2010 Honda Odyssey LS 2WD

Since the full-sized Odyssey debuted as a 1999 model, it’s been at or near the top of Everyone’s list of best minivans True story: A relative asked what vehicle she should get. A mother of three, she described her automotive needs and couldn’t have more accurately described an Odyssey. Drive it, as a rule the Odyssey handles better than any other minivan. Class-leading child-seat positions, Thoughtful interior touches, Improved fuel economy, all reasons to consider this nearly new 2010. Another Odyssey advantage is its 450-plus-mile cruising range. Sometimes kids demand frequent potty breaks. Other times they’ll sleep for hours. Fill up with gas at every bathroom break. You never know when they’ll take a long nap and you can take advantage of a straight 450-mile cruise in quiet. One reason for the Odyssey’s impressive mileage range is its engine management system. It deactivates cylinders when you don’t need all the available horsepower. By closing intake and exhaust valves on up to three cylinders, the system improves fuel mileage from the conventional engine’s 16 mpg city and 23 mpg highway regime to 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. Two miles a gallon doesn’t sound like a lot until you multiply it by the Odyssey’s 21-gallon fuel tank: That’s more than an hour of extra nap time for the kids. FYI, the Odyssey is built in Alabama, just five miles from Talladega Super Speedway. This Odyssey occupies the middle of the road in terms of pricing but it’s an absolute bargain when you compare it to the newer breed of luxury MPVs like the Mercedes-Benz R-Class and BMW 5-Series GT.
