1999 Honda Odyssey EX Review, Price, Specs & Road Test

Could the largest passenger vehicle Honda's ever produced live up to its Caravan-besting first impression after a year of arduous MT testing? Only one way to find out. We ordered the top-level Odyssey EX without adding a single dealer bolt-on trinket. The list of standard features packs the window sticker with so much microtype as to require sept-focal reading glasses to decipher. Suffice it to say, power everything, including sliding doors, is just the appetizer. Dual-zone air conditioning, four-wheel ABS, HomeLink, keyless entry, six-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system, aluminum wheels, and traction control give substance, while the 3.5-liter/210-horsepower SOHC V-6, independent suspension, and four-wheel ABS add meat to the impressive package. Mac DeMere has chased fowl up and down the western seaboard like a speed-addled Elmer Fudd, rapidly accumulating 5585 miles pursuing wascally cwitters. Interstate trips have proven the comfort of the well-sculpted buckets, convenience of the magic hideaway third seat, and overall versatility.
