2001 Honda Odyssey

Reliable and Family Oriented

By winedogs (PA) on Thursday, April 05, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 81,000

Pros: "Breaking and acceleration"

Cons: "It's still a minivan"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"A minivan is not my dream car. But, it is perfect for tail gating, hauling my three kids to all their activities, etc... Nice pick up merging onto the highway and really like the responsive breaking. Have not had to put any additional money into the vehicle except the usual brakes, tires, filters, and oil changes."

Fun, reliable and roomy

By tekkie (MT) on Wednesday, April 04, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 100,000

Pros: "Good paint job, fun to drive, great handling/roomy"

Cons: "Fast wearing engine mounts"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"We purchased the Odyssey EX used in 2004 from a Honda dealership. The van has been completely reliable in all the years we've owned it. We haven't had any transmission problems to date, but we have made sure to follow up on all recalls regarding airbags and seat belts. The one big surprise at the 100,000 mile tune-up was that two engine mounts need to be replaced. We keep expecting to run into the transmission problem, but perhaps we lucked out (or perhaps it's doing OK because it was originally a Honda fleet vehicle). Only time will tell. Otherwise, the engine is running beautifully and we couldn't be more pleased with this van. It has great pickup and superb handling/cornering."
