Pros: Seats 7 real people, looks, logical control panel, cargo capacity, fold away third row seat.
Cons: Front map lights need to be angeled better, radio placement interfers with stick controls.
The Bottom Line: Happy with the Japaneese quality and craftsmanship, Trully a pleasure to drive.
Sporty look. I have discovered what many Honda owners have come across I'm sure and that is Odyssey Envy. Love the fold down third row seat, 4 Captains Chairs, No bad seat in the van, no he's touching me from the kids, smooth competent ride, quiet ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 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 ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: RELIABLE, NICE HANDLING, COMFORTABLE FOR FAMILY ON LONG TRIPS.
Cons: AUTOMATIC DOORS ABSOLUTELY STINK!!!
The Bottom Line: FANTASTIC; I am buying another one when this one dies! Odyssey, I love you.
We bought our 2000 Honda Odyssey used, in 2002. FANTASTIC BUY. We're at 154,000 miles and still going strong, of course. We're fans of Honda; we ran our last '91 Accord up to 259,000 miles, and sold it only because the interior was shot. You just ... read more

Pros: Honda stands behind their product's for lifetime not just 3 years.
Cons: Gas usage.
The Bottom Line: This is a great van that can be used for many things. Very dependable. I would buy it again in a heart beat!
This has been a great van for our family. I love the fold down rear seat. Very dependable. We tow a travel trailer with ours. It does much better than we expected. Pulls the trailer right up the grades no problem. Gas usage is the only draw back. Towing ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 20 Recommended: No 
Pros: "2-in-1" - 2nd Row: Converts Captain to Bench Seat. Prestige. Dual Electric side doors.
Cons: Gas mileage. Lack of a comfortable ride. Questionable dependability.
The Bottom Line: So-So. Mechanical & body problems from day-one. One resolves, another begins. Warranty covered some. Lemon or tired at 90k-miles? Can this last 200-300k-miles? We'll see.
I purchased a 2000 EX in February 2006 with 80k miles. It had some very minor rust spots, which the manufacturer refused to repair (3-wks outside of warranty). I have recently noticed the space in which my 3rd row seat folds into is wet—more rust ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: No
Pros: Huge trunk space, no major breakdowns thus far.
Cons: Automatic sliding doors heavy when broken,CD player stopped working, engine hesitates at times.
The Bottom Line: First model year has most minor problems, try a 2001 for a polished version.
I have this car as a lease that will expire in July of 2003. I plan to turn it in and not purchase it unless it will kill me financially.
The trunk space is indeed amazing, and I can't complain about any major engine issues. With regards ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Quality and reliability in question; American Honda Motor Co needs to keep the standard
Cons: Disclosure after spending for repair
The Bottom Line: Why did American Honda Motor Co have to wait until now before disclosing to us, consumers, that their vehicle had a faulty ignition switch problem?
I'd be very surprised if your working-horse Odyssey, favorite Honda Civic, Accord, Prelude, CR-V and even your Acura were not part of this massive recall. As for my wife and me, our Honda is just messing up in the garage. Not even the alarm is working. ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great van, handles like a car. Rear seat folds down in a snap!
Cons: Light colored interior get's dirty real fast. Some wind noise at higher speeds.
The Bottom Line: We never owned a mini-van to this point and will never own anything short of an Odyssey after this point!
My wife swore she would never own a mini-van. Then we had kids and the kids had friends and poof!! We needed a mini-van. We had a 1991 Honda Accord and it was a superb car so we looked to Honda when it was time to get a van. We went to the Honda dealer ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Spacious mini-van with lots of power, lots of storage space with rear-seat buried in floor.
Cons: In high demand so supplies are short... Very little haggling due to high demand.
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a sturdy, apparently dependable, large mini-van... this should be the one. Versatile, powerful (2002 has 240 hp!), easy to drive.
When we initially began searching for a mini van we decided the Honda Odyssey was out of our price range. We avoided it like the plague. We knew it was a quality vehicle, but just could not afford it. We test drove the Chevrolet Venture, Pontiac Montana, ... read more

Pros: Excellent Design, folding third bench, cargo capacity
Cons: Poor craftsmanship, unreliable
The Bottom Line: It's the best mini-van out there if you can get a reliable one.
The Odyssey is a well-designed mini-van but problems have been plaguing mine from the beginning. It's fun and easy to drive and is extremely versatile. Unfortunately it has been the least reliable vehicle I have ever owned.

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 ... read more

Cons: Sudden Unintended Acceleration
The Bottom Line: Any vehicle that has SUA (sudden unintended acceleration) is dangerous.
I bought a Honda Odyssey because it is rated No. 1 and I felt it was superior to other mini vans. I loved my Honda Odyssey until today. (7/18/2001). Upon pulling into an off street parking space at a crawl, with my foot already on the brake because of ... read more
