You'll LOVE This Van!

Jan 24, 2001 (A Somewhat Helpful review)

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Resale value, roomy, rear seat folding down, visibility great
Cons: Windows fog up easily
The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend the Honda Odyssey to anyone wanting a quality built mini van. So far 107,000 KM trouble free.

I have owned my van since new. This has to be by far the best mini van available today. The new models have a more sleek style but the same components as the originals. The car-like doors for the middle passengers are great, far better than the sliding ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Driveability, gas mileage, value
Cons: rear seat access, sluggish engine

We bought our '96 LX used w/24K miles in 1998 from a reputable dealer. It is a great vehicle for hauling 4 kids around town and is also comfortable on long drives. Odyssey is easy to maneuver anywhere and gets very good gas mileage for a minivan. As ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Able to fit three children's seats in second row, fold-down third seat
Cons: Engine noise, brakes

I have owned a Honda Accord since 1989 and absolutely love it, so when my wife and I decided to buy a minivan it made sense to look at Honda first. We also decided to check out the Toyota Sienna, but it had just come out and was prohibitively expensive. ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: no sliding door, foldup seats, gas mileage, roomy and comfortable, no repairs after 79,000 miles.
Cons: drink holders too small, windshield fogs easily.

When I went car-hunting in April of '96, I was looking for a small car with several features that were important to me - good gas mileage, plenty of leg room in the back seat, drink holders for everyone, a convenient place to put my purse, and back seats ... read more

Feb 13, 2000 - Updated Oct 13, 2000 (A Very Helpful review)

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: smooth, seats 7, doesn't break down!
Cons: farthest seat back is a little cramped for adults or taller children, storage area in the back is small

I had a van from another maker taken back by the Lemon Law -- the vehicle had needed so much work that I was in the dealer every 2000 miles for a repair! (the guy at the dealership repair place and I were on a first name basis -- "Hi Kevin? This is ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Good MPG, reliable, quiet, comfortable
Cons: Locking the hatch with the button does not lock the other doors
I needed a work van for my handyman business but didn't need anything big. This has been the perfect vehicle. I get 21-24 mpg. I purchased this in December of '04 with 123,000 miles (147,000 now) on it. The only problem I have had was a bad ignition

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Fold away third seat
Cons: Not as much power as newer ones
We purchased our 96 Odyssey in Feb. of 2000, after owning an Accord for 6 years. We needed a bigger vehicle with the same reliability as our Accord. We have definitely found that in our Odyssey. We now have over 154K miles on the vehicle and we still
