Lou_BC The fact that there aren't any underbody shots screams run away.Wjtinfwb An Autumn Orange Time Bomb! Just in time for fall color drives. ![]() I understand this isn't about music preferences or what you listen to, but they need another way to keep emergency signals available rather than technology only used by elders (for the most part). W Conrad I only used AM years ago when it was the only way to listen to a game if out doing yardwork, etc.It was not that AM was totally useless in the I3, however it was not up to BMW's standard and they would rather have no AM than poor AM. They also have not offered the Long Wave band in Europe for many years long wave is harder to clean up than medium wave as used in the Americas.Electric cars are usually much worse for AM band interference, hence BMW disabled AM on its i3 model. Earlier this year when Ford was talking about dropping AM on all vehicles I asked a Ford engineer about it and he admitted they just wanted to avoid the expense of having to clean up ignition systems and so on to get good AM reception. GrumpyOldMan I have been in the car radio biz for over 20 years.I wonder if those wheels are original and I've never heard of that brand of tire. Pianoboy57 I'm sure for we Boomers here that our high school parking lots were full of these things.There’s also a system that uses cameras to keep track of what’s happening in the rear seats. ![]() To that end, not only is Honda Sensing (adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, collision-mitigation braking with pedestrian detection, traffic-sign recognition, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and road-departure mitigation) standard, but so is a rear-seat reminder. Safety matters in just about every segment, but it’s often top of mind for parents, and minivans are obviously thought of as family vehicles. This is the minivan for the Accord owner who reluctantly went in search of more space/utility. It offers adequate thrust for urban driving, and the ride is acceptably compliant, though it may be too firm for some tastes. It’s better than the unremarkable competency of the Chrysler. I’d probably stop short of saying it’s fun to drive, but it’s as entertaining to wheel as minivan can be. ![]() Let’s be clear upfront: No minivan will truly be on par with, say, a sports sedan, but the Odyssey is as engaging as these people-movers come. Given how the market has gone bananas between the time of my loan and the time I write this, that $47k almost sounds reasonable. Eye-watering pricing, perhaps, but then again the average transaction price is now over $41K. Pricing starts at $31,790 for the LX, while an Elite like my tester starts at $47,820. The trim walk remains the same – LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, and Elite. The Odyssey doesn’t take much of a journey into the unknown for 2021 – the changes amount to mildly refreshed styling and the addition of Honda Sensing, the company’s suite of driver’s-aid features, as standard. And Honda’s Odyssey is more engaging than the Chrysler. But that’s not always the case – Chrysler’s Pacifica Hybrid (review forthcoming) isn’t a chore to drive. Regardless of why one buys a minivan, he or she probably anticipates that the driving experience will be far from fun. Others do so for the utility – coolness be damned. Life circumstances force some folks to buy minivans.
