Overview & Reviews
The Odyssey gains a number of improvements this year. Included with the Odyssey 2.1 upgrade is more power, a new five-speed transmission, standard rear disc brakes and side airbags, optional leather seating and DVD entertainment, two new exterior colors and minor interior storage refinements.
- Excellent crash-test scores, huge interior, fold-flat third-row seat, powerful V6, optional navigation and entertainment system, a bargain at sticker price.
- Slow power sliding doors, dealer markup still a possibility.

First Exposure - 2002 Honda Odyssey
By IlliW - September 25 - 10:00 amMy wifes wants (its her van) took precedence over mine. My preference would have been a better handling VW Eurovan. So far the Odd-issy lacks character at regular driving speeds; the engine, despite its high HP and torque, seems lackluster. Ill put it through its paces to find out what it truly has to offer. On our way home from the dealership a truck on I85 shed its re-caps. A large rubber projectile ripped the front right plastic wheel kowling out. Other than that, ($110.00) including installation, there was no damage, and thank god no accident. In a week or so Ill give my updated thoughts on performance. Reliability? Time will tell.

Very Little Room to Improve - 2002 Honda Odyssey
By iam4ecu - September 13 - 2:00 amHad a 99 Ody, but # of improvements for 02 tempted us to a new one. Prev. issues were fixed (shifter, noise, pwr, etc). We love it! Drives great-real power. Very nimble for a van this size. Very luxurious. Amazing room & versatility. Interior feels solid-many vans feel cheap. Have the EXL w/DVD-no issues w/ the sound system. Watch Jurrassic Park & you will believe! Lthr seats are comfy & seem durable. Magic seat is great. Center row very easy to get in/out. Pwr doors are great. Best looking van by far-looks like an Acura. Highly recommend this van-Get a LX w/ less goodies & youll still have the best deal going!

Cant believe Im excited about minivan - 2002 Honda Odyssey
By sdm88 - August 22 - 11:06 amJust took delivery of an EXL with Navigation. This is an exceptionally well designed and built vehicle. Honda reliability plus the magic 3rd row seat and the power sliding doors were the key selling point. Navigation was a nice toy to add to the package. Had to wait 6 months like everyone else, but was able to purchase through a buying service so I paid invoice and consider it a BARGAIN. Never thought we would get a minivan but our SUV got to be a challenge with our second child. Still cant believe I traded in my Mercedes to get this van for my wife.

Best Minivan - 2002 Honda Odyssey
By JimmyFarm - August 8 - 10:00 amI have heard, as well as read that the Honda Odyssey is by far the best minivan available. After much research and many test drives on other minivans, I have found all of this to be true. Without a doubt, the Honda Odyssey is the minivan benchmark. Anybody considering a minivan purchase owes it to themselves to check out the Odyssey.

Happy van man - 2002 Honda Odyssey
By cinquini - July 19 - 4:16 pmI need a car roomy for trips, hauling items, economical, dependable, comfortable, etc. I researched using Edmunds and other sources and realized the Odyssey was the choice! Had it 3 weeks and so far I am very pleased! It handles very well for a van and is so quiet and comfortable. I like the rear seat that is easy to fold down and have room for our two bikes and tons of stuff. On the road it wants to get to 75 without even a whisper! Just 2000rpm at 70mph. Great car.

Perfectionist View Point - 2002 Honda Odyssey
By Vinny - June 26 - 10:00 amJust got back from trip to PA. Drove around 600 miles this weekend, ,absolutely love my Odyssey. It rides better than every other minivan I test drove. It handles like a luxury car. Best investment in a new vehicle. No dissaponments hear. The kids will love the dvd player and I can listen to cds at the same time. GREAT features all around. Engine has lots of power was able to cruise at 80MPH at only 2,000 RPMs on the TACH.
