MAB bought a new GV80

Odyssey burned her for the second time regarding white paint falling off her 2015. First was their infamous transmission issues in her 2001.

Wasn't the problem(s) - this a mass produced car. Problem was Honda's walking away from what should be theirs to fix. She was pissed!

She now owns a new (for us) a very lightly used 2022 GV80 3.5T Prestige.

Here's our first question: Why does the engine fan run constantly? OA at 60 dg. F.

One of the few, but normal, issues. If you turn off the AC, the car is whisper quiet.
Welcome to the forums. Ask any question, we're all here to help (and occasionally console)
Okay ... (and thanks SG) .... how can we help accommodate the stuff she takes on her trips out and about (can look like a safari prep)?

The GV80 does not have all the nooks and crannies the Odyssey did. What is out there to let her purse, etc. travel with her on her adventures?

Where can I look?
I don't follow you. How much "stuff" does she take? Does she need a rooftop carrier or a trailer? :unsure:
I don't do purses! My wife puts her's on the seat next to her when driving; on the floor when I drive.
Rather odd question. Just look at the car, you will soon see where she can put her stuff. The GV 80 is a big car, I’m sure there is plenty of storage space. If she needs more space for work or hobby items perhaps you bought the wrong car. Maybe you needed an F Truck.

Have you noticed the small storage area under the forward part of the console. If she has a small purse it might fit although it would be hard to access once both seats are forward and she is driving.
Have you noticed the large storage area behind the back seat😊

Yeh - the back row floor.

Ordered some Genesis accessories from the net. Maybe that will do it.

NOW a new issue. She jut picked up a nail and LR tire went completely flat.

No spare.

No jack,

No run flats.

What do others with those $$ 22 in. rims do there?
See less See more
UPDATE: she just found the jack and tire compressor.

Nevermind.
22" wheels are for young guys (or gals) that live for the look and don't mind replacing a bent rim or two. If you live in the pothole belt.
okay ... okay ... okay.

We cannot find P265/40VR22 run-flat tires for our new GV.

What do others do here? We really don't want to discard perfectly great OEM tires - BUT ... no spare!

Do other manufactures do this too?
That’s a real issue with most new cars now. One reason I chose a GV70 was it had a spare. In Australia the GLC, Q5, X3 and XC60 all don’t have a spare. As we do a lot of country miles a spare was important to me. My last Benz was taken from home on a flat bed three times because of a flat.

Have you had run flats? I find them awful. Rock hard sidewalls so they don't collapse when flat = crappy ride quality. Our Odyssey had them, yech. Keep roadside assistance.
Run flats are a real compromise agreed.

What then do others with a do with their own GV80 for 'spare-less driving'?

Is there a place to mount one? Some buy an extra wheel off craigs list. I can't remember the last flat tire I had.
