She loves the van

My wife had gone on record as saying she would never drive a minivan. Three kids later she's driving the Odyssey and loves it. The interior is extremely versatile and great room for the kids, their friends and all of the accumulated stuff. We've had it on several trips and it's performed great with just over 25 mpg on the highway and around 19-20 around town. The seats are comfortable and it drives more like a car than most vans and handles surprisingly well. It does have a lot of wind noise, primarily from the front passengers seat, but we just turn the radio up. The breaks are softer than what I'd prefer but not to the point of feeling like we're in danger. My wife's glad we bought it.
Happy but mpg terrible

So far we've put 2K miles on the van and are very happy with our purchase. The van interior is fantastic with very nice leather and dvd system. It drives more like a sports car/van rather than a floaty minivan. Overall we are very happy except for the fact that it has been getting between 12 and 14 mpg in the city and 17 on the highway. Both my wife and I drive very conservatively and even more so with the gas mileage. Mpg has improved some but we're no way close to the 25 hwy. If it does not improve we will be taking it in for service. Also, transmission does not allow van to coast and slows speed at 40 mph and under.

Overall, it's a great car. Already over 1000 miles on it. Works like a champ and drives great. Be sure to buy it without PAX/Runflats. We waited for '08 so we could get normal all season radials. Went through Costco buying program, cost $37,500 (500 over invoice)
Either the van or dealership not up to par

I payed 8 grand in 2021 not quite 1 yr ago and the dealership i bought it from agreed to replace broken fog lights included in price then 5 months later when they did fix fog lights they didnt put new clips in to hold up bottom plastic while at dealership i asked about gps map giving wrong date and time it said 2001 or 2002 they told me that honda was aware of the problem and would have a fix by august here it is august and it says 2003 so its only 5yrs. Befor the van was even made according to gps map. Because of that im not sure if its the dealership or van itself but in 10 months i have had to replace $300 alternator glove box wouldnt open due to loose screws and plastic cover to it moving out of place which would also cause glove box light to continuously go on and off keep in mind all this started after very expensive and hard to get to to replace alternator replacement and a plastic panel thing in front passenger side seems to keep coming loose and on occasion it seams like the transmission isnt catching quite right. I bought this van because reviews said it was basicly one of 2 vans that went over 200000 miles with no problem mine had 191??? Miles when i bought it i fiured i should let people know it may go over 200000 miles but not by much. Befor expensive repairs. So here it is august 2023 and gps date says 2004 still no fix imagine that.
