2010 Honda Odyssey 4dr Wgn Touring w/ RES and Navigation
This week’s AutoBidsOnline.com spotlight on the latest and greatest in the new car market focuses on the 2010 Honda Odyssey 4dr Wagon Touring. The Odyssey remains one of the top-rated minivans in the market and comes packed with features and style. The high-end Touring model includes Honda’s award winning RES (rear entertainment system) and Navigation standard.
“With a 3.5L V6 VTEC engine pumping out 244 horsepower, this is a minivan with some punch,” said Jeff Cook, President of AutoBidsOnline.com. “It has premium audio, a trip computer, 2 position memory power seat and power adjustable pedals.”
And with safety being so important to minivan drivers, the Odyssey has all its bases covered. “It has backup sensors, multiple airbags, electronic stability control and anti-lock brakes,” says Cook.
In addition, the Honda Odyssey has earned 5 stars from the NHTSA for front and side impact and has been named a 2010 Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Noted industry expert David Ruggles of the Ruggles Report suggests, “The 36 month residual of 48%, the Odyssey Touring is right in line with the competition when projecting resale value after three years.”
