fixed by using any grade of gas from
