Pros: engine, folding 3rd seat, separate temp controls Cons: Tinny sound system
I was shopping for a versatile minivan that was reliable. Owning a Honda
Accord, I looked at the Odyssey.
After driving it more than a month, it seems to be a very good choice.
The part that separates it from the rest of the vans, is...

Pros: reliability, convenience, styling, gas mileage, versatile seating, power doors Cons: have to wait months for delivery, dealers wont negotiate much
My family has reached the point where it's time to graduate from a station wagon to a minivan. Being the deliberate, purposeful hunter-gatherer that I am, I began with lots of research: Edmunds, Consumer Reports, etc. It all led me to the 2001 Honda...

Pros: Smooth, powerful and comfortable Cons: Tough to wait, can be expensive
About a month after we got our new Odyssey, my wife paused at the garage and said, “Let’s take your Catera tonight. It never gets to go anywhere these days.”
Yes, the Odyssey is that much fun.
I’m used to driving nice cars. Before...

Pros: Honda reliability, most powerful engine in its class, spacious Cons: Hard to get - may involve wait and/or premium price
At the time of writing this, I'm a potential owner of a 2000 Honda Odyssey 2000 EX model. It's been about a month since I placed my order with an auto broker for the MSRP (maximum selling retail price) and the wait is worth it for this well designed...

Pros: Comfort, handling, magic seat, safety ratings Cons: Difficult to find tires, more expensive than competitors The Bottom Line: This Honda saved my wife and kids from serious injury in a serious crash.
I bought my 2000 Honda Odyssey in December 1999 and have really been impressed. We own the EX model with the Navigator. You will probably read many great things about this vehicle, so I won't reiterate those, but I will say this is a superb van.

Pros: Legendary Honda reliability Cons: Uncomfortable seating, little storage space
Oh how we anxiously awaited this new MINIVAN! It took us 6 long months to get it. It would have taken 8 had we opted for the EX, but that would have forced us into the flimsy, overpriced factory car rack that you have to take with it! Oh sure, we could...

Pros: roomy,"extra" features are standard, great pick up, quiet Cons: already a recall, two trips to the dealer within 1st 6 mos. (minor Problems), auto doors take getting used to
I bought a Honda Odyssey after my Toyota Sienna was lost to Hurricane Floyd. I have found the Odyssey to be dependable and a great drive. It sits lower than the Sienna and there is more interior room. Its standard features exceed the extras on the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Handles like small car; fantastic suspension to smoothly navigate poor roads. Safe, dependable and relaible. Cons: Louder motor, difficult to carry certain larger loads. Pulls right in wet conditions. The Bottom Line: One of the better vehicles designed today; and truly lives up to Consumer Reports as the No. 1 minivan on the market in safety, reliability and handling.
With trepidation and hesitation I took a risk and purchased a 2000 Odyssey EX and I've never been happier. It was a significant hurdle to jump into a Japanese model vehicle, away from family standards and North American vehicles. It was also ...

Pros: What a fantastic van! Fantastic climate control system. Smooth refined ride and handling. Cons: Lousy radio and no leather interior The Bottom Line: The best minivan out there.
We have a Plymouth Voyager for four years and 80k miles, this past summer we looked for a replacement. We went out and drove all of them. The Toyota and Mazda were nice but a little on the small size. When we go on vacation we take lots of stuff and...

Pros: Roomy and a great ride Cons: have to wait for van
When we first started looking at minivans, the Honda Dealership was just an obligatory stop along automobile row. When the salesman said that we would have to order the van, pay full sticker, then WAIT 6 weeks to get it, I thought he was out of his...

Pros: Fold Down Seats are very easy Cons: Door handle fell off
With a new baby we decided on the 2000 Honda Odyssey. We LOVE the space and the idea we can seperate or put together the 2nd row captains chairs and the third row folds very easily into the floor! It provides a smooth ride---but watch the speeding...

Pros: Everything, except Cons: stereo just ok, tape player is optional
My wife and I drive a van because we have not, not because we want to. The reason: Three children and a dog. Our first and previous minivan was the 77 Dodge Grand Caravan LE, which we we fairly happy with, but does not come close to the level of...

Pros: WE can do it all with this van Cons: its a minivan
Well we never thought we would hit the days when we would need a minivan, In fact my husband said he would never have one. Well we just had our second child, and bought a house. Having two sedans just didn't seem to work anymore. Couldn't pick up...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Reconfigurable seating, power doors, drives well, super quality Cons: It's a minivan. Power doors took a couple of days to learn.
We bought an Odyssey to replace a 1987 Volvo 740, as we found our sedan overburdened by the taxi and hauling demands of our growing family. It doesn't have the oomph our Volvos have, but the space is heavenly. Reconfigurable seating makes the Odyssey...
