Used 2015 Honda Odyssey Minivan Consumer Reviews
Too much wind noise
Radio/Nav unit died after 10 miles out of the dealership. The left front corner of the moonroof was sticking up a little. On highway (70mph), I can hear a lot of wind noise from the ceiling - near windshield. The day I took it to Honda dealer to check on the noise, I also got a message to check the fuel cap. The technician heard the noise, but the noise was the same when test-driving another 2015 Odyssey. So, he could not tell if anything was defective. Today, I drove the van with a service manager any an American Honda Rep. We heard the noise, but it was concluded that it was due to the exterior design of the trims. I'm wondering why many Odyssey reviews on popular sites say "quiet"???
The absolute best vehicle ever
I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this vehicle. It is the best car I have ever owned.

A man and his Van
As my wife laughingly says, "Nothing is sexier then man in a van." This Odyssey is the most practical awesome vehicle you can buy. Seriously, why wouldn't everyone have a minivan? Do you really need an SUV (many are on car frames), or a monster full size truck to offset your viagra prescription? Nothing wrong with them, if you need them, but this is the most practical car you can own. OK, I will admit that I have a truck, SUV, and a car, but I am always taking everyone around town in my van because we can't fit anyone in their car/SUV. Eight people, no problem! Car seats, no problem! Traveling long distances, no problem! Tow a small boat or trailer, no problem! On my last trip I had six adults, with luggage, dog, 1200 mile trip, 26 mpg, and plenty of comfort. All that for under $33,000. This is my third minivan, and they are great. I have had this Odyssey for 5 years now. I replaced a battery, tires, and had routine oil changes. That's it! The van drives great, it's quiet, comfortable, dependable, sure footed in the rain, and handles very well in the city and highway. This "man in a van" sure loves his van!

Almost Perfect for a minivan! Still the best in its class!
This is my second Honda Odyssey in two years! All-in-all, it is a great mini-van. My kids love the comfort of the second and third rows. The overall handling is fantastic for a van. I especially like the xenon headlights, sound system and vacuum cleaner offered in the Elite trim level. Honda did a great job returning solid fuel economy of approximately 24 mpg combined city and highway driving for me. The van's engine is incredibly smooth and quiet! Now, my only two complaints:1) The front passenger's seat is uncomfortable for long trips! Honda would knock it out of the park if they would address its comfort! More padding would be nice; especially on the premium trim levels.
Panel Fit - are you KIDDING me?
I bought my Touring a few weeks ago. I am a car detailer and I have my own business. Been so busy that I just got around to detailing/sealant and glass coating/etc of my van. One REALLY notices the small stuff when you detail a car. I noticed the drivers front fender looked not in line with the front door. After checking other Odysseys, they were the same - and I noticed it's from the angle they wanted obtain by having the fender bow out around the wheel/tire ... and they started this change in angle immediately from the front fender/door gap. OK - I can buy that. Then I looked at my passenger side. It's level of protrusion outward is HALF that of the drivers side. They are NOT the same. So I drove to my dealer and looked at the 20 or so 2015's and 16's they had on the lot. The angles and protrusions NEVER matched on any car I looked at. Sometimes the passenger side stuck out further; and sometimes (as in mine) the drivers side stuck out more. I am a BMW aficionado - but my wife and I wanted a TRUE 7-8 passenger van as we have 8 grandkids. OK - going to a van means I will give up driving dynamics. But I didn't expect to give up parts that fit. I have a body shop friend, and he looked at it and said "wow, it's a Japanese van so you'd think panel/fender fit would be better than that". I love the van. But with all the competition out there for roughly the same price, why would I choose a Honda again if they can't get panel fitment correct?
