Used 2011 Honda Odyssey EX-L 4dr Minivan w/Rear Entertainment (3.5L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Not So Mini!
Extremely impressed so far. You have to check the inside out to believe it. They have really nailed this one. We traded a GMC Yukon SLT and it feels just as large.
Great car
I have had many cars and this is maybe the best one yet. I have had 3 full size custom vans and one minivan. So I know what I am looking for. The interior room is great and I am 6'4" with many grandkids to occupy the second and third seats. The car has many tech features and the ride is really really great.

Honda Odyssey is Outstanding
This vehicle handles well, and is a fun experience for the entire family. With all of the added features Honda places in the van, there is no doubt that this is a vehicle that will appeal to the consumer that is hesitant to purchase a minivan. This vehicle has a unique design and styling that is intend to be progressive and streamline.
Good for Family Life - Bad for Drivers
Bought this land yacht back new back in 2011 for a family of four, two young kids. This was my first minivan and I don't regret getting a minivan vs. a SUV - the ease of entry with the sliding doors has been worth it. The capacious rear cargo area has been an asset on road trips and runs to Home Depot. The Rear Entertainment system has also paid for itself in terms of subduing our little guys on long trips. Really, cruising on the highway with a bunch of people and stuff is what this thing was built for. It has also been reliable overall. Only replaced the brakes and dealer did so under warranty. In terms of driving, I am disappointed with the steering feel. It is so loose and imprecise, probably from being overly boosted, that it is not an easy vehicle to control, especially on the curvy undulating two lane highways we have in Tennessee. It does not inspire confidence in those situations - I'm not saying it should drive like a sports car but it makes me feel out of control even when driving the speed limit. I had heard the Odyssey was the "driver's minivan," but maybe that is just an oxymoron. My car is a Mazda 3, so that perhaps that has ruined my perception. The other issue is that the van is just very loud on the highway - wind and road noise are excessive. All in all, a good purchase for our family, but showing it's age in terms of safety tech, and lacking in the driving dynamics available in some 3-row SUVs these days - MDX, CX-9, for example.

Total POS
This vehicle has been nothing but a colossal waste of money. With barely 100,000 miles on it it barely runs and the doors?!? I could rant for days. You have to replace the motors about every 1 1/2 years, just long enough to not be covered under the warranty. We still owe on this but we’re screwed because we’ve sunk 1000 after 1000 into the pos and it still doesn’t run right!!!! If I could sue Honda and get anywhere I, would.
