I love it, but the gas mileage is awful

I love this car. My wife drives the minivan and I drive an old honda station wagon. I always look forward to driving the Odyssey! It's both fun and functional. We've had a couple fairly minor reliability problems (door roller and oxy sensor). Good acceleration, handling, cruise control, braking -- you name it. I must say, our gas mileage is terrible. It is not uncommon to get 11 or 12 mpg around town. Highway is good as I get > 20 mpg. Unfortunately, we do mostly city driving.

I have owned several models of Honda in my life. I have always equated Honda with quality. Not so any more. My Honda Minivan has been a huge LEMON. The transmission failed me at 60,000 miles and I was almost killed when it happened. I have spent a fortune on this Honda minivan and I wish I had bought a LEXUS or an INFINITI instead. I love the automatic doors but that's about it. Unfortunately HONDA has severely disappointed me with their transmission issues. I am no longer a lover of HONDA. I need to find a new reliable brand of car. SHAME!!!

Will never buy another Honda in my life

I have bought this Van and another Toyota auto in the same year, both brand new. I have never been happy with the Van and I had heart burn every time I used that Van. I have rarely used it to reduce my anger and hate towards my Van, and now after more than 6years it has only 25K miles. The rear vent stopped working for years. It makes more noise than a dump trunk, and you feel like you are driving a piece of junk. I will never buy another Honda, and I always advice people not to buy Honda even in their dreams. I will not won one even if I am offered a Honda for free. I do not want constant heart burn.

What are people talking about that own this van are you kidding me these Vans are awesome you have to take care of the maintenance on any vehicle that you Honda demands that you use their fluid for the transmission if you use any other fluid watch out there could be consequences as the rest of these people are experiencing their mechanics are using the cheapest stuff on the Shelf there lying to them saying that you don't have to settle for Honda's transmission fluid and it just trying to cut corners and tell him I'm a pack of Lies and this is why the transmission failed you know some mechanics or like accountants very dishonest people you really have to scrutinize everything they say and do watch them closely some mechanics and safety as hell these these ratings these people talking about their transmission going out as a result of the Shady mechanic or not taking care of their maintenance at the proper time or he'll not just putting transmission fluid back to its level so please people when you make these reviews put in detail messages and tell people what you didn't do and this is the reason why this happened thank you on the rocks

2004 was great. The design of the power drivers seat controls is horrible. Every time you get out of the van your left leg pulls on the side seat console, as for now I have no control of the drivers seat. The trans blew at 80,000 cost me over 3,000. Only really good thing -- The paint was peeling off BAD, the dealer had NO ANSWER!!! Called Honda USA In Calif, gave the VIN #, right away the rep stated that my van was manu. in Alabama and the paint jobs were lousy!!! He gave me numbers and letters and told me to call any Honda dealership. REPAINTED -- THE WHOLE VAN -- FREE!!!! Also like other owners--Had to replace motor mounts at 65,000 miles.
