10 Things To Know Before Buying The 2023 Honda Odyssey

Being part of the ever-growing mid-size pickup truck segment, the Honda Ridgeline is a well-rounded package that offers the driving dynamics and the ride quality of a car without compromising too much on the versatility of a pickup truck.
The interior is impressive, with a spacious cabin, a long list of features, and great craftsmanship, all of which are a notch above some of the rivals.
So let's look at ten things you need to know before buying the 2023 Honda Ridgeline.

Toyota everything odessey needs, Honda has everything Toyota needs, why can someone put them together and a one great minivan everyone needs. 🤦

how about a discussion about the problems associated with the 3.5 liter v6 cylinder deactivation system?

Honda Odyssey is automotive masterpiece....🚘🚘🚘

[vicswincki]

i just priced one. $40K is pretty heavy.

[MLFranklin]

There is a *complimentary* maintenance program? When why was my dealer trying to upsell me to $2k for a 2-year maintenance plan?!

If odyssey becomes hybrid it’ll be the perfect minivan in the market

[frankt]

I always feel wasteful of energy when breaking. Can we have hybrids to recover breaking energy?

I researched, drove, and thought long and hard about this van. In the end, I didn't go with it. It drives like a van should. It's competent. The seats were comfortable. Honda does minivans very well. Still one of the best. What got me was the dated styling. Now styling is subjective. I know that. Some don't even care about it, as long as it gets there safely. I get it. But I care about styling. What Honda didn't do was to put effort into it. They got lazy and complacent. That's why the body style has not changed in 7-8 years. The interior desperately needs an overhaul and they didn't do it last year, nor did they do it this year. The infotainment center looks like it was designed and built in 2015. It's dated. The graphics are borderline insulting compared to some of the others. Again, if you don't care about those things, then this should be at the top of your list. But Honda lost a lot of customers to Kia (Carnival) because Kia looks modern, it has a lot of tech, and it's a fresh design with all the top tech. It just gave you more for the dollar than the Honda.

He mistakenly said the sienna is a plug in hybrid.

[zachsaenz]

Can anyone tell me any personal experiences driving on the highway and is it a nightmare

[mountainhobo]

So you're just reading marketing drivel?

[gualbertomarmolejo]

I need a reliable van...not glamour vans like carnivals...and pacificas that will be in the shop most if their time...all that glitter...The sienna is the only true competitor!

The review concerns the Honda Odyssey, but the text refers to the Honda Ridgeline.

[bitfenix]

First, it's "decent" gas mileage then it's "superb". Hmmm. And "superb leg room" in the front seat? No. The little Subaru Crosstrek as 3 more inches (40" vs. 43").

How come Honda doesn’t make the hybrid van? Come on now

[johnreno]

its a great van but 4-things are so frustrating. its critical deal-breakers. and those 4-things are: 1. no pano-roof option. 2. no awd option. 3. no 360-view cam option. 4. still silly timing belt instead of timing chain. come on honda, .. make it happened in next 6-th gen odyssey. honda please listen to customers. you need those 4-things.
