Your author has spent many miles in many minivans, crossing the country once in the second-generation Honda Odyssey and owning a Toyota Sienna in a former life. Granted, I drove the redesigned 2005 Honda Odyssey about 60 miles, ten of which covered the twists and turns of one of the most beautiful racecourses in America. But more important, I rode in the new Odyssey for nearly 100 miles, and I paid special attention to the features that parents look for in such a vehicle.

With few exceptions, Honda has not only hit the bull’s eye with the 2005 Odyssey, but it has moved the target higher than any competitor has ever aimed. After losing the crown for scarcely a year, the 2005 Honda Odyssey is once again the benchmark against which all minivans must be measured.
