Milpitas new car customers will find Honda Odyssey not only cool';, but fuel efficient
A minivan that's fuel-efficient and might possibly avoid the minivan stereotype? That's what the Honda Odyssey is shooting for and it's hitting right on the mark. Your Milpitas new car dealer would love to help you take home a 2011 Odyssey, with a longer, wider design and remarkable mileage.
Honda has also lightened the load a bit and given the 2011 Odyssey a more striking profile. With plenty of room inside and a V-6 engine with six-speed automatic transmission getting 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway, buyers will enjoy those family road trips with less bickering from the kids ("He touched me") and less worry from mom and dad ("Gas is how much?").
There's a new standard feature the Variable Cylinder Management system. This system automatically deactivates engine cylinders when they are not needed, such as a coasting situation. It was previously only found on top models.
But those road trips will not only be comfortable and more affordable, they will be relaxing with the navigation system voice recognition commands and song selection as well as a 16.2-inch split-screen display that can drop down from the ceiling for second and third seat passengers. Two movies at once? Not a problem. Movie versus video games? Why not both?
Although the entertainment system is an option, it will be worth every penny for parents making a trek of more than an hour with more than one child. Fremont used car customers will also enjoy the fold-down split rear seats that will slide into the floor. They can be moved with one hand and leave a flat cargo space.
The Odyssey starts at $28,580 and that includes the destination fee. If you want the grand supreme model a Touring Elite with all the bells and whistles, it will run you $44,030. Milpitas new car buyers may want to opt for a price in between and can still get plenty of amenities.
The seats are very comfortable according to test riders and are trimmed with leather and there are five children safety seat tethers if you would happen to be brave enough to take that many kids in car seats somewhere all at the same time.
Passengers will find it easier to embark with a lower ground clearance and the absence of the roof rack brings up the aerodynamics. The dash navigation screen has large numbers and letters, making it easy to read at a glance.
The wide console and large, covered storage area will be appreciated by moms needing a place to stow a purse or diaper bag and the console is even removable if you need the space or need access from the front to back seats from the interior. Very clever idea, Honda, and one Fremont used car buyers will love.
