Review
Now, before I recently purchased the 2017 Honda CR-V, I drove the 2004 Odyssey for a short period of time. Overall, my mom had used it for years, she was impressed with it when she first purchased it. At the time, it was considered to be one of the hottest minivans on the market. Overall, when I drove it, I did not have any major problems with it. With that being said, later on, there were a few things that I'd have to be critical of. One thing is, one day I was going to drive it, it would not unlock using the key, I tried unlocking it manually, would not work, had to call the shop and check it out. Turns out it was a security issue and I ended up getting it resolved. The only other thing I had to be critical was was when whenever I drove on the freeway, the steering wheel would vibrate going above 70 (now that is probably because I haven't rotated the tires in a while). Other than that, I had no complaints of it, it was TERRIFIC in snow and ice! Since I live in Michigan, it could plow through almost anything. IF you are looking for something cheap, then I would definitely look into buying it used. Had no other problems except for the usual Takata Airbag recalls, but transmission gave power when it needed it, and got almost 29 miles on the freeway and 20 in the city. If you don't jerk the thing out, then you will get better MPGs
