Was expecting more based on the reviews and am disappointed on some very obvious things missing. Don't get me wrong I don't hate the van; but expected a bigger difference compared to domestic mini-vans. For example, I owned a '97 Venture; didn't have a problem with it (didn't buy another because of resale and '05 being last year of it). I would like to see automatic headlights and daytime running lamps as standard; wouldn't that be a big preventive safety feature versus all the reactive safety features on the Honda??? In summary, the Honda is fun to drive and handles like a car. Gas mileage is a bit disappointing; but better than the Yukon I just came from.
Great Buy

Great van! We bought the EX-L. My wife vowed never to drive a van, but after taking this one for a test drive she was sold. We test drove the Toyota, but the overall options, handling (doesn't feel like a minivan), and interior design fitted our needs the best (two kids). We replaced the power steering pump after 65k miles, but luckily we bought the extended warranty). Great van to travel in or just around town.

Never buy a touring. The cost of tires will rip you. 2 touring tires cost $559+taxes+disposal etc. (Costco does not sell it ) and I have been replacing every 20,000 miles. I do drive only city, but so was when I was driving Camry which used to give between 35- 40,000 miles. Even third party warranty excludes tires. Fuel efficiency is in 14-16 mile range and long distance is 21 miles approx. Also AC broke once ($600), exact same repair for three of my friends when the car was about 50,000 miles. Stay away from touring. Buy accessories instead to make it touring without the expensive tires.

2005 Honda Odyssey EX-L 4dr Minivan w/Entertainment, Navigation (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

My wife and I drove a Chevy Tahoe before we bought this van and loved our Tahoe. We said we would never own a minivan. So far, eating those words has been sweet! We decided to look at minivans since we have two kids. We drove the Toyota, Chrysler, and the Honda. The Chrysler guys did NOT want us to leave and after 5 minutes at the Honda dealership, we knew why. The Honda is hands down the winner. We have driven 1,000 miles and I am amazed at the comfort, performance, and handling. This van will move! Don't pay sticker. We waited 6 weeks, but Western Motor treated us well and discounted over $2,000. We bought the subwoofer, front nose mask, and HD floormats at dealer cost, no install charge
This is one big people and stuff hauler

The 2005 Honda Odyssey EX w/Leather and RES is a true value for money. I love the leather seats, the 2nd row captain seats with center 8th seat and the spacious 3rd row bench seats. The engine is powerful and can accelerate very quickly on highways. The tires and track are wide to give you a comfortable ride. The RES (Rear Entertainment System) being fully integrated with the audio system is really nice, and the sound quality of the audio system is quite good. The controls are ergonomically placed. The headlights are very intense and provide good visibility. The 3rd row seats fold flat and allow you to carry lotsa cargo.
