We have older kids so the deciding factor for us was the size of the third row. Real-sized people can sit in the back.

The knock on these was lack of acceleration from what I’ve read. You happy

I read that before driving one. Didn't find it to be the case at all. Good, useable power.

7 seater?

We went with 7. Back row has the most leg room of similar SUVs and kids can do the mechanism to flip the mid bench seats

We went with the 2.0 turbo and have been happy with it. Wife's car and won't be towing anything.

I guess I gotta take one for a spin. I have some light towing I would need to do

Idahofallsblue

2.0T is good for 2,000 lbs. tow capacity and the V6 is good for 5,000 lbs. We got our 2018 model at $8k < MRSP.

That’s a good price.

It is. We got ours early and probably one of the first R-Lines. Paid $500 under sticker.

Drive an Odyssey now. If I had to choose a new car today: Subaru Ascent

Wagon

2/15/19 11:10pm

We’ll probably keep the Odyssey with 8 seats.
