Those who are looking to get a Honda Odyssey may want something akin to the brand new models that are coming out of the factory today but don’t necessarily cost the same as those brand new prices. Luckily, the Odyssey is able to accommodate this, particularly with its 2022 model year. The reliability scores for the 2022 Honda Odyssey from Consumer Reports are off the charts better than any other model year for the minivan, even besting the aforementioned 2017 model by 9 points. Plus, it was ranked by J.D. Power as the best minivan of its model year period. This is the same generation of vehicle as the new one on the market, so you are getting something pretty close to what is coming directly from the factory. You just get to enjoy a used discount price for a much-liked minivan.

This current generation did not begin on as high of a note though, and there are model years to avoid here as well. This is best evidenced by the 2018 model, the first model of the generation, as it doesn’t fall far behind the 2003 one in terms of number of recalls with 13, including for fuel pump failures to faulty door latches that would cause them to open while driving. Other reported issues include needing to quickly replace struts and sensors turning on when they shouldn’t. It’s a great way to start out the new generation of Honda Odyssey.
