Honda Odyssey in Denver Performance | Kuni Honda
The Honda Odyssey in Denver has remained a top pick among Denver Honda minivan buyers for the majority of the time that it has been available. While the first generation debuting in 1995 was not a grand success, a redesign for the next generation saw the Odyssey gain in it’s popularity and stay there through the current 2013 model year. The Odyssey has always scored quite high when compared to it’s competitors. With it’s innovative seating, extra cargo and passenger room and modern styling the Odyssey has never had too much to worry about from the competition. It is true that other minivans can come close to the Odyssey in some of it passenger and cargo capabilities, but when you consider the fact that the Odyssey retains the solid Denver Honda reputation for reliability and resale value and add the fact that the Odyssey is one of the best handling minivans on the market you end up with a fairly obvious pick for the whole family.

Honda Odyssey in Denver Trim Levels
The 2013 Honda Odyssey in Denver is available in five different trim levels. The base model is the LX, but don’t think that as the base model it doesn’t still come packed with plenty of goodies for you and the family. There are many features on the LX that you would expect in a more expensive package from other automakers. Power drivers seat, back up camera, digital media interface and bluetooth, just to name a few. An upgrade to the EX will get you alloy wheels, add some power to the dual sliding doors for easy access for the whole family no matter which side you’re on and a triple zone air conditioning that will keep the whole family comfortable no matter what the climate. You can further upgrade to the EX-l and add power to the lift gate as well and get really plush with a leather interior. The Touring and the Touring Elite offer you the ultimate family road trip equipment with satellite navigation and the must have entertainment system for the rear passengers.
Honda Odyssey in Denver Mechanical
In terms of mechanics the Honda Odyssey in Denver doesn’t mix it up very much. This is fairly standard for the minivan class, as most minivan buyers are more concerned with utility and functional performance than high performance. All of the Odyssey trim levels come equipped with a 3.5 liter V6 that gives you a quite respectable 248 horses and enough power to do some light towing. While automatic transmissions are the only option all around there is a bit of a difference when upgrading to either of the touring packages. The standard transmission is a 5 speed automatic while the Touring models will get you a bit more sophisticated 6 speed automatic. More gears means better mpg and getting up to speed a bit easier.
Honda Odyssey in Denver Handling
The Honda Odyssey in Denver performs quite well in driving situations. The aforementioned V6 is quite responsive giving you easy acceleration and eliminating a lot of the vibration that some larger engines can cause in the passenger compartment. The suspension is tuned fairly sporty for a minivan offering you, what this reviewer would consider, some of the best handling in the class. While you may not, and should not, expect to be taking corners in your minivan like a formula one driver the ability to navigate your family through unexpected situations without losing control should not be left unconsidered for anyone in the market for a family vehicle. This is not to say that the Odyssey doesn’t still offer a very smooth ride. As they are wont to do, Honda has found a sweet spot in the suspension tuning for the Odyssey giving you best of both handling and luxury in your driving experience.
Honda Odyssey in Denver Body
In terms of cabin the body, the Odyssey is second to none in styling. While the Odyssey is still recognizable as a minivan it was completely redesigned in 2011 and offers a very sleek and sporty appearance. Leaving behind the old reputation of all minivans looking quite hideous. The lines look almost like a tall sedan. The cabin benefits from some of the body features that you can not see as well. Most people don’t consider items like sound pads and weather strips when they are looking at a new vehicle, but minivans were made for spending a lot of time on the road. When you spend that kind of time in your vehicles cabin you want to most relaxed and quiet experience you can have, and Honda has gone above and beyond in engineering the body to minimize road noise and allow you to enjoy the peace and quiet or your passengers to enjoy the entertainment package without having to crank the volume all the way up.
