My 2004 Honda Odyssey is the best car I've ever owned! Since we bought the van in 2004 it has taken us on many fun adventures and never let us down! I never hesitate to take this car anywhere. Original engine and transmission and the van is 14 years old. I very highly recommend this van! Such a fun car to own!

A minivan that is anything but mini!

This vehicle has provided an exemplary ride for its entire life. Plenty of seating for 7. Great cargo room. Fairly smooth ride. Some road noise but not at all intrusive. My only negative is driving in snow, the traction is too sensitive, causing the vehicle to feel like it is towing a heavy weight. With 2-4 inches of snow i would turn traction control off.

Read before buying '04 Odyssey

I think you are about to see the rating of the '04 Odyssey plunge. We had an accident that resulted in our '04 Odyssey with 70,000 miles being totaled. We were so happy with the van that we went out and bought another '04 just like it, except it had a few more miles on it. 10 days after purchase the D light starts flashing, turns out it is a transmission problem. I do some research on the internet and there are HUNDREDS of posts showing that TRANSMISSION FAILS at 80,000 - 100,000 miles. There was actually a recall on the tranny for some '04 models, but those that were not included in the class action lawsuit or out of luck. Honda has refused to stand behind there faulty transmission!

You MUST follow the scheduled maintenance of the transmission... which means drain and fill EVERY 40,000 miles. People let it go, then wonder why the tranny fails?

A Mixed Bag

Bought the Odyssey while stationed overseas and brought it home with high hopes and initial satisfaction. While cavernous, easy to drive, powerful and full of many great features such as power doors and dual air, reliability is becoming a concern as it reaches 80K miles. Paint has peeled twice and dealers have not been receptive to repairing the damage in our area. Left sliding door continuously needs grease to quiet the chatter. Oil changes are a bear. A/C filter changes, too. CD player died. Clock's light went dark. CD and clock are very expensive to replace. Overall, a disappointment; can't recommend it any longer and won't be buying another Honda :( This is a "Monday" car, for sure.
