How about choosing Honda Odyssey for home use? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this MPV?

Nowadays, many consumers tend to prefer MPVs when buying cars. Especially the changes in annual inspection policies have made MPVs more and more popular. Among the many MPVs, the Honda Odyssey is undoubtedly a very suitable product for home use. At least compared to the Buick GL8 and Honda Allison, the Honda Odyssey seems to be more purely for home use. At least let me choose, I would choose Honda Odyssey as a family car. However, this MPV is not perfect. Next, let’s talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Honda Odyssey. I hope it will be a reference for consumers who want to buy this car as a family mobility scooter.

Let’s talk about the advantages first. After all, consumers who pay attention to this car actually really want to buy a Honda Odyssey.

Advantage 1: The size is just right

Although the trunk of the Honda Odyssey is almost not too big when it is fully loaded, this MPV fully guarantees the safety of the third row passengers. While having plenty of legroom, its body size is just right. Many people may think that the bigger the MPV, the better before buying a car. Some people even hope to buy a product larger than the Buick GL8. However, when you buy it, you will find that parking these MPVs is really inconvenient. Especially when you don’t have your own parking space, every time you park your car it feels like taking a driver’s license test. If you live in an old neighborhood, this feeling will be even better.

Advantage 2: High spatial flexibility

The space magician is really not just talk. Although the body size of Honda Odyssey is not particularly exaggerated, its space performance is very impressive. satisfy. Especially the space in the second and third rows of this car is really exciting. Of course, for consumers who have paid attention to this car, it goes without saying much about its design such as seats. I just want to say that practical, sufficient and flexible space is the key to measuring whether an MPV is worth buying.

Of course, there are actually many advantages of Honda Odyssey, such as durability, stability, etc. It is impossible to mention them all at once. However, this car also has shortcomings. Now that I have mentioned two advantages, let’s talk about two disadvantages.

The first point: the price is not low

In fact, according to the positioning of Honda Odyssey, if it were not endorsed by Honda’s brand, the price of this car should be the same as the GAC Trumpchi M6 Almost the same, or just a little higher. However, the starting price of this car is now unacceptable to many consumers. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people buying the GL8 directly. After all, the price gap between the two is not as big as imagined. To be honest, if the price of the Honda Odyssey were lower, this car might be far more popular than the Buick GL8. After all, it is so suitable for home use.

Second point: Noise problem

When traveling in the city, the Honda Odyssey performs very well, and everyone must agree on this. However, the performance of this MPV is somewhat unsatisfactory after the speed exceeds 100km/h. It's not that this car is hard to drive, but the noise inside the car is really confusing. Some people even wonder whether this is a joint venture family MPV priced at RMB 20,000 to RMB 300,000. Therefore, for consumers who want to buy an Odyssey, it is recommended that everyone test drive it.

Overall, if you simply want to buy a home MPV and are more concerned about value retention, durability, power output, and practicality, Honda Odyssey is a very good choice. However, the premise is that you must be able to accept the shortcomings of this car. Of course, if I had to choose, I would either choose a domestic MPV or a Honda Odyssey.
