  • Fraud - 2002 Honda Odyssey
    By -

    I Purchased a Honda Odyssey and driving it home from the dealer it began to shake consideralby. Turns out the Axle is bent on the Car. The car had 8 miles on it. Of course Honda wont exchange the vehicle for one that is not damaged. My new goal is to make people aware of these types of issues. I am screwed. Make sure you drive the car YOU are going to buy not one "just like it."

  • Never thought Id own a minivan - 2002 Honda Odyssey
    By -

    We were looking at the ‘03 Expeditions and ‘02 Suburbans. We could have gotten an EXCELLENT deal on a 02 Suburban, but the gas mileage stinks (13 MPG city). We decided to look into the practical thing...a minivan. I am in my mid-20s, I thought I shouldnt own a minivan, but I was wrong. We ended up driving home in an 02 EXL. We are very pleased so far and believe it or not we got it below sticker. My advice is to do your car buying on rainy evenings because after being told by other dealers to pay sticker plus some or go somewhere else this dealer must have wanted to make a sale that day.

  • MISSING THE CREATURE COMFORTS - 2002 Honda Odyssey
    By -

    AFTER HAVING 3 CHRYSLER MINIVANS AND 2 TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED I DECIDED TO TRY A HONDA. IM EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH THE HANDLING, AND I LIKE THE TRACTION CONTROL (LIVING IN THE COUNTRY ITS A NICE FEATURE) BUT....ITS NOISY...I HEAR EVERYTHING AND FEEL EVERYTHING. I FEEL IT LACKS THE "CREATURE COMFORTS" OF THE CHRYSLER.

  • Dream machine - 2002 Honda Odyssey
    By -

    Honda quality all around. Pleasand ride, slightly harsh and noisy on rough pavement, probably due to low profile tires, but no more than would be expected, and less exagerated than most vehicles.

  • Best honda dealership ever - 2002 Honda Odyssey

    Great vehicle from an excellent dealership

  • Get the best, forget the rest - 2002 Honda Odyssey
    By -

    Just bought an 02 EX-LRES, and this is the best vehicle Ive ever driven. All things considered, the Ody is pretty darn close to perfect: style, comfort, performance, room, safety and value. Nothing else comes close. Ive owned three Honda Accords, and the interior design, fit and finish is very similar, only better. I dont understand any of the criticisms about the "cheap" interior or bad ergonomics. On the contrary, with leather, the interior is luxurious. And with the 8-way power drivers seat with lumbar support, if you cant feel comfortable in this van, then you better look for a custom-made vehicle.

  • I love it, excellent van - 2002 Honda Odyssey
    By -

    Excellent driving, the leather interior is pretty decent. Very good visiability from inside the vehicle. Lots of fun with its 240HP engine.

  • HIP VEHICLE BELIEVE IT OR NOT - 2002 Honda Odyssey
    By -

    A VERY POWERFUL ENGINE AND SMOOTH ON THE ROAD. A LITTLE ROUGH IN THE CITY; BUT FEELS TIGHT. CAPTAIN SECOND ROW SEATS KEEP MY TWO KIDS APART. SOMETHING I DIDNT REALIZE WOULD BE AN ASSET.( NO PICKING ON EACH OTHER).

  • The dealer can fix your doors... - 2002 Honda Odyssey
    By -

    The doors on this van are a known problem, but Honda had a fix for over a year now. If your dealer cant fix them, best find another dealer or complain to Honda. No need to suffer. Once problem with doors resolved, love this and would buy another (or maybe a Honda Pilot).
