Still kickin' at 127k

Overall this van has been pretty good to us. We bought it new and had the transmission recall done immediately within a few months of buying I think. I have had the tranny fluid changed every 15k and flushed every 30k and never had a problem with it. The 3 stupid motor mounts needed to be replaced though at 90k covered under our 100k warranty thankfully. That seemed like a strange part to wear out. Rear main seal was leaking oil and just replaced at 120k. Engine has been bullet proof with just a timing belt/water pump service at 105k. We have been very satisfied with this vehicle.

Everything works well. All controls are in the right place. You do not even have to read the owner's manual except to find the spare tire.

They're better out there (Chrysler)

The Honda is totally outclassed in luxury, road noise, smooth ride. The Chrysler is much better is these regards. Honda's interior is plain stark compared to it's competition. Features that Honda has going for it are a 5 speed tranny and the fold-away third seat. But I'd rather have a full sized spare, personally. Chrysler stands behind their powertrain. Honda does not (3-36 is the worst in the industry). Sorry Honda, the Chrysler wins big time here. I've owned 4 minivans and I can't sacrifice plain interiors and lousy ride for a supposed reliability advantage that Honda themselves won't back up.

My husband bought this van for me on our anniversary and I love it. So does my 2 year old. Especially the entertainment system. Honda is willing to deal and you'll get all the bells and whistles if your willing to negotiate with them. Buy online through this website. It's the way to go. I really love this van and I don't have anything negative to say about it. It's a quality vehicle.

The Odyssey is Great

This Odyssey is the best built vehicle we've ever had. It's better put together than our Camry or Corolla (and they were both excellent), and lightyears ahead of any American vehicle we've owned.
