2012 Honda Odyssey, Named to Parenting Magazine's "Smartest Cars for Families 2012" List, Available Now at Trickett Honda Serving Nashville, TN

Online, January 24, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Trickett Honda is proud to offer one of Parenting Magazine's "Smartest Cars for Families", the 2012 Honda Odyssey, at its Nashville area dealership. The eight passenger minivan combines strong performance and reliability with excellent safety scores and a stylish, comfortable design.

The 2012 Honda Odyssey offers families many impressive features including an interior that reviewers say goes above and beyond. With roomy and comfortable seating for eight, including a second row seat that can expand to accommodate up to three car seats with LATCH safety connecters, the Odyssey can easily handle almost any size family. Parenting Magazine also points out the Odyssey's available rear-seat entertainment system, which offers a 16.2 inch split-screen monitor giving the option to watch two different DVD's at once, a definite kid pleaser.

Safety is also an important factor for families and one that the Odyssey excels in. Parenting Magazine loves the Blind Spot Information System with door-mounted indicators "providing an extra pair of eyes on the road." The 2012 Odyssey was also named an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick and received a five-star rating from the federal government.

With car-like, responsive handling and a 3.5-liter V6 engine offering 248 horsepower, the Honda Odyssey is also considered to be one of the best-driving minivans on the market. Reviewers find its standard five speed automatic (six speed on the Touring model) quite refined as well and fuel economy is good for the class with and EPA estimated 18/27 mpg city/highway.

The Odysseys excellent safety scores and features, car-like performance, and high-quality comfortable interior were obvious reasons for Parenting Magazine to name the 2012 Honda Odyssey to their "Smartest Cars for Families' list.
