  • From a Toyota Previa to Odyssey 2005 - 2005 Honda Odyssey

    Excellent feature set - Honda introduced a minivan feature set that others copied, then Honda took it to the next notch. Good Power, excellent 0 to 60 for a mini van, interior room is good, lots of storage.

    This van has been a pleasure. Enjoy the maintenance reminder. The quietness and the comfort.The tires that give you the extra mileage when you have a flat tire. The heated seats, (great for arthritus).Do not use the xtra storage area as it is not that accesible. Glove compartment are on the small side. But the under seat draw seems to compensate for that. The min complaint is the magaine holer on the back of front seats, very flimsy.

    Ive driven mini vans for a very long time and my Honda is by far the best looking,handeling, and safest then any of the others. Its comfort is beyond reproach too. I will never buy any other brand. All others would be a downward step. As you can tell I am completely sold on Honda products. Non other compare.

    It drives great and love all the space it allows! Like most touring buyers the tires are not our favorite thing about the van. But if one does their research they know that the tires are not cheap....$250 a tire. But it does run flat and with kids that could be worth the trouble! Tire company could make up and help with the cost so that we as consumers will not feel cheated! Love my van and love Honda for making a great Mini!

    We bought our Odyssey to replace our 01 RAV4. With 2 kids, it was tops on our list. Looked at the other vans, but they did not compare. Ive seen some reviews with people having issues with their 05, but we have had only one, and that was a CD getting stuck in the CD player. Other than that its been perfect. We are averaging 22 miles per gallon. So Im not sure what some on here are expecting from a 244hp 4400lb vehicle. We have absolutely no complaints about the economy of our van. We just love our van.

  • Odyssey make ownership fun again - 2005 Honda Odyssey
    By -

    After two years, I still tell my wife every time we drive it how much I love this van! Handles like FWD sports car, power and acceleration of a sports truck, and simply beautiful. After two 6,000 mile trips across country, I can proudly say that this is the best car Ive ever owned, or even traveled in! DVD - awesome seating - awesome windows, storage, luggage rack, even the spare tire - awesome. We drive this car 10 miles daily, and 50 more miles each weekend. Gas mileage is so much better than SUV, but just as much room. Remember the old days when people wanted to throw the kids in the car and go for a long drive? We do this every weekend now, and we look for excuses to stay out.

  • So far so good - 2005 Honda Odyssey
    By -

    Traded in our 2002 Odyseey for the 2005. We were going on our third transmission at 51K on the 02. So far so good on the 2005. The 2005 is just as great to drive. We love all the upgrades like sun roof, second row windows that go down, and the third row folds down even easier without removing the headrests. I also like how the third row is split and that there is seating for 8 now. The lazy-susan seems ackward to get to and havent really used it. The double glove-department is an intersting consept. I really like the big knobs on the dash and the shifter on the dash. The illumination of the dash is great, especially the day display, unless your headlights are on.

    This van has lots of horsepower and speed. I love this van! Its unique and doesnt look like any other van. Everyday I drive this van, I feel like drag racing. 255 HP is damn good for a minivan. No problems and I have 28,000 miles on it now. The only complaint I have is its hard to see the gas gauge with the steering controls in the way. Usually in a car youre able to drive and look at the gas gauge, in the van you wont notice the gas gauge till the last minute. Otherwise feels like your floating.

  • "Best Minivan of All Time!" - 2005 Honda Odyssey

    I like the new design they came out with this year, thats why I decided to buy it. Its fuel economy its the best in the industry. Confort level is awsome, and its safe too. Interior design is very modern yet confortable. So all in all a great vehicle.

    This is a very comfortable, reliable automobile. The information provided by display: range, average speed, tire pressure, etc., is very reassuring to the driver.
