We had long-running issues with sliding door noises. Not that our experience with the current Odyssey has been completely trouble-free. My desire for that van - a more attractive, more powerful, more flexible, more feature-laden Odyssey - is palpable. The next-generation 2018 Honda Odyssey, Honda says, will be even more efficient.

In fact, the highway drive preceding our minor thrill just last Friday produced a 27-mpg result despite the bitterly cold weather, winter tires, a full load, and the ascent toward the Cobequid Pass toll plaza. Yet the 27-mpg EPA highway rating is easily and frequently crushed. We average 23 mpg in urban/suburban/rural driving, significantly better than the Odyssey’s 19-mpg EPA city rating. With a few steady declines, the Odyssey was able to coast along in Eco mode, a handful of cylinders shut down, counteracting the somewhat hefty load and sub-freezing temperatures.īut it’s the fact that a 35-mpg result offered so little surprise that’s most pleasing.
The gradual descent from the Cobequid Pass toll plaza to the gas station in Thomson Station deserves much of the credit. We did not need to sit on the side of the Trans-Canada Highway in a freezing-too-cold van with little ones spooked by the tractor trailers speeding by as we waited for Honda Canada’s roadside assistance. Thankfully, we made it to the Ultramar with around a half gallon to spare. Fuel gauge? Well below the Empty line.įortunately, from that point of realization until the Ultramar in Thomson Station 16 miles later, our 2015 Honda Odyssey travelled at a rate of 35 miles per gallon. We drove up the Cobequid Pass toward the tolls when I finally noticed we had no fuel. Distracted by a thousand tasks, and presumably still conscious of a trip to the fuel pumps the night before (in the Ioniq, it turns out), I ignored the signs at the approach to the Cobequid Pass that warn of a lack of services for the next 27 miles. I hadn’t driven our Odyssey in a couple of weeks, having focused my attention on the Toyota Corolla iM and Hyundai Ioniq discussed on these pages already. Luggage, children, dog, stroller, front door locked, back door locked, side entrance locked, patio door locked, heat turned down, and finally, departure.

That was clearly in the background of my mind when on Friday, we loaded up our 2015 Honda Odyssey for a long-weekend trip to Prince Edward Island. Thursday night, I filled up a car with gas.
