If you are looking to buy a new-for-you vehicle in 2024 but don't want to buy a new car, then used cars from automakers that have renowned reliability records, such as Honda, Lexus, and Toyota are generally a good place to start looking. In a world of rising prices, both on and off the road, keeping costs down is paramount for most of us. With the average price of a new vehicle in the U.S.A. costing around $47,000, looking at a used car, or one that is a few years old but is still equipped with modern technology, a lower asking price than a new car, plenty of space, and a frugal powertrain is a good option for a lot of us.

All 2025 Odyssey models still use the same 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 with 280 hp. Prices now start at $41,920 in the U.S. Minivans aren’t typically the type of vehicles that evoke raging enthusiasm among consumers. However, they remain an essential part of the U.S. market, and the esteemed Honda Odyssey has just been updated for 2025.

Since the widespread adoption of automatic transmissions, manuals have mostly been associated with performance cars.

Honda’s Passport is due for replacement any day now, and now we know that day—well, at least, the general time of year when that day will land (even if we were one model year off!). Honda has announced that the next-generation Passport SUV will arrive early next year, a timeline that we’ve long suspected given the Passport’s three-row Pilot sibling was just redesigned for 2024. It was only a matter of time before the Passport, effectively Honda’s two-row Pilot, would see the same upgrade.
