2011 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD |
The Odyssey has the best seat setup of any minivan on the market, by a large margin. Standard 8th seat, which is usable, easy to flip the 3rd row, adjustable 2nd row without floor rails to collect debris from kiddos. see full Honda Odyssey review |

Nice and roomy 2nd row, we really like the Wide mode seating. Very nice 3rd row usable by adults. see full Honda Odyssey review |

The seats are still more thinly padded than the competition - and the third row seat angle is merely adequate. My mother in law noted that our Ody 3rd row is really like a standard seat - not "3rd class" - but the Pacifica made her feel like she was "stuck in the back". see full Honda Odyssey review |

This the best point of this car. The leather, from Scotland, is the best I have experienced in a car... And the room is such that my 6 foot son feels separate from me when along for the drive. see full Lincoln MKS review |

Front seats are the most comfortable ones I have sat in, the lumbar adjustment is great, not only goes in and out ( harder / softer ), it also has an adjustment for up aand down. see full Lincoln MKS review |
