The 2010 Odyssey is the ultimate car for the family! The Odyssey comes in the LX, the EX, the EX-L, and Touring models. This car definitely makes the appropriate accommodations for spacing on the inside as the second row bucket seats and third row seats fold flat into a cargo-storage area in the floor. Need even more room? Also as a space saver, there are removable jump seats that slot in-between the second row pockets for a passenger capacity of eight. The car has a lot of cool new features including leather upholstery, tri-zone climate control, a sunroof, XM® Radio, Honda DVD Rear Entertainment System, and a Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ also with voice recognition and a rearview camera ( for those hard to back into areas). The new Odyssey also has a Homelink® remote system, Bluetooth® capabilities, a rearview mirror with rearview camera display, and as stated before, one-motion 60/40 split third-row Magic Seat® with in-floor storage.
Honda also decided to upgrade the Odyssey under the hood with cool new features. The car has a 3.5 Liter SOHC VTEC® V-6 engine with a 5 speed automatic transmission that produces 244horsepower. This engine is standard across the board, along with a Drive-by-Wire™ throttle system. However, exclusive to the EX-L and Touring versions, the car comes with Honda's Variable Cylinder Management™ (VCM®), which increases fuel economy.
The most impressive of the 2010 Odyssey is by far its Safety features. These key features include, Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control, an Anti-lock braking system, Electronic Brake Distribution, and driver's/front passenger's active head restraints. The car also has a plethora of airbag safety systems like, the dual-stage multiple-threshold front airbags, front side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System, and three-row side curtain airbags with rollover sensors. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tested the cars frontal and side impact crash results and in conclusion gave the car 5-star frontal and side ratings.
