Used 2000 Honda Odyssey Consumer Reviews
Don't buy Honda
I am so sorry I didn't find this forum before buying my 2000 Honda Odyssey with 45000 miles. Transmission is "toast" at 100000 miles, and from the horror stories I've read here and heard elsewhere, it is not worth fixing. I am going to donate this (if they'll take it) and buy only Toyota from now on. I was expecting to get 150K miles easily, as I did with my Toyota's, but this clunker fell about 2.5 years shy of that. I will never buy another Honda based on all the bad transmissions in this plus Accord and others. Goodbye Honda, Hello Toyota.
Lovin' my van!
This is truly a van dream come true. I have owned Hondas and have driven them for up to 275,000 miles! This is one reliable van. We have never had any problems with the engine (have 42,000 miles now), but I do have to complain about the doors sticking. The molding sticks to the door and the kids can't open it without my help-- especially worse in the summer. Gee, should've gotten those automatic doors, I guess! Other than that, it is awesome. LOVE LOVE LOVE the disappearing back seat-- tons of cargo room (far better than other vans). Would I buy another one? You betcha!

Hoping for 10 good years
Bought the van used with 20km. Certified so when the door motor died it was free. I now have 65km and no significant issues. Replaced timing belt and brakes and have intermittent issues with doors buzzing and check engine light coming on. Most are liveable issues with a 8-yr old car. It is tough to get transmission into D3 other than when I am parked, but I haven't really needed to do that all that often. Great car for long family vacations. I will probably keep the car for a few more years and get another Honda.
Never had a better car!
The Honda Odyssey SV 2000 has been the most reliable mini van I've owned. It handles very well, especially on rainy days and has been a great family car around town and on long trips.
Great Minivan
Yeah, it's a minivan. But...if what you want is solid reliability and flexibility, then the Odyssey delivers. I have had mine since new in late 1999 and it has only been to the shop once over 130,000 miles for a timing belt. That's it. I have used Mobil 1 and been careful to keep up with the maintenance, which is very little other than fluids, battery, plugs and brake pads. I am going to buy another Odyssey if my 10 year old one ever decides to conk out.
