Review Car

There was a time when minivans were hated by the style-conscious parents about children as much as they hate hand-me-downs from their older siblings, but it seems as though they have made ​​it through these dark days. At the other end of the tunnel, we still can not ignore that with easy driving nature, comfortable seats, amazing flexibility, and a spacious interior, minivan makes sense - and in style, they do not have to be so oppressive. 

Among the best of the bunch at the moment - and really, why minivans are still relevant templates and fun - is the 2013 Honda Odyssey. Design a car trying to hold on to the Baby Boomer crowd is too long, which is really part of the problem, but with the current version of the Honda looks directly to the parents at this time. With Bluetooth connectivity, up-to-date infotainment and entertainment features, and a lot of tech-savvy, plus top-notch safety and even a little intelligent design, the Odyssey is not shabby or outdated. 

Car designers face a very difficult task - trying to make these boxes on wheels are attractive and stylish, without giving space efficiency. And they get it right with the Odyssey in some respects. While it is quite generic from behind, it was fitted with the Honda family from the front and from the side profile is pretty easy to pick out in a crowd. Credit the "lightning" hump along the rear window; it is a gesture that serves to add much needed flair and design outside aid visibility, a little. 

What is under the hood of 2013 Honda Odyssey may not be much of a problem for the majority of car buyers; But even if you are in a category that you can be sure that he has what it takes to accelerate strongly, passed quickly, change lanes confidence, and even took a steep mountain road with a full load. In short, Odyssey perform more like a car - even a bit sporty - than an SUV. Hondas 3.5-liter i-VTEC V-6 making 247 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque on all Odyssey models, but while most of the lineup gets a five-speed automatic transmission, top-of-the-line Touring and Touring Elite models get a six -Speed ​​automatically. Odyssey handles more like a V-6 Accord, despite the appearance of aligning more closely with the Pilot. 

2013 Honda Odyssey has the bragging rights that may be enough to affect many families safety-minded buyers: This is one of the few major vehicle to achieve top rankings from both the United States security agencies. It also stands out because it offers aa class-leading six child-seat tether locations and five LATCH locations (official clip). And for 2013, the new system rearview camera is standard on all trims Odyssey. 

Odyssey can be equipped with technology with some prominent features such as blind-spot system, auto-leveling HID lamps, and the system is hard-drive based music. But all of these features remain the exclusive domain over the Odyssey Touring and Touring Elite models, and Hondas tendency to push some of the most desirable features for a much more expensive trim levels (not part of a package or a la carte option) can be frustrating. For 2013, the base LX no longer skimps on Bluetooth connectivity; are now standard equipment on all Odysseys, and the base LX models now also get intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID) and 8-inch TFT screen, 2 gigabytes of storage in addition to audio, USB and audio ports.
