Used 1999 Honda Odyssey Consumer Reviews
Best Minivan Going
Very spacious versatile vehicle
Golden*
This is the best of the best if you gotta have a mini van. Looks, Comfort, and a little power under the hood when you need it. It's not the mustang I would have if I had my way, but if you gotta have a mini van its GOLDEN.

A Van for all Seasons
We have taken our Odyssey from Pennsylvania to Allagash, Maine (loaded with canoes and people); to West Virginia (again loaded... with people and canoes, that is); to Florida, the Adirondacks and out to Michigan. This has been a great vehicle to own and has made me a minivan enthusiast - something I would not have thought possible.
Vantastic
We've had a great experience with this van -- no problems at all. With 104K miles on it we are selling it to my wife's sister and we bought a new Odyssey van. It's all in how you drive and take car of your vehicle. We used this van on long trips mostly and it performed beautifully on the highway. We consistenly got 27 mpg on the road and 21 in town (unleaded exclusively). Changed oil every 3K miles. Kept it clean; followed the service manual; waxed it 1-2 times a year, and never had a lick of trouble. We don't work for Honda and don't own their stock either. We have had 3 Chrysler vans, but think Honda builds a better van.
Disappointed
We purchased this minivan thinking that with Honda's reliability, we would have years of service. We were very wrong. We have had repeated power door problems, suspension problems, several recalls, and a replaced transmission. The engine now leaks oil and has less than 100,000 miles. Having owned this vehicle, I now know that I will never own another Honda again. There apparently is a myth about Honda reliability. If foreign cars are no better, why do we continue to buy them?
