2013 Honda Odyssey EX-L

The 2013 Odyssey is Honda's minivan, built to carry eight people and all their gear with room to spare. It drives with a smooth, confident feel that makes highway trips easy, though the ride is on the firm side for a minivan. The seats fold flat into the floor for a huge cargo area, and the sliding doors make loading kids and groceries a breeze. Higher trims add a rear entertainment system, navigation, and a blind spot camera, all controlled from a central touchscreen. The EX-L skips the Touring's integrated vacuum and 6-speed automatic but adds leather seating, heated front seats, and a power moonroof for a lot less money. Its 3.5L V6 makes 248 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque, routed through a five-speed automatic to the front wheels, and Variable Cylinder Management helps it earn 21 mpg combined. The optional navigation package upgrades the rearview camera to a multi-angle unit and swaps the 8-inch i-MID screen for a high-resolution WVGA display.
