It is first a greek epic poem, written by Homer
not Simpson, about the long journey of a man
It is also defined as a voyage or a long wandering
Now we, in the more populated areas in the Philippines
know little something about long wanderings don't we?
Banilad man or EDSA, our traffic sucks
But if you must and if you have the means
Then the 2018 Honda Odyssey should be on your shortlist
Now, this minivan has transcended from what was once just
sucker mom's car to now "Hey, nice wheels"
Now, the exterior is based on Honda's solid streamline
which gives it a sedan-like stance and a 150mm of ground clearance
which makes it easier to enter and exit the vehicle
Especially for smaller children and senior citizens alike
Except maybe for when you're going over speed bumps in BGC
those really really tall ones? Thats like;
A large dark chrome grille is found upfront
followed by several slash for air intake all the way down to the chin
the front camera located here works in connection with
all the other cameras around the car to provide the driver a
360 degree view when parking or when it's activated for their advantage
Now, the DRL's, the headlamps and the foglamps
are all LED affair so is too the extra lamp found on either side
which activates anytime the driver turns the steering wheel
or put the indicators on giving them a better advantage of the road
its the small things
Power sliding doors can be found on either side and controlled
via the FOG. Now, Vincent over here has marveled about the
indentations found on the door and I tend to agree
I'm sure they're not there for aerodynamics
nothing as cool as the wingtips on the Honda Jet
But you gotta admit, they look great and they do add character
so do the 17-Inch tires
Now at the back, you got a very wide taillight configuration
for maximum visibility separated by well even more chrome
come to think of it there's so much chrome on this thing
you got it on the front grille, the front chin, the side skirts
underneath the windows, the rear chin, now back here
are there some on the roof? No, no naman
but there's so much chrome on this guy that it'll probably
make Lil Jon jealous
On a side note, that's the 8th take already because Vincent
wouldn't stop laughing
Sadly, no power tailgate, there's already 2 power doors upfront
1 more wouldn't have hurt, so that's a bit of a bummer
So too, is the 351L of space
Now, there's a lower bottom that can be found here but
the configuration is a little bit weird
However chucking a Maclaren stroller not a problem at all
a Graco stroller because of its bulkiness that might be a problem
depending on the leaning of the third row
but it is a 7-seater after all, that's not a second thought
it's a proper 7-seater and if you need more space, well check this out
and bob's your uncle
Now, I'm not even sure how to calculate how much space
there is back there but I'm pretty sure that you could fit a
fridge full of beer back there with an Oompa Loompa
See what I mean?
The first thing that greets you when you get to the Odyssey
is a very comfortable seat and instruments that rather mimic
the past Civic and CR-V's which is very familiar
right down to the Krispy Kreme speedometer
to the 7-Inch infotainment system, to the sunroof
and also, the touch sensitive air controls
There's also the gear lever, no buttons on this one
like the current CR-V which is well, maybe on the next update
visibility on the Odyssey is absolutely great
thanks largely to its massive windshield and huge windows
Also the quarter windows upfront are pretty big as well
Adding to the is that the side mirrors are not mounted to the pillars
but rather to the side of the car increasing driver visibility
There's so much light that comes in here you could probably
turn this place to a tanning salon and other people don't like it
I don't mind it but this center armrest
well it's big enough to play to beer pong on
In and out of the city, the electronic power steering
is a joy to operate, its light and nimble and it really doesn't feel like
you're driving a van that's 4.8m long and 1.8m wide
in fact, the paddle shifters on this thing might make you think that
its track ready although I would advice against that
just because diving fins are made out of kevlar doesn't mean
they can be use to stop a bullet
anyway it really does feel like a sedan
even though you're carrying a 1,851Kg
Now that weight is great stability but yup you guessed it
it doesn't go very well for fuel economy
Even with its Earth Dreams Technology, this 2.4 7-Speed CVT
gets 5.2km/l in the city and I'm talking about heavy traffic
with a Eco mode on and a start-stop function off
Sorry, just not a fan of that guy
On the highway we we're able to get 10.9km/l
Now, this engine probably performs better in the Accord
because that thing carries 309Kg less, that's 6 sacks of rice
or the combined weight of The Bigshow and the Undertaker
whichever pick works for you
However that being said, the Accord doesn't have Captain's chair
Welcome to Honda's modern suite room
some of the toys you'll find in here include a 9-Inch display
for your HDMI and DVD inputs, you got your air controls
located in the center, on either side 2 air vents per captain's chair
you got your privacy screen like so, you got 2 bottle holders per chair
one on the door and one right next to you and most importantly
the seats, decked out in leather and man are they subtle
and of course why not when you're in the mood
pop open the Ottoman
Very nice
Now at the moment we're driving around with the 3rd row seats up
Now if you we're to fold that guy down and position
your captain chair all the way to the back
you could have as much as 3ft of room in front of you
that's wider than the ledge of euphoria, Uy lumalabas yung edad
easily access because of the the space found in between
the 2 chairs of the second row leather continues all the way
to the very roomy 3rd row as well as the side curtain airbags
and airvents, you'll also find a 12V power outlet and a HDMI port back here
which I found a little bit odd. See, there is not HDMI port
for the 2nd row and you'd think they'd give that importance because
after all it is the captain's chairs. Again, its just the small things
Capable of moving 7 people in and out of the city or serve as an
executive's very large runabout. The Honda Odyssey EX-Navi
comes in at P2,433,000 now others out there might choose the EX
because it is after all P354,000 cheaper and it seats 8
However, you're already there, you're talking about a car that
already cost 2 million pesos and the difference is leather seats
captain's chair, power doors it may not be the difference between the
economy and first class, but its definitely business class
and that is no small thing
