2011 Honda Odyssey in Top 10 for Lowest Insurance Rates

2011 Honda Odyssey in Top 10 for Lowest Insurance Rates photoEveryone likes to save money.  This is especially true for families. Families already have a lot of expenses and most will look for ways to cut spending or reduce the amount that is needed to spend each month.  Big families have even higher expenses because they need to buy more food, gas, clothes, and other necessities.  These big families tend to also have larger vehicles like minivans and SUVs that include a 3rd row, and often will have higher price tags, fuel consumption, and in some cases higher insurance rates.  However, the 2011 Honda Odyssey is one exception that has a surprisingly low insurance rate, and in fact, has been named on the list of top 10 cheapest cars to insure by Car-insurance.com.

2011 Honda Odyssey Tops Minivan Fuel Economy Ratings

The redesigned-for-2011 Honda Odyssey is longer and wider than other major minivans, but it’s still tops in fuel economy.

With sleeker styling and lighter weight than its predecessor, the roomy, V-6-powered 2011 Odyssey with six-speed automatic transmission is rated at 19 miles per gallon in city driving and 28 mpg on the highway by the federal government. For 2011, Variable Cylinder Management, which can automatically deactivate engine cylinders when they’re not needed, such as when the van is coasting, is standard on all Odysseys. It previously was reserved for the top Odyssey models…

2011 Honda Odyssey enters the race for Motor Trend Car of the Year

2011 Honda Odyssey enters the race for Motor Trend Car of the Year photo

Honda’s Odyssey is all new for 2011, and it’s kind of a big deal. True, the fourth generation kiddie-hauler from Honda grew a little in length and girth, though it dropped about 75 pounds. But because the minivan segment is so ultra-competitive any time a new player arrives, it’s a big deal in and of itself. Especially as there are only three volume players: Chrysler’s vans, the Toyota Sienna, and the Honda Odyssey. Read on

Building a supercar is easy. Even if you’ve got zero experience in car-building, you can have your family name festooned across the back of a mid-engined track monster in a few easy steps. Building a minivan, on the other hand, especially for us American types and our super-precious children, is the most difficult feat in all of car-dom. Think about it. After more than two decades of trying, both Ford and General Motors threw in the towel. Read on

My First Impression of the New 2011 Honda Odyssey

I recently attended the Orange County Auto Show in Anaheim, CA. While there, I wanted to check out vehicles that have a 3rd row to see what would be a good choice for my growing family. Knowing that the minivans already come with one, this was a good place to start the evaluation. Upon entering the event, the very first company was Honda, and they had their all new 2011 Honda Odyssey on display so I decided to check it out first. The following is my first impression of the new 2011 Honda Odyssey concept minivan. Read on

2011 Honda Odyssey EX L Minivan reviewed by Motor Trend photo

After shuttling to and from an always-scorching Mojave desert in our long-term Nissan 370Z Roadster, and then spending a few more days with her, I wanted a change of pace. That desire brought me to the Honda Odyssey.

Boy, the Dark Cherry Pearl exterior is dividing, which can be a blessing or a curse. You aren’t likely to forget the side, where the bent beltline before the C-pillar surely attracts glances on an otherwise conservative design. Read on

As the summer fades, so do your chances of making it out to some of our nation’s great drive-in theaters.

But crawl into the backseat of an increasing number of minivans and crossover vehicles—like the 2011 Honda Odyssey—and you can find a pretty awesome movie experience, anywhere you happen to be parked. Or, if you have kids riding in the back, it could be quite the babysitter…

2011 Honda Odyssey or BUST!

Although the 2011 Honda Odyssey is waiting to go on sale, it’s still one of those vehicles that many people are anticipating. Or are they?

Lately the press has been beating this car with a sledge hammer. One press member’s brutal headline read, “2011 Honda Odyssey pricier, fancier – uglier.” So is the 2011 Honda Odyssey headed on a road to nowhere? Or do you think this family minivan will defy the odds?

When a new car is unveiled to the public, the thousands of decisions that went into its conception often get lost in the hullabaloo — along with the identities of the people who made them. Read on
