Basic information

2009 Honda Odyssey 2.4 Absolute RB3

Reason why I bought this car

I was considering buying a family car such as an MPV (multi-purpose vehicle. I need a bigger vehicle to accommodate 3 children comfortably and occasional outstation travel. Safety measures and good visibility are my top priorities. I know I need to get a bigger vehicle to accommodate many passengers and bring a lot of luggages.

Car selection process

• I had a budget of: RM 70k
• Models that I have considered include: Honda Elysion

The reason why I choose this car

• Top safety with 6 airbags and great visibility
• NVH and build quality
• Sporty and aggressive design
• Reliable engine
• Full of space and practicality

User experience

• I have already done 110,475 km
• My average fuel consumption is 14.1 km/L

As this bigger mpv from my previous B-segment sedan, immediately can notice the spaciousness of the cabin and boot space. Seating position is perfectly on point and anyone can enter  the vehicle without any help. Honda is always perfect and a master of interior design. I'm quite amazed by the quietness while driving above the speed limit  and the stability Honda suspension offered. Even driving in wet conditions I feel confident. After doing 110,475km, my overall experience has been  pretty good. l can’t complain or rethink for a second why I bought this  car. I feel like driving a sedan. Another thing worth mentioning is the air-conditioning vents for back seat passengers, it really keeps passengers cool in the back seat. This car drives so well on the corners, it is really easy to drive.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Great handling around corner

Summary

Honda Odyssey may be the good choice and value for money. In my opinion, it is very practical and sporty. Honda owners appreciate the refinement quality and safety features in the chassis and drivetrain. For me personally, it ticks all the needs in my criteria. And l enjoy it very much. It keeps me smiling every while driving this car. I had many memories with this car. That's all.
