Pros: fold down back seat, 4 x 8 inside storage Cons: captain chairs not good for baby seat, plastic plates on roof blew off
We love the Honda 2000 van. We were replacing a station wagon and needed more room with 3 kids, one a baby.
The fold down back seat is a dream and is very easy to put up and down. It's amazing that other vans had not used it before. When...

Pros: Excellent handling and visibility. Powerful engine and smooth transmission. Cons: No bag hooks behind the third seat. Manual sliding doors are hard to open. The Bottom Line: All in all, an excellent minivan, Best in Class.
I purchased my 2000 Odyssey LX in April 2000. My wife had trepidations about driving the Odyssey. Compared to her beloved Civic hatchback, Honda's minivan is a behemoth. With time however, she got used to the Odyssey and is now quite comfortable behind...

Pros: So, so, so many! Cons: Automatic doors caused some problems. The Bottom Line: An excellent family car that has everything you could possibly need right there in the vehicle.
We chose to purchase this car for our family because it's large, stable, and performed exceedingly well in all safety tests. We respect Honda as a durable, solid brand; not luxurious and not spartan...still well styled without being pretentious. How...

Pros: Handling, seating flexibility, GPS Cons: brakes, cloth seats The Bottom Line: Great family/dog hauler that will haul 4x8 sheets. pop down seat is easy to handle and GPS is killer.
Had for 9 months and put 27K miles on it. Handling and acceleration much better than Dodge et all which was a major purchase consideration. Only bug so far; loose front sway bar caused clunking.
Very good for road trips, although seats...

Pros: Sliding doors, smooth drive, comfortable Cons: Leather seats not an option
When our daughter was six months old, after many long trips back and forth visiting grandparents in our small Mazda, my husband and I decided we needed a bigger car. As young parents (27 years old), we almost caved in and got a more socially acceptable...

Pros: very easy to drive, gps system included in certain cars Cons: annoying sliding auto doors
We bought this vehicle because we were in need of a new minivan after our last one "died." We didn't expect some of the fine luxuries though. There was a GPS system inside and had a map of the U.S. You just had to enter an address and it would...

Pros: engine, feature rich design Cons: Sterio
The Odyssey was a no brainer for a Honda/Acura driver of 15 years. The engine size and transmission rules the mini-van world. It was no surprise that this was the first van I felt really drives more like a car. When my wife used to follow me driving...

Pros: fold down third seat and lots of room Cons: short supply and full list price
Honda has hit a home run with its Odyssey van. I owned two Toyota Previas and two Toyota Camrys before buying an Odyssey ten weeks ago. We test drove most of the vans on the market and were impressed only by the Honda. While the ordering process was an...

Pros: The list is endless... Cons: expensive
With a burgeoning family only getting bigger (our 3rd is due in April), we, well O.K, my wife decided that we needed a minivan. To be more specific, a Honda Odyssey. Nothing, and I mean nothing other than an Odyssey would do. So after some rather...

Pros: smoothness and power Cons: lack of passenger leg room
Just got my EX after waiting for 5 weeks. Previously, we owned full size conversion vans and I wasn't sure if I was going to like a mini-van. So far, I LOVE IT!!!! The only grip I have is that the seats need more lumbar support and the passenger leg...

Pros: Reliable Honda engine, great power and pickup, seat features are GREAT, roomie Cons: Needs some minor ergonomic tweaking, pricey and in demand The Bottom Line: If you can bankroll it, go for it. It is a great van for all.
We managed to find a 2000 Oddy EX with 13,000 miles on it and in good shape, so it's now in our driveway.
Good points:
The EX's automatic doors take some getting used to but I'm really becoming a fan of them.
Also, the middle seats...

Pros: Navigation system, magic 3rd seat, drivability, comfort, everything! Cons: Can't think of any!
If you are considering which mini-van to purchase, stop your debate and order a Honda Odyssey! We traded in our Nissan Quest two months ago for our new 2000 Honda Odyssey and we absolutely love it.
We were very lucky to find one with a...

Pros: Love It! Versatile. Quick. Reliable. Cons: Automatic door is slow and unreliable The Bottom Line: We had an 850 Turbo Wagon before, so wanted something with good pickup; very happy with the Odyssey. With the dealer-installed leather it is luxurious.
I am very happy with my 2000 Honda Odyssey. The versatility of the third-row fold down seat is amazing. I often need to transport large items, including appliances, furniture etc. which I find at garage and home sales (or even garbage-picking), and it is...

Pros: roomy, magic seat, comfortable Cons: Color isn't what I expected
After our 1985 Volvo with 260,000 miles went down in flames, we knew it was time to buy a minivan (although we swore, before marrying, that we NEVER would). With 2 kids and one on the way, it's the only way to go. I am a big fan of Honda's and Toyotas,...
