Pros Configurable second-row seats are very useful Packed with modern safety and tech features Strong V6 engine and stable handling make it enjoyable to drive Magic Slide seats Admittedly, Honda might be overselling its Magic Slide second-row seats. There's nothing magic about them. But they're terrific. You can slide the center seating section closer to the front seats to put a child closer to parents, or you can remove and store that section. Removing it turns the bench-style seat into two individual chairs. Alternatively, you can slide one of them over to create a large pass-through to the third-row seat, or you can slide them both toward the middle to put children closer to the middle of the minivan, where they're safer in a collision. So while they're not magic, Honda could easily call them Awesome Slide seats. Storage 9/10 How’s the storage? Few vehicles can best a minivan here. The storage well behind the third row is deep and perfect for grocery bags. The third-row seats are lifted and lowered manually, which requires a little muscle, but the strap handle system is easy enough to use. The Odyssey has an impressive max capacity of 144.9 cubic feet of storage with the third row lowered and the second-row seats taken out. The second-row seats are bulky and hard to remove, yet their side-to-side adjustability is a helpful storage solution if you don't need a fully flat floor. When it comes to installing car seats, the Odyssey sets the bar. Not only are the lower car seat anchors extremely accessible, but booster-age kids will also find it easy to put on their own belts.
