Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Reliable, lots of space, comfortable, easy-to-handle.
Cons: No keyless entry. The cig lighter is in impossible location for GPS, etc.
The Bottom Line: So reliable! Great for hauling & long hauls & families! Comfortable! Incredibly good MPG for size!!!
It's amazing how much space is available inside. Takes bulky boxes & large items easily. We can fit in big dog crates, appliances, etc etc.I like the auto side doors. We had a minor problem with a side door when we ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 20 Recommended: No 
Pros: Acceleration, Handling, Ride and Road Feel
Cons: Interior, Build Quality, Reliablity
The Bottom Line: I don't recomend the Honda. If you want a good van, spend a little less and buy the Chrsyler variant and even with repairs, you'll come out ahead
What do you think of when you think of a Honda? A nice, well equipped, long lasting, cheap to mantian vehicle? Well this is not that kind of Honda. This is one that will require more mantince, repairs and attention, and it would make Joan Rivers ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: It's a honda, need I say more
Cons: sliding doors.
The Bottom Line: I'd buy a honda again, for sure. Trunk space is ENORMOUS, car is reliable.
I bought this car new in February 2001 in anticipation of the arrival of our 3rd child. We just passed the 100K mile mark last month, and this car has been great. Our transmission went out at 79K miles, surprising for a Honda. But, in true Honda form, ... read more

Pros: Fast pickup, good brakes, comfy, well equipped.

Author's Product Rating: 10 Recommended: No
Pros: What pros? It makes ya yern for a Yota
Cons: The entire van-manufacturer and all
The Bottom Line: I don't recommend the Odyssey, unless you must have a Square H on the hood and tailgate of you vehicle. BUy a Toyota or anythingelse. But not this.
Sorry about the length, i needed to vent. We drive over 160K miles a year between 4 drivers, so we have a mini family fleet (8 cars). So amongst all the cars we own, we used to have a 2001 Odyssey van. Ex model, silver in color. WE bought ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Storage space, roominess, dependability, safety, gas mileage, low to no maintenance, handling, most everything!
Cons: Power sliding doors are a bit slow, rear hatch door is heavy to slam shut.
The Bottom Line: Happy I bought it, would do it again, would recommend a used one to anyone, providing it has been treated well. This van has served our growing family well.
I bought my minivan new in 2001. With two pre-teen sons involved in multiple sports and all of the equipment that goes with that, our Lincoln Navigator just wasn't cutting it regarding storage space. I was somewhat hesitant to buy the product just ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Rear seat, safety, reliability
Cons: Poor instrument display, no external thermometer, no compass, no leather, no gas cap lanyard, noisy
The Bottom Line: I recommend the 2001 Odyssey. The flop down third seat offsets the negatives I have about the 2001 Odyssey.
I like the 2001 Odyssey, and would probably get one again. I had to add custom leather. The interior is extremely noisy, but dealerships in OH and FL tell me that this is normal. The black/white LCD is difficult for me to read under various lighting ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Safety rating, conversion versatility
Cons: Boxy design, lack of inspiring colors, body sway on back roads
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a good, reliable, second hand van that has one of the highest safety ratings, this is a good choice.
I still prefer the Toyota.
When I was looking for a new van in 2001, I got my chance to drive an Odyessy rather unexpectedly. Most dealers had a long waiting list for the van and there just weren't many on the lots to test drive.
One dealer I called had just received ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: No
Pros: 3rd Row Seat, Honda Reputation, Trade-in Value
Cons: Center "console", power doors that don't stop for obstructions, stereo, road noise, Honda Dealers
The Bottom Line: There are other options. It seems Honda didn't design the Odyssey for real people. If Honda could fix some of these annoying problems, it would be an awesome Mini-Van.
** Sorry this is soooo long**
We bought our 2001 Honda Odyssey in May 2001 when my 8 year old Ford Aerostar (my 2nd Aerostar, by the way) died a horrible, too expensive to repair death. Taking on a car payment was not high on our list of ... read more

Pros: Classy, versatile, and practical
Cons: None!
The Bottom Line: This has everything you could want in a minivan. From safety to comfort to value, it's got it all.
We got this van in April of 2001. We absolutely love it. It is so handy to have. We have two small children, and by far, the handiest feature is the automatic doors. We were drawn to this vehicle because of it's superior safety rating. We never buy ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: more room, more options, better safety, ergonomically designed
Cons: sheet metal is 'soft' easy to dent, cost prohibitive
The Bottom Line: Designed for a mother on the go. The middle seats are ideal for carseats and teathering with the LATCH system is flawless. The dual accessory power equals happy electronic teenagers.
It is awesome! It had to be designed by a mom... If you were traveling from home to say Yellowstone park, where would all the luggage be? in the back, where would you want the spare tire to be during a flat? yep, behind the driver in the floor where ... read more

The Bottom Line: Everything you expect from Honda, plus lots of space.
My wife and I had been looking semi-seriously for a 1 or 2-year-old minivan for about 6 months. Our first choice was a Honda Odyssey, our second was the Toyota Sienna. After surveying a few local Honda dealers we found they each deal only about one ... read more

Pros: reliable, roomy, clever rear folding seat
Cons: auto sliding doors can be annoying
The Bottom Line: this car is a winner with great value, comfort and reliability
First of all its a Honda which means it is reliable. I do a lot of driving, 30k a year and the only problem I've had with the Odyssey ex is the auto sliding doors. These electric doors have eight metal contact that can oxidize and give a false warning ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Third row bench seat that folds down into the floor, and powerful engine.
Cons: Radio and speakers could be better.
The Bottom Line: The Odyssey is highly recommended. It is pricey but virtually trouble free. The first tune-up is at 105,000 miles! The fold down third seat makes it worth the price.
The Odyssey drives like a car and has great visibility. The ride is quiet and the car handles very well in the rain, snow, and traffic. The interior is very spacious and adults can easily get in and out of the car. There is an abundance of headroom for ... read more

Pros: The fair haired van, fast, reliability.
Cons: Expensive, a bit of a gas guzzler (for a honda).
The Bottom Line: Need a van for utility without sacrificing your car 'curb appeal'? Buy the Odyssey.
It's been almost a year since we got the Oddy. They always say the first year is the best one, and it has been. With nothing more than oil changes and scheduled tune ups at the dealer, this van has been impecable. Almost 18,000 miles on it and it's ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good crash test rating, engine with oomph, convertible back seat, Honda reliability, center tray, A/C
Cons: It's a minivan!, gear lever in the way, seats could be more comfy, plain interior
The Bottom Line: I would, and do, absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a minivan. I love the room I have and am happy with driving my Odyssey.
Yes, I will add my voice to those who couldn't believe they got a minivan, but now I love the room I have! I also like that I can get the boys out of their car seats and get ready to go while I'm still in the van - in case of rain, etc. We tried out ... read more

When I ride in the Honda Odyssey, the smoothness of the wheels on the road overtakes me. Much head room makes me and tall friends of mine comfortable. The automatic doors can be somewhat of a pro and a con because when your hands are full, they are easy ... read more

Pros: Powerful, Quiet, roomy, comfortable
Cons: I don't like the look
The Bottom Line: Go down to your Honda dealer and test drive one. You might be surprised.
This van was made with precision and quality in mind. Driving down the road there are no rattles, no squeeks, and when idleing it is very hard to hear the engine. At higher revs the engine can be heard but it is almost a soothing sound.
