2014 Honda Odyssey Minivan

What's New for 2014 All 2014 Honda Odyssey minivans feature refreshed sheet metal and interiors. The LX, EX and EX-L models get the more fuel-efficient six-speed automatic transmission as standard. A host of new standard and optional features have also been added, including Bluetooth streaming audio, a Pandora interface, HD radio and an in-vehicle vacuum cleaner. We have four kids ages 5-12, and this car just replaced our 2008 Touring. Honda just does a minivan right - this thing is a great kid-hauler. It has slightly more room inside than our '08, yet the van looks lower, sleeker, and less boxy than our old van. Decent acceleration, great turn radius, and quality interior materials. We have yet to hit the EPA mileage in the highway but on our only long trip in it thus far we had a cargo bag on the roof - which probably explains the 23 MPG. Thing drives much smaller than out is.

This will allow it to compete better with other four-door hatchbacks. In total, there would be more differentiating a future Clubman from the regular Cooper than there is presently. Is It Mini in Size as Well as in Name? The Clubman Concept is more than 10 inches longer than the current Clubman and a whopping 15.5 inches longer than the recently introduced, next-generation 2014 Mini Cooper. It would be 4.5 inches wider than both. In other words, it clearly isn't just a Cooper with some extra doors. In fact, this Clubman Concept
