2005 Honda Odyssey

Best Van Ever

"I have had Toyota Sienna's since 2001, and bought this Honda Odyssey in 2010 and it's the best van ever. I probabaly will never buy another Sienna. The Odyssey handles like a Cadillac. It turns so smoothly when making turns or U-Turns and rides amazingly. It doesnt even feel like your driving a van. It has so much power and when driving on the freeway, there isn't any shaking or trembling when going at higher speeds like I had with my Sienna. I love my van. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to buy a van for comfort, for convenience, especially for mom's with children. I feel so safe in this car, and I know my girls do too. What this van gives you in convenience, agility and comfort is well worth it."

Great Family Car! No Major Complaints:)

"If your looking for a minivan, this is the one to buy! I own an 09 touring and love it. Its super functional for a family, haven't found anything it cant handle yet. It may not be a sexy car but it sure is comfortable to ride in. Have 50K miles on mine and still going strong. As long as you perform the recommended service, should be smooth sailing. As with any larger car/truck the up keep is a little more expensive. Just put 4 news tires on $900 and new brakes front and rear $400 at the local honda dealer. My only minor complaint is the front leather seat covers, for the price paid should be better quality. Otherwise its got a lot of great features over its competitors, along with a company that stands behind it's product and fab resale value--6 Honda we have owned. You may pay a little more on the front end but it will pay off in the long run."

"I've never had a car I didn't complain about until now. My husband offered to buy me a new one and I refused him. Unfortunately, I totalled it and am heartbroken but even until the bitter end, this car kept me and my daughter safe and sound. Not only would I recommend it to a friend, I'm going out to buy another one."

100,000 trouble free miles

By Smitty (OR) on Monday, January 28, 2013

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

Pros: "Never let us down, hauls most anything"

Cons: "Road noise is pretty pronounced"

"Bought it new in December, '04. Ran the wheels off it for the first couple of years back and forth to north Idaho. Only issue was that pwr steering pump had to be replaced at about 25k. That was done under warranty because I'd squawked it earlier. (Local dealer's service dept is outstanding!) Handling is very good, especially for a big box front driver. Road noise is pronounced but its a big empty echo chamber. At 100k it still has original brakes and exhaust. Brakes squeak at low speeds but service people say there's still 60% lining."
