The quality of the interior is high in terms of fit, finish, and materials. The 2008 Honda Odyssey Touring is downright luxurious, trimmed in leather and fitted with a navigation system and rear-seat DVD entertainment system. Honda groups options by trim level, so while the base LX is well equipped, as you move up in price, much more becomes standard. The 2008 Honda Odyssey comes in four trim levels: a seven-passenger LX, and eight-passenger versions of the EX, EX-L, and Touring. When the seat is up, this is an ideal location for grocery bags or other cargo. The third-row seat on the Odyssey does fold into a deep well in the rear of the van. The Chrysler Stow 'n Go system is much easier. Additionally, the Honda Odyssey uses second-row seats that are heavy if you need to remove them for cargo. They tend to be scattered about and take some time to get used to. Inside, the design is clean and functional, with the one exception of the controls in the center stack. Another good point about the Odyssey is that the good handling does not come at the expense of a smooth ride.

The EX-L and the Touring are fitted with a new-for-2008 version of the 3.5-liter engine that utilizes cylinder deactivation technology. Under the hood, the LX and EX come standard with the 3.5-liter VTEC V-6 engine that delivers 244 horsepower and 16/23 mpg fuel economy. The 2008 Honda Odyssey hits the road with two engines.
