minivan segment immediately i was impressed by a sophisticated interior that could easily rival some luxury sedans seating is always a major theme of any minivan story as these vehicles are sold primarily for their versatility and utility starting behind the com fortable leather captains chairs up front the secondrow seats were a topic of discussion among some attending journalists the one gripe i heard was that these seats did not fold into the floor which when youre up against chrysler would seem a lia bility honda engineers countered that this was a question of comfort versus utility and they would have had to make the seats thinner by extension less comfortable to accommodate them in the floor and if you really need to carry a 4x8 sheet you can simply fold flat the seatbacks and place the materials on top good answer but you had better be carry ing a tarp or old carpet as you would nt want to damage that fancy mini- van interior with a few bucks worth of wood but i do agree that comfort should be the primary focus in designing secondrow seating odysseys removable fullsized captains chairs are good enough for any long trip and besides youre probably carry ing passengers more often than schlepping plywood still this row is pretty flexible with seats that slide fore and aft up to 10 inches have movable armrests on both sides and can be positioned together bench style separately with nothing in between or separate with a convertible seatconsole in between ex and ex with leather or a removable console touring model you can remove the captains chairs but theyre fairly heavy and you need somewhere to store them new for 2005 is the onemotion 6040 split 3rdrow magic seatr that folds quickly and easily into the car cargo floor this is an area where seat ing can be a bit of a compromise in some vehicles but with 75 mm of additional thirdrow passenger legroom over last years model nor mal sized adults can be seated com fortably whats interesting here is that the 2005 odyssey maintains the same exterior length as the 2004 but has a longer interior the overall width of the vehicle has been bumped 25mm also in the rear cargo area is the spare tire tucked neatly into the side wall this was previously under the second row floor where youll now find a novel infloor storage area with see expect page 21 make molehills out of mountains with fords
