While minivans may be one of the most polarizing kinds of vehicles on the market—with some style-conscious parents still thinking they might as well be driving a diaper bag on wheels—another generation (and a different kind of style-conscious parent, really) sees their superiority and thinks that minivans stand out from all the identikit crossovers. Through all of this, Honda has been holding out, and refining its van, and the 2014 Honda Odyssey stands as one of the best ever—a not-so-mini van that open-minded families won't be able to resist.

The 3.5-liter V-6 that's under the hood hasn't changed; it makes 248 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque throughout the model line; Honda's six-speed automatic transmission is now standard across the lineup. In short, the Odyssey performs like a car, with confident acceleration and passing, and even enough power to take on mountain roads with a full load. And even though it's a taller vehicle, it handles more like the Accord sedan than the Pilot crossover.

Inside, the Odyssey is surprisingly quiet and refined space, with a smooth ride. Active noise cancellation and active engine mounts both quell any vibrations from fuel-saving cylinder deactivation, as well as excess road noise.

For 2014, the rather pricey Touring Elite gets some of the infotainment features that just made their debut in the 2013 Accord—including HondaLink, allowing owners to use a smartphone app to access Aha Internet-based entertainment, or hear Facebook and Twitter updates via text-to-speech. Touring Elite models also get a 650-watt sound system with hard-disk storage, the ultra-wide-screen system, theater surround sound, and HID headlamps. A standout option is the new 16.2-inch wide-screen system, which provides entertainment and can even split the screen in half for two separate inputs (including HDMI), while the navigation system includes Zagat listings and live traffic info.
