"I have to say :"I have to say "I LOVE THIS VAN"! I bought this van in 2010 w/30,000 miles on it and now have 80,000. This is a great van. I plan on keeping it till the wheels fall off. We have the EXL model with economy on the motor which saves gas. I traded a jeep liberty in on this one and the liberty had an oil leak from the main seal and AC problems with under 70,000 miles. That is to low of miles to have those problems. I feel like I traded up for quality and comfort."

The Man Van -- roomy transport, great ride

By Soccer Mom (OR) on Monday, May 13, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 62,000

Pros: "Value, Turning Radius, Roomy Seats/Cargo, Drive"

Cons: "Some road noise"

"We bought this van new from the dealer and it has been a great value for the price. We call it the Man Van because my husband and men have commented how they enjoy driving the Odyssey. The leg room in rear seats and the cargo space are awesome for 6 teenage boys with all their soccer gear. If you have to make a tight turn or a u-turn, you won't even believe you aren't driving a compact car--the turning radius is that good. We have followed every scheduled maintenance and never had a day's trouble--except that the original Honda battery barely made it to three years. All electronics have been dependable. We love this van."

Beware! No spare!

By Minivan Mom (AL) on Sunday, May 05, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 62,000

Pros: "Roominess, comfort. Lots of space to carry items"

Cons: "Run flat tire system, handling, brakes"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 2

"Own the 2007 Touring. Dealership didn't disclose no spare, only run flat tires. Yes, we should have looked for the spare but exitement of new car, etc. Found out the hard way on a trip to Disney on a late Saturday afternoon that only dealerships can repair the flats. Michelin flat is only good for 80 miles, we were 100 miles from anybody. Brakes are a constant problem, dealership can never get them fixed. They make noise constantly. With Michelin announcing they will no longer support their run flat system we are moving away from this vehicle. It does have good features, roominess, comfort. Handling is so so. It is a love hate relationship. Sorry we are moving on."

great family vehicle

By zgina (CO) on Monday, March 25, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 41,500

Pros: "safe, comfortable, plenty of power, good MPG"

Cons: "not exactly sexy"

"I'm on my second Odyssey. Leased them first and bought the second one outright. For such a comfortable, two wheel drive vehicle that has plenty of power....and with good snow tires it does great on snow and ice (even at 8,000 ft. where I live)this thing gets 22-26 MPG. I've had no mechanical issues. If you don't need all the gadgets and whistles, the LX is a great choice."

Best Van Ever

By Andrea (AZ) on Thursday, February 14, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 28,000

"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."
