2012 HONDA ODYSSEY PERFORMANCE & HANDLING
According to U.S. News and World Report, "Reviewers love the 2012 Honda Odyssey for its performance, calling it the best-driving minivan you can buy today. Engine power is good and handling is even a touch sporty, which is a rare thing in this class." The Honda Odyssey comes equipped with a 3.5L, 24-valve SOHC i-VTEC V6 engine that puts out 248 hp, giving it power comparable to other highly rated minivans. Front-wheel drive is standard on all models. Both Touring models, however, come with an automatic six-speed transmission (19 city/28 hwy mpg), opposed to the automatic five-speed on the other three trims: the base LX, the technology-geared EX and the upper-class EX-L (18 city/27 hwy mpg)[1]. For passenger comfort, Honda went the extra mile by including active noise-cancelling technology, resulting in a whisper-quiet drive unique to the Odyssey. |

2012 HONDA ODYSSEY EXTERIOR & INTERIOR
A sleek, aerodynamic design contributes to a quiet Honda Odyssey cabin and excellent fuel mileage for its class. The minivan sits low and wide on its drivetrain, adding to the sporty look and feel of the Odyssey. Power-operated sliding doors (EX and above) and power liftgate (EX-L and above) make it easier on busy parents who frequently find themselves without enough hands - both can be operated from the remote key fob. Large 18-inch alloy wheels give the Touring models a uniquely aggressive but pleasant feel (17-inch wheels are standard on all other models). A rear roofline spoiler with integrated brake light system completes the modern look.
While the exterior design focuses on a sleek, "lightning bolt" style, the design philosophy of the 2012 Honda Odyssey interior is all about family-friendly comfort. Roomy enough to comfortably seat eight people - including three child safety seats side-by-side in the back row - the Odyssey gets huge points in this category. In addition, more legroom across all three rows makes for a comfortable ride for older children as well. The third row folds down manually, and while this might seem like a disadvantage, the Magic Seat folding mechanism makes it easier and quicker to expand your trunk space than even the power-operated folding benches standard on other minivans. Leather trim is available on the EX-L model, along with a chilled storage box and flip-up trash-bag ring, so you can always have drinks and snacks readily available without worrying about cleanup. When you upgrade to the EX-L, you also get the choice of the Honda Satellite-Linked voice-operated navigation system with rearview camera and 15 GB hard drive or the Honda DVD Ultrawide Rear Entertainment System with HDMI Technology. The navigation system will be helpful for urban parents who frequently brave big-city traffic, while the entertainment system will keep children in the back seat amused for long car rides. Both come standard on the Touring models, but you can only choose one for the EX-L. Honda's Radio Display System keeps you connected to the music you love on all models, but upgrades that include the USB Audio Interface (for playing MP3 tunes), XM radio-ready option and Surround Sound stereo system can improve your listening experience in the Odyssey. |

2012 HONDA ODYSSEY SAFETY FEATURES
When it comes to protecting you and your family, Honda holds nothing back. With standard safety features from antilock disc brakes, tire pressure monitoring, stability and traction control, active front head restrains and airbags that cover all three rows, the Odyssey will help keep you safe on the road. The Touring Elite model even has a cutting-edge Blind Spot Information System with indicator light. In three tests administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Odyssey scored five stars for each seat, as well as five safety stars overall. In case of an accident, the Odyssey has a rigid body structure engineered to absorb impact. According to Edmund's, the Odyssey went from 60 mph to a full stop in 129 feet - an average distance for comparable minivans |
