EXPLORER CAR: Honda Odyssey new

Tom,Gathering at Honda’s Melbourne HQ on a damp Friday morning a group of Australia’s motoring media was met with a garage full of fourth generation Odysseys all prep’ed, polished and ready to embark on an odyssey all of our ownFor the most part the trip saw us pass through some of Victoria’s more challenging country back roads which, mixed with a touch of suburbia, a few freeways and some open highway cruising, put the Odyssey through just about every aspect of family motoring. If only they’d thrown some kids and a dog in the back!The highly-awarded Odyssey has sold some million examples globally since its introduction, and if today’s drive is any indication, Honda’s local sales target of 100 units a month is as good as d may be a little late, but in reference to your query re. anchor points, I have an Luxury which i love, but also have a 2 year old in a child seat, 3year old and 5 year old, both in full booster seats with H harness. It is pretty much impossible to use the 3rd row, we have done so occasionally, with an adult, but its rather awkward. We were told by our local child restraint fitting station that it did meet Australian safety standards to do so, but wasnt ideal. We are thinking about having a 4th child and are having no luck finding a suitable car one that has sufficient anchor points, side curtain airbags, good safety rating, NOT UGLY and room The odyssey ticks all of these boxes except for where the anchor points are positioned! I couldnt believe they didnt change it in the model! Just lost a sale there Honda, but god knows what our alternative will be? The Chrysler Voyager doesn’t have a good safety rating, the Tarago only has anchor points in the 2nd row, and forget about Kia! My mechanic said after years of owning a Kia, drive it straight to the tip, only place for it to go by, getting near to this figure shouldn’t prove to hard an askTorque output remains the same at Nm at 4500rpm, though with a flatter torque curve, the resulting drive
