Question 2

Question 3

What should I check when buying a used 2014 Honda Odyssey in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Request as much service history as possible - regular servicing matters more than promises from the seller. Test the automatic cold from startup — any shudder, hesitation or warning lights on first takeoff should be investigated further. Inspect lower sills, wheel arches and underbody for rust - especially on coastal or South Island cars. Check all electronics work - climate control, infotainment, reverse camera, and any safety tech fitted. Cycle both power sliding doors from every switch. Grinding or slow doors are a negotiation point or a walk-away. Read the build plate: NZ-new 2.4 5AT, JDM 2.4 CVT, or JDM 2.0 hybrid. Run a PPSR check and review WOF history before buying. Compare condition and service records across listings - the best-value example is often the best-kept one not the cheapest.

Question 4

Is the 2014 Honda Odyssey a good used buy in New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

The 2014 Honda Odyssey is the first of the 5th-generation RC cars in NZ: dual power sliding doors, 7- or 8-seats, and a 5-star ANCAP rating from 2014. Honda NZ sold a 2.4-litre 129kW five-speed auto. JDM imports use a 2.4 CVT (Absolute 140kW DI) and, from mid-decade, some 2.0 i-MMD hybrids.
