Should I Buy the 2022 Honda Odyssey?
The Odyssey is a sensible family-hauler that should satisfy those who need lots of seating, plenty of cargo room or a combination of the two. Its car-like driving manners and ease of entry and exit make it a practical alternative to a high-riding SUV, so long as you don’t need a lot of towing capability; the Odyssey is rated to tow 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. Unlike the Pacifica and Sienna, the Odyssey doesn’t offer all-wheel drive, and to get useful convenience features like power-sliding side doors or Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you have to step up to the EX trim level.
