I have enjoyed the vehicle so far with the following exceptions. Inoperative windshield washer ( warranty ), rattle under dashboard that the dealer has been unable to fix, non standard operating noise from right auto sliding door, terrible lease terms - 5K down, 356 / mo., 48 mos, 15K mi. / year

I've owned/rented just about every minivan known to man. The HOnda is the absolute best that there is. And talk about resale, there is nothing even remotely close to it in the industry. Try a Honda, and you will be a fan for life.

I was looking for a minivan for a long time and was inclined to buy Town and Country but during the Odyssey test drive I changed my mind. I knew this is the one. So I bought 2004 model and since then I have no regrets. Its drive, safety, design, space and fuel economy is best in the minivan category. I know that I am driving the most reliable van out there.

This is our 3rd Honda Odyessy. I owned a 1996 Model for 7 years, traded it in for a 2003, which I wrecked (oops) and traded it in for a 2004, which I LOVE! Rides great, has plenty of room and excellent gas milage. I am a BIG fan of Honda's. I also owned a 94 Accord...

Odyssey is the King of the Class: Familyroom sedans. It has way more power than it needs unless you have a boat or travel trailer. For most of us that's not an issue, and we'd love to trade 50 hp for 5 more MPGs! The Odyssey has great road feel, decent cornering, and will stop quickly enough. The TCS (Traction Control System) adds fractionally to road holding on bad roads but not nearly as much as either rear wheel or four wheel drive would. The sound system is very good. The heating and cooling work well, and quietly. The new front seat only seat heaters are a nice touch. The new leather seat covers and interior is very well appointed.

My wife and I were bouncing back and forth between a mid size SUV and minivans.As much as she wanted the SUV I finally convinced her to test drive the Odyssey and if she didn't like it, we would move on.That's all it took. We have had the vehicle only a couple weeks but love it. We were able to get a 2004 EX-L(White exterior with a Fern (Gray)interior for only $26,221($99 over invoice) and that included destination. All I can say is, if you don't use the internet, it will cost you. I was given exactly what Kelley Blue Book rated my trade-in and after the trade in- walked away with the most stress free car buying experience ever.

I love this van! We had a Toyota Previa prior to buying this and thought it was great - this one is even better! We have 3 active,tall kids and seem to always be on the road. No complaints aboutleg room or lack of spave to put their travel stuff. Have taken it on several long trips and it is very comfortable. Has that "car" feel and ride. Would reccomend to all!

The Odyssey has lived up to it's name. I chose a Honda because of the reputation. I have had no problems at all in the 9 months that I've owned it. It's gone on many long drives, including Canada (starting point: NC) It's greatest cosmetic features are the "disappearing rear seat" and all of the cupholders. It does lack some of the many compartments that other minivans supply (could use a good place for loose change). It will be even more popular once they install the split 3rd row seat. As expected, you can't go wrong with a Honda.

I HAVE OWNED TWO FORD MINI-VANS (WINDSTARS) AND A DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AND THE HONDA IS BY FAR THE BEST VAN I HAVE EVER OWNED OR DRIVEN. IT HANDLES LIKE A CAR AND THE MILEAGE AND POWER IS FANTASTIC. I AM A SALES MANAGER AND DRIVE IT A LOT ON THE OPEN HIGHWAY, IT A DREAM FOR LONG DISTANCE DRIVING. SO FAR NOT A THING WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE AS DELIVERED. THE ONLY NEGATIVES I SEE ARE THE LACK OF LIGHTED CONTROLS FOR THE WINDOWS AND THE CRUISE CONTOL.I FUMBLE WITH THEM AT NIGHT. THE DETENT FOR THE DRIVE POSITION IS IFFY. I HAVE FOUND MYSELF DRIVING IN D3 SEVERAL TIMES BUT BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS SO QUITE I DO NOT NOTICE IT UNLESS I LOOK AT THE TACH.

I love to shop for car. But being a family man my options were limited. I looked at the big three Honda, Toyota and Nissan. No one came close to offering what Honda did.The other guys prices were three thousand and more for the samre options. I take the Honda, the quality, the fit and finish and the same ponies under the hood and bank the extra cash to save up for the big screen

The Town&Country was lower priced with special promos like 0% financing and entertainment system free.The T&C typically began needing repairs the first year whereas the Honda did not. Then,true cost to own each vehicle.The T&C depreciated $10,000 in the first year alone while the Odyssey depreciated $3,600.The trade in value was much higher on the Honda.It drives wonderfully.A week after I bought it we went to Mountains and performance was outstanding.Gas mileage-approximately 21 miles to the gallon.Very comfortable, with recessed area in the back that allows more room for bags and other travel needs.You'll be glad that you invested in this vehicle!

Previously drove Lincoln Town Car. This van handles transport of a 3-wheel scooter for handicapped much easier without taking scooter apart to load it. Has better road mileage, ride, and performance than the Lincoln. Am sold on this vehicle for my use, and recommend it for others to try.

This is my third minivan. To me, it is pretty close to the ultimate expression of the type. I have only had it for about eight months, but the quality and attention to detail is stunning. You would be well advised to consider the Odyssey if you need to carry people and things and words like "practical" and "value" mean more to you than "stylish" and "trendy."

I bought my Odyssey using the Internet and Edmunds.com. this auto. My previous car, a Subaru Legacy, had died the weekend before, and I needed a car pronto. Fremont Honda responded right away, and they didn't play any games. The car had just come in that morning, and I drove it home that evening. This car has plenty of power, handles great for a minivan, and the kids love it (althought they wanted the DVD entertainment systems--sorry!). I'm getting about 20mpg in all kinds of driving, which is pretty good for a car this size.

Overall the van is good. Took several trips to the dealership to correct the bad pull to the left. Turns out that the engine was not sitting in the cradle square. Seems OK now but still concerned. The van rides nice. I am very disapointed with the gas mileage. We are slow drivers and still only get 13.5 - 14.5 MPG around town. 22 MPG on highway.

Finally bought our dream van. Researched all the others, chose the best (Toyota was not discounting the 2004 Sienna). Great value, the best design and engineering...it's a Honda. Great resale and safety ratings too. Powerful, solid body structure, great handling, good mpg. Does not have all the gimmicks that other have, just a well engineered vehicle.

The Ford has a couple more bells and whistles like the rear sensors and handling control but the Odyssey has better power, less noise and let's face it... what would you trust more on a cross country trip for reliability? The Navigation was a must for me since I am a Realtor. I own a 2002 Windstar and like it too but it, like it's predecessors has had plenty of trips to the shop for little things... heck, it didn't even make it off the lot the first day without issues. I still like the Windstar but think the Honda is the best choice.

Sure, the 2005 are a lot better looking inside and out, but who's got $15,000 more dollars when you can get an 04 that's just as good. We've had ours a week. We shopped around for almost 6 months. It was between the Sienna and this. The Honda looks better outside. The Sienna has more "cubby holes" and looks a little fancier. But as far as SAFETY, RELIABILITY, RESALE VALUE, and LOOKS..Honda's got everyone beat. Your kids are the most precious thing, and you would want them to be as safe as possible... what are you going to trust? A van that's won the "Safest Car on the Road" for like 5 years now... HONDA ODYSSEY! Has that sporty feel, takes corners wonderfully, excellent for trips!
