« Friday, July 21, 2000 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER 23 B e s t W h e e l s O a k v i l l e Odyssey natural progression for Honda owners (C ontinued fro m page 19) The "magic" third row seat folds down to create a flat floor wide enough to lay 4X8-foot sheets of building material. Dual sliding rear doors are stan dard on the LX, while the EX is equipped with dual power sliding doors. For safety, the power doors will reverse direction if they encounter resistance while closing. The EX is also sold with an eight-way power driver's seat adjustment; AM/FM stereo with CD player and six speakers; steer ing wheel mounted audio controls; auto-off headlights; remote entry; automatic climate control; rear cargo net; roof rails; alloy wheels and body-colored door handles, side moldings and mirrors. Honda's Homelink remote sys tem, which is programmable to operate garage doors, home securi ty systems or even house lights, is standard on the EX. The operation of the two power sliding doors can be done from the key fob or by two rocker switches to the left of the steering column on the instrument panel. There is a lockout switch above to keep little hands from playing with the sys tem. An added Honda touch is an ideogram of the van's driver and passenger profile on the switch and fob buttons. The picture of the door you want to open or close thus is instantly recognizable. In stress sit uations, you don't want to fumble with the buttons. This simple idea is a standout feature that other makers will soon copy. The one-knob control with adja cent readout screen for the HVAC system was also simplicity itself. You can buy a minivan for more than $50,000. But the bottom line is whether you can live with a vehi cle like that that has to perform without fault day-in and day-out and not kill you with repair or fuel costs. This area, of course, is what made the Honda name what it is in North America. It's also a reason why people who grew up with their Honda's are now gliding through life with their kids growing up in a Honda.
