    We just purchased the odyssey the end of July and loaded it up with five people and an escargot on the roof full of stuff. We drove down to Wild Wood NJ. From CT. The Odyssey ran great, handled like a car.

    The vehicle handles extremely well. Plenty of zip and amazingly quiet. Controls are well placed. Obviously a lot of thought to the interior which is roomy. Styling and color makes you proud to be driving it.

    We have had this van a little over a month with 800 miles and are very impressed with its quality, performance and features. It handles like a vehicle that is much smaller. We went through the internet department of the local dealer and the experience was very low key. Got free mud gaurds, internet discount off MSRP and free lifetime oil changes every 3750 miles as part of the severe driving conditions with Arizonas dry heat.

  • AWESOME VEHICLE!! - 2002 Honda Odyssey

    I LOVE THE UPGRADES!! I USED TO OWN A 1995 ODDYSEY AND NOW OWN A 2002 EXL W/DVD. OUR FIRST LONG DISTANCE TRIP IN THIS VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY A JOY FOR ME TO DRIVE!! THE KIDS WERE ENTERTAINED THE ENTIRE WAY! POTTY BREAKS!! WHAT POTTY BREAKS?!! THE SHIFTING IS A SMOOTH AS CAN BE NOW AND THE INSIDE CABIN IS SO MUCH MORE QUIET! BRAVO HONDA!! I WOULD SUGGEST THE HONDA CARE WARRANTY - NO HASSLES - ABSOLUTELY NONE OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS WITH THIS WARRANTY.

  • Best Choice for a Van - 2002 Honda Odyssey

    Looked at Sienna as we have owned 4 Toyotas. ODY beats Sienna hands down. More room, easier to operate (my 4 year old can use the power doors) DVD (vs VCR in Sienna) all the same bells and whistles and even a pretty good price. Wife (who LOVES Toyota) says this is a better van. Try it! You will LOVE it!

    Aside from being an outstanding vehicle, the dealership (Rusty Wallis) just made the buying process extremely good. I live and work right next to two other Honda Dealers, but still travel all the way to Rusty Wallis to get things done. Superb Car, Superb people.

  • Great Safety...Lacking luxury - 2002 Honda Odyssey
    By -

    It doesnt look as expensive as it is, and that is a big disappointment to me. I wanted lil extras...but suppose I have to be satisfied with the automatic sliding doors, navigation system and disappearing 3rd row seat which folds into the floor for extra room for hauling things. The automatic sliding doors are hard to open manually even though the article I read on this van before I bought it, said they werent too hard to open manually. I had an accident which did 15,000 worth of damage to the van, yet I wasnt hurt hardly at all. The safety ratings are correct! Overall I would rate it a 9 anyway...guess I cant have it all on my budget!

  • Not what I Expected - 2002 Honda Odyssey

    Bought a 2002 Odyssey.Packed well for hurricane evacuations great space for 5 dogs,2 cats, 2 birds with supplies however, very disappointed. Early on, at 3000 miles the engine block cracked and was replaced twice the driver rear window power motors stopped working and almost as soon as the extended warranty was out, the other window motor quit working. Seat belt replaced transmission went out at 70,000 lots of road noise, driver door lock broke and was replaced with a lock not compatible to key for other door locksrubber bumpers for sliding doors have completely MELTED off the hinge. Am looking at other options for a vehicle. Mileage steady 20/23 city/hwy.

    I just bought my 1st Honda for my family. So far, we are very happy with it. The only complain I got so far, is the quality. For 35k I expect almost a perfect minivan.
