honda odyssey si Q&A Review

What are the greatest cars of all time?

There are a lot of options Honda,: known for reliability. Not my favorite company but that's because for personal reasons. I owned one and hated it. But a lot of people like them. Civic (coup) Civic 4 door (sedan) Civic si (coup) Accord (sedan) CRV (utility vehicle) S2000 (more $$$ but you can find some for under 20k) sports car Odyssey (van) Fit (economy compact) Pilot (utility) S2000 Toyota,: Great company, also know for reliability. I love Toyotas. Fun, and reliable. RAV4 (utility Vehicle) Corolla (economy car) Camry (sedan) Celica (they stopped production in 2006. Very inexpensive car) sport economy FJ cruiser (off-road vehicle) doesn't have to be though Prius (economy hybrid) Yaris (economy compact) Corolla Mazda,: good company. Reliable, fun cars. Miata (economy) Mazdaspeed Miata (sport) Mazda3 (economy sedan) very popular car. Looks good, fun to drive, and great reviews Mazda 3 (hatchback) very popular car. Looks good, fun to drive, and great reviews Mazdaspeed3 hatchback (I own this car) there are first and second generations. I own the gen1. Very fast car from a roll. Very fun car, looks good, and just throws you back in your seat from a roll. Also has 4 doors. Mazda 6 (sedan) great looking car Mazdaspeed6 (sport) only made for a couple years. Same engine as a Mazdaspeed3 but is like a sedan but meaner. Also, it is AWD and has 4 doors as well. Mazda 2 (compact economy) uncomfortable but great gas mileage. CX5 (SUV) Out of this list, most if not all are pretty reliable vehicles. In my opinion, If you are looking for Sport: You might want to check out the Mazdaspeeds or the s2000 Comfortability and reliability: Mazda3, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Camry. Family vehicle: Honda Oddysey, Mazda CX5, maybe an FJ Cruiser Fuel economy: Toyota Prius, Honda Fit, or Mazda2

Why do all of Honda's recent cars look generally the same (Accord, Civic, Pilot, CRV)? Why won't they innovate just a little bit?

Honda has generally been a conservative auto manufacturer. The Civic has usually been a bit more performance oriented than the Accord. The Accord has been somewhat more stately, if not tame. Sure, there have been times when they were both pretty mild vehicles. Early Civics were designed to be economy cars, and nothing more. Early Accords were designed to be economy cars with a bit more interior room. The CR-V tapped into the emerging crossover market-because wagons were out of fashion, minivans were for soccer moms, and SUV’s were gaining in popularity, but true SUV’s were large, uneconomical, and expensive. The Pilot gave Honda a mid-size SUV/CUV to replace the discontinued Passport (a rebadged Izuzu Rodeo) and something to compete with the Highlander. They tend to be a bit more aggressive in their styling on the Acura products. More angular lines, sharp creases running down the sides of the body, and more impactful grill design up front. Sometimes they look good, sometimes they don’t. Same with the Honda lineup. I loved my 6th-generation Accord. Sales figures show that the car-buying public did, too. They sold enough 1998–2000 and 2001 refreshed Accords that Honda extended to a fifth production year for that generation. I’m glad they did, because my 2002 Accord EX-L was one of the best purchases I’ve ever made, and I enjoyed all 221,623 miles I put on that car in the 14 years, 4 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days I owned it. I also liked the 1st-generation TSX (essentially a continuation of the 6th-generation Accord platform, but with the K-engine, new sheet metal, and new interior), but didn’t care much f,or the 7th or 8th-Generation Accord (though the 8th-gen coupe didn’t look too bad, I prefer 4-doors). The 9th-Generation Accord looked better, but they replaced the double wishbone suspension with McPherson struts-didn’t affect appearance, but did affect handling and maintenance. The 2016 refresh took a decent looking sedan and made it more striking, with more aggressive looks. In my opinion, they ruined it in 2018. The current Accord just doesn’t look good. It’s that front grill/bumper design. If you look at the Accord, Altima and Maxima, they all share the same styling cues up front. Maybe they were going after Audi’s A-series grill? Not sure. It’s not a good look on them. Granted, it isn’t as bad as Toyota with the Corolla, Camry, and Avalon (those look like somebody caught the bumper on a curb and ripped the center out of the front of the car). None of them are as bad as the current Prius, which looks like somebody drove it into one of those bollards at the gas station and crushed the front end, then drove off like nothing ever happened. Again, that’s my opinion, yours may be vastly different. The Civic pepped up with the various generations of Si models. I’ve never been that much of a coupe guy, but the ’99 and ’00 Si in Electron Blue Pearl was always a sharp little car, and with 160hp and a manual gearbox, they were fun to drive. Afterward, the Si was only available in a Hatchback, and if there’s anything I dislike more than a coupe, it’s a hatch (okay, I’ll make a few exceptions, like a Mark I GTi, an R-32, a Reliant Robin on its side after a failed corner attempt…) but they were pretty hot little cars. Maybe not very aggressive looking, though. Throughout the 80’s and 90’s, they were boxy, then they softened the corners, yet they were always pretty tame looking. That would change for the 2016 models. That’s when they decided to target younger buyers, and they changed their styling to be more, I don’t know…modern? Not really so much in a good way. They aren’t ugly cars, but they don’t look great. The Pilot was a (mostly) clean-sheet, redesigned, less expensive version of the Acura MDX for the Honda brand that could replace the Passport and offer a competing product to Toyota’s Highlander. It started out with some design cues of the MDX, but softened a bit to stay in line with the Honda lineup. The second generation Pilot was boxier, and more closely resembled the Ridgeline (but no, I wouldn’t venture to say it was edgy or aggressive looking). The third generation looks like an Odyssey with swing doors in the back, which in many ways is exactly what it is. If you don’t want a minivan, get the Pilot. If you don’t want a CUV/SUV, get the Odyssey. If your kids have a habit of spilling Cheerios all over the floor, get the Odyssey Touring with Hondavac, and you can take care of that, too… The C-RV hasn’t really been a winner in the style department if you ask me. The first generation was okay up front, but the high-mounted tail lamps didn’t do it any favors (though they were probably good for visibility to those following). What it lacked in looks, it made up for in innovation. Hanging the spare tire outside gave them room for a special feature inside- it had an ice chest in the back. You probably already knew this, but CR-V stands for Civic Recreational-Vehicle. They make a tent that attaches to the back and you can camp out in this thing. Not sure I’d try it, but it’s an option. They offered All-wheel-drive on the first-generation models back in the 90’s. That was pretty nifty. I’ll wrap up with this. Honda hasn’t really been about style. They’ve had some decent performers. Maybe not spectacular, but there were exceptions. The S2000, CRX, and Prelude, among others in their day actually made their mark in automotive history- the CRX Del Sol offered 100hp per liter-not bad! I have yet to run into anyone that didn’t absolutely love their Honda Element. Bottom line: their innovation was usually technical and mechanical, not stylistic.

How much can I realistically spend on a car given the financial situation I am including in the detail section?

Until the student loan is paid off and you have a nice cushion built up, your priority should be to keep your monthly expenduture as low as possible. The well established way to do that is to buy a car at five years old (after the most severe depreciation) and sell at fifteen (before the really big repair bills). So, prepare to plan for the next ten years. Personally, I don't like the way hybrids do, well, anything... Other than sip gas. They suck at everything else a car should do well. But, gas can add up on a 90 minute commute, so the alternatives: 2010 honda civic si. I would immediately remove the si badge to avoid the idiots, but the car handles way better than a fwd car has any right to, revs like crazy, and gets 30mpg. It is easily fun enough to drive for a decade. Plan on spending $11k and get an adult owned one without exception. 2010 honda accord v6 sedan. If you want something a little more grown up and subtle, this generation accord is sneaky. The v6 has a staggering 271 hp and still gets 27mpg. Typically adult owned and well maintained. Also around $11k. It is not as spry in the bends but that engine makes up for it. 2010 mazda 3. A little louder than the accord but more room with the hatchback. Very fun little car... But... You really need the manual. Mazda and automatics just don't go together. $10k and 33 mpg. And finally, the crazy suggestion. 2009-2010 honda odyssey ex-l. That's right, a friggin minivan. Aside from the 244hp engine that still gets 25mpg, comfy heated leather seats, killer stereo and honda reliability, you get one big extra. Space. So much space. Forget about hauling kids, this thing will haul a 4x8 sheet of plywood flat on the floor with the rear hatch closed. Nothing short of a suburban will do that. As you start to build a life this next decade, having a vehicle that can haul couches, dressers, home improvement materials, camping gear, mountain bikes, six of your closest friends, and possibly ride share guests (who pay for gas of course) can be invaluable. We pulled out the middle seats in ours and now we have fold down rear seats that can seat three with massive leg room. Yes, you might get teased a bit. Deep down though, they will be jealous of all that juicy space.

Why is the auto-insurance of Honda cars so high in Toronto and neighbouring places?

This is true only for the Civic. Especially the SI. It’s because of the following factors: Highly modifiable (lots of people buy and modify to increase horsepower) Top theft target. Lots of younger drivers buy this car so it’s got a higher accident rate. If you were to buy a Honda Odyssey, it’s actually significantly cheaper than the Civic to insure.

How have you helped yourself through the time that you haven't had work?

During the 2008 recession, I and several others were laid off from an estimator position I had held for three our four years. I thought “no problem, I have a journeyman (not master at the time) electrical license”. I figured I would call my old contacts from when I was “on my tools”. No luck. Check the newspapers, web, even the work line from the local (what a stretch, right), still no luck, which for Austin Tx is a sign that times are tough. I even checked job boards and lines for locals all over the country, no luck. The previous employer gave us a pretty generous severance package, as they were owned by Westinghouse by this time, but I wasn’t going to go through that THEN start looking for work. I also have an AS in “Micorcomputer Support”, but that was a dead end, as you really need a BS and certifications in that field to do much more than run a help desk. After a week or so, I decided to find a “car project”. ( I am a shade tree mechanic by hobby). I figured if times were that tough, guys would be parking (or getting rid of) the $60,000 diesel mega trucks for something that would get decent mileage and be more practical. The first car I found a NICE 91 Acura Integra with a blown head gasket for $200. (It was a little older than I preferred, but so clean, and a HONDA, so I took a chance. I also picked up a wrecked 1992 Honda Civc SI with a good engine For $500. I did the swap and sold the Integra for $2000 and all of the left over Civic parts for $1000. I rolled this into several other cars, such as a 2000 Toyota Corolla with a blown head gasket I bought for $1000 and sold for $2000 after replacing the gasket timing belt, water pump (actual cause of damage) and hoses and a nice, clean 2004 Honda Odyssey with 60k miles and a bad trans I bought for $1500 and sold for $5500 after swapping in a $700 25k mile trans from a wrecking yard. Around the same time, I happened into a job listed on CRAIGSLIST- WITH HEALTH INSURANCE just a few miles from home. I was “underemployed” cleaning, testing and listing industrial tools and equipment, state surplus, etc for a company I referred to as “Sanford and Son 2000”. Since I was employed again, I decided to go a little to left field and bought a clean but lightly wrecked 1962 Mercury Comet S22 (google it). I wasn’t able to sell it for what I wanted, but I did trade it for a 1967 Massey Ferguson 2200 Industrial Tractor with a Perkins diesel, front loader and box blade (which I still own and use weekly). Other projects included a non operational mortar mixer, concrete mixer and two ditch witch trenchers that my dad and I bought from the local McCoy’s lumber yard for $500 (for all of it!) when they got out of the rental business. After some repairs and a new Honda engine on one of the trenchers, I made around $2000, and kept one of the trenchers! Since I was employed again, I thought I would “splurge” as I also had found a clean 2001 Chevy 2500HD regular cab diesel with 100k miles and a lift gate for $4000 (which I still have). The only defect was non op AC and it was July. (This resulted in me getting the truck for $1000 less than the asking price, which I repaired for around $400 with a new compressor, flush and recharge. Since I didn’t need two trucks, I sold my 1997 Chevy 1500 x cab for $3,000 (resulting in an outlay of only $1000). As far as employment, I still kept beating the bushes and after my underemployment for a year, I landed a job with the city as a maintenance electrician at the local international airport. I was there for four years before landing the job I have had now going on six years. AS for my “side hustle”, I had a buddy who did a similar thing with motorcycles (street bikes at the time). Previously, he would make side money fixing mostly dirt bikes and ATV’s people would bring him, but he figured people would be riding motorcycles more and started buying non runners, fixing and flipping. He was able to do this out of his two car garage. Other friends branched into more “handyman” type stuff that people needed done, but couldn’t afford to call someone out o the phone book for (like most do now- how quickly they forget). Another did PC repairs and “IT stuff”, and actually still does, having never gone back to work for anyone and is hos own boss with two people working for him! The point of this ramble is to say “STAY BUSY, DON’T QUIT”. You might not have the space to fix cars like I did, but find some to stay busy and make some extra scratch. I was taught this, not by school or even being TOLD by my parents, but by example from them (and grandparents). Also, don’t live beyond your means. My wife and I just closed on a new home. Our family is only three people, so we built a 1900 sq. ft. home on land we already had since 1997. To me it is more than large enough. We had money from the sale of another larger house we bought in 2010, fixed and flipped for a nice profit in 2016.

Is the Honda Vtec the best engine ever not considering Ferrari’s sport cars?

I will preface this by saying that I am not familiar at all with Ferrari engines, but am a service advisor at Honda and know nearly everything about Honda engines. Pretty much every Honda engine is equipped with some sort of “vtec” system. Vtec is just a fancy branding term for Honda’s variable valve timing system that allows the engine to adjust the timing and amount (distance/length) that the intake or exhaust valves open and close (in relation to the position of the pistons) There are many different versions of Vtec systems such as “I-vtec” depending on the engine design. Some are more complex and some are quite simple. When people refer to “hitting vtec” in their Honda Civic they are misinformed because the vehicle is always using vtec. In an economy or normal version of say the CR-V or Civic the Vtec will usually only be on the intake valves for the purpose of limiting the air coming Into the engine at lower rpm to optimize the fuel needed. Many “economy” vtec systems will open the two Intake valves on each combustion chamber at offset amounts in order to create a swirling effect which results in great efficiency of the air entering each cylinder. The higher end vehicles like the Odyssey and Pilot have vtec on both Intake and exhaust to allow for optimized fuel economy at low rpm, but also dramatically increased rate of acceleration at high rpm by allowing more air to pass through the engine in a quicker amount of time (sort of similar to how a turbo charger crams more air into an engine for quick acceleration) I personally own a civic si which has 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with vtec on both intake and exhaust valves and it is very noticeable when the vtec switches to its higher performance camshaft lobe. This “cross over” into high performance vtec can be heard and felt in the interior of the car and is what people are referring to when they claim they “hit vtec”. The result is very similar fuel economy as a regular economy civic, but “rice rocket” acceleration which will blow away most average commuter vehicle when needed. This is great for instances of merging into traffic or switching lanes on the expressway to a faster moving lane. As you may imagine the higher performance vtec camshaft lobe will result in dramatically decreased fuel economy and tend to burn more oil in older Honda’s Honda statistically achieves higher fuel economy and more power with smaller engines (when compared to the competition) and their engines run very smooth and can achieve impressively high rpms (mine has fuel cut off at 8300rpm) In contrast I also own a Scion tC (mechanically very similar to the 4cyl Camry) with a 2.5 L naturally aspirated engine (it has variable valve timing but does not “lift” the valves higher in high rpm driving to provide “rice rocket” acceleration that Honda fans have come to love. The result is a quite boring driving experience, using a larger engine which uses more fuel and has noticeably less power (not exactly what you would desire) to make matters worse many 4cyl Toyotas have a more fluttery idle that you can occasionally feel in your feet. Don’t get me wrong the Scion tC is a very well designed vehicle from a durability and reliability standpoint, mostly because Toyota seriously grandma tunes their engines to provide longevity. The average commuter will never know or care and will be happy with the reliability, but the driving enthusiast will see that the dynamic experience of driving a Honda is far superior, more economical, and just as reliable with excellent resale value. (At this point I wouldn’t consider buying an vehicle other than one made by Honda, as all of their vehicle feel exceptional for an “economy car” Honda is excellent at engineering engines (and they build more motors than any company worldwide each year). In 2 years of working at a Honda dealer I have seen 1 single brand new Honda engine that had a “blow up” or engine failure shortly after purchase (To which Honda immediately sent us a new $9k motor to replace it with). This was in a 2018 Accord with the 1.5L turbo, this is not that surprising to me as 2018 introduced a completely new Accord for the first time ever with turbo. I would assume Ferrari has some sort of variable valve timing system and is capable of matching or exceeding the power ratio of a Honda engine, but the reality is Honda builds these small engines for the mainstream market and Ferrari is more of a rarity, using much larger engines so you can expect them to really blow the doors of any car you would see on the road.

What is iv-Tec?

Honda i-VTEC is a system for fuel economy(intelligent-VTEC has VTC continuously variable timing of camshaft phasing on the intake camshaft of DOHC VTEC engines. The technology first appeared on Honda's K-series four-cylinder engine family in 2001 (2002 in the U.S.). In the United States, the technology debuted on the 2002 Honda CR-V. VTEC controls of valve lift and valve duration are still limited to distinct low- and high-RPM profiles, but the intake camshaft is now capable of advancing between 25 and 50 degrees, depending upon engine configuration. Phasing is implemented by a computer-controlled, oil-driven adjustable cam sprocket. Both engine load and RPM affect VTEC. The intake phase varies from fully retarded at idle to somewhat advanced at full throttle and low RPM. The effect is further optimization of torque output, especially at low and midrange RPM. There are two types of i-VTEC K series engines which are explained in the next paragraph. K-serie The K-Series engines have two different types of i-VTEC systems implemented for K20A2/K20Z3 engines and K20A3/K24A4 engines. The first is for the K20A2/K20Z3 performance engines like in the 2002-2006 ,RSX, Type S or the 2006-2010 ,Civic Si, and the other is for the K24A4 economy engines found in the ,CR-V, or ,Accord,. The performance i-VTEC system is basically the same as the DOHC VTEC system of the B16A's; both intake and exhaust have 3 cam lobes per cylinder. However, the valvetrain has the added benefit of roller rockers and continuously variable intake cam timing. Performance i-VTEC is a combination of conventional DOHC VTEC with VTC (which operates for intake valves only). The VTC is available in the economy and performance i-VTEC engines. The economy i-VTEC K20A3/K24A4 engines is more like the SOHC VTEC-E in that the intake cam has only two lobes, one very small and one larger, as well as no VTEC on the exhaust cam. The two types of(K20A2)engine are easily distinguishable by the factory rated power output: the performance engines make around 200 hp (150 kW) or more in stock form and the economy(K20A3)engines do not make much more than 160 hp (120 kW) from the factory. R-series The i-VTEC system in the R-Series engine uses a modified SOHC VTEC system consisting of one small and two large lobes. The large lobes operate the intake valves directly while the small lobe is engaged during VTEC. Unlike typical VTEC systems, the system in the R-Series engine operates in a 'reverse' fashion engaging only at low to mid RPMS. At low RPMs, the small lobe locks onto one of the larger lobes and keeps one of the intake valves open during the compression cycle, similar to the ,Atkinson Cycle,. The ability for Honda to switch between Atkinson cycle and normal cycle allows excellent fuel efficiency without sacrificing too much performance. i-VTEC with Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) In 2003, Honda introduced an i-VTEC V6 (an update of the ,J-series,) that includes Honda's cylinder deactivation technology which closes the valves on one bank of (3) cylinders during light load and low speed (below 80 km/h (50 mph)) operation. According to Honda, "VCM technology works on the principle that a vehicle only requires a fraction of its power output at cruising speeds. The system electronically deactivates cylinders to reduce fuel consumption. The engine is able to run on 3, 4, or all 6 cylinders based on the power requirement, essentially getting the best of both worlds. V6 power when accelerating or climbing, as well as the efficiency of a smaller engine when cruising." The technology was originally introduced to the US on the 2005 ,Honda Odyssey, minivan, and can now be found on the Honda Accord Hybrid, the 2006 Honda Pilot, and the 2008 Honda Accord. Example: EPA estimates for the 2011 (271 hp SOHC 3.5L) V6 Accord are 24 mpg combined vs. 27 in the two 4-cylinder-equipped models. i-VTEC VCM was also used in 1.3L 4-cylinder engines used in Honda Civic Hybrid. i-VTEC A version of i-VTEC with ,direct injection,, first used in 2004 Honda stream. Direct injection 2.0L DOHC i-VTEC I gasoline engine. •The 2-litre DOHC i-VTEC I integrates the i-VTEC system which uses the VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) and VTC (Variable Timing Control) which uses center injection system for an air-fuel ratio*1 of 65:1 for an unprecedented level of ultra-lean combustion. Stable combustion is achieved by using less fuel than conventional direct injection engines which have an air-fuel ratio of 40:1. •Combustion control through the use of high-precision EGR valves and a newly developed high-performance catalyst enable the 2.0 litre DOHC i-VTEC I lean-burn direct injection engine which qualify as an Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle.

What are the major differences between Honda Pilot and Acura from Honda brand?

A Honda Pilot and an Acura MDX actually only share drivetrain. The MDX is on its own modified platform. But essentially it is truly a gussied up Honda Odessey. The only difference between a Honda and Acura is price tags. Acura IS Honda across the pond, not only that but parts are exactly the same. You’ll pay 20% more for the same part of you buy it from Acura. ILX is a 9th generation civic Si TLX = Accord RLX = long wheelbase accord (that is essentially what the Acura legend always was) RDX = CRV (it just comes with a V6 that you can’t get in the honda in any trim) MDX = Pilot/Odyssey You will find more soft touch materials in the Acura but no more sound deadening than you would in a fully loaded accord. The engines are the same (with the exception of the J37 used in the MDX and RLX). The transmissions are the same. The suspension tuning is pretty much the same (slight differences for TLX models with PAWS compared to regular accord). Acura and Honda are the same. There is not enough to differentiate the brand from Honda, the way Nissan does Infiniti or Toyota to Lexus or even Volkswagen to Audi. You are not buying prestige and exclusivity with an Acura. You’re buying a very expensive Honda.
