| 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 |
| 2011 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 6-speed automatic FWD |
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 |

| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
My right knee/upper calf hits on the side of the console and sometimes gets irritated. The edge of the silver plastic portion could have been designed different/better. see full Toyota Corolla review |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Car was too confined for 3 tall pre teen kids/8/11/12 years old. Not enough leg nor shoulder room, Wife and myself near 6ft tall see full Toyota Corolla review |

Non existent, adults should not use the rear seats. Could be used as punishment for criminals. see full Toyota Corolla review |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
We would have never got rid of the Corolla, but we had a baby and the rear facing car seat made the front seat occupants seat too far forward, close to the dash, to make the seat fit.The car seat made driving very uncomfortable see full Toyota Corolla review |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Front seat room was great, as long as the seats were able to be near the back of their travel. When we had to move the front seats forward for a car seat to fit in the back, it made it too uncomfortable see full Toyota Corolla review |
