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.

  VG Overall/a Few Annoying Deficiencies - 2002 Honda Odyssey
  By shuttsmeup - October 6 - 10:00 am

  Drivetrain seems tight, adequate power, gas mileage vg for this size vehicle. Holds resale value better than other vans. Handles very well for a van. Seems to be a very reliable product - I currently have 18,000 miles on it, with no significant defects.

  Domestics dont match it! - 2002 Honda Odyssey
  By Garth - September 21 - 2:00 am

  I have had my Odyssey since Jan. 04 and havent had any trouble at all. One recall instead of 9 for a domestic. Smooth on the Highway and great gas milage. Could use some quieter tires, hard compound rubber Michelins last a long time, and the leather seats arent that comforatable

  Odyssey Review - 2002 Honda Odyssey
  By mjsohel - August 18 - 10:00 am

  We got delivery of our 02 Odyssey EX w/navigation system and leather just a few months ago. Since then I have been happy. But I have also had some complaints: The leather is not as good as toyotas, the sliding doors are the worst peice of crap in the minivan. The EPA could be improved, an Onstar system and air compressor like on the Pontiac Montana, Wood grain panels would be nice, less road noise, bumps,rattles,and squeaks would be nice,Xenon ligts, and one last thing make the entertainment system and navigation syustem available on the same van.

  nice except the whistle - 2002 Honda Odyssey
  By dloweatl - May 8 - 2:00 am

  Best van i have driven. Good power, good room, able to seat 7. However, there is some aerodynamic problem that has yet to be fixed. when driving around 60 mph, and with a strong cross wind, the car whistles (like a soda bottle) constantly. I believe it is coming from the trim around the driver side of the windshield. Annoying isnt the word for it.

  Sell it - 2002 Honda Odyssey

  It has issues and Honda Motor Company does not wish to address them.

  Disappointed - 2002 Honda Odyssey
  By Klem - January 10 - 2:00 am

  Body integrity has been poor. Rattles in doors and wind noise at 60-70 mph is excessive. Would not buy another.

  Soccer Family Tranquilizer Gun - 2002 Honda Odyssey
  By familyvanman - January 4 - 2:00 am

  The EX/L model with the DVD entertainment system is like shooting the kids with a tranquilizer gun. Total silence!! We purchased 2 extra sets of headphones for the back (4 total) and I can listen to country music in front and the kids can either put in a DVD or some crappy Rap CD that I dont have to listen to and theyre happy...and so am I!!! Whoever thought up the ntertainment system was a genius. The fold down rear seat gets used all the time at the soccer fields. When it rains, the back hatch serves as a perfect cover. The only problem since buying the Odyssey is that we had to replace the climate control system.

  Checking on the AT Cooler Recommendation - 2002 Honda Odyssey
  By shuttsmeup - December 5 - 10:00 am

  I tow a pop up at a bout 1900 - 2000 lbs. NO PROBLEMS SO FAR at 18,000 miles, but to follow up on the question below asking about a Honda recommendation to install AT and PS coolers on all Odysseys used for towing, Ive sent e- mail and left voice mail with my Sales Rep at Sam Swope Honda (Louisville, Ky) to check this out. WILL UPDATE WHEN I RECEIVE A RESPONSE

  Better get the transmission cooler! - 2002 Honda Odyssey
  By gloomis - November 28 - 2:00 am

  Yeah I know, the Odyssey has won all kinds of awards, but I am here to tell you they have problems. Mine is a 02 EX model with Navi. My tranny blew on I-75 in rural Georgia while I was cruising at 80 mph with my wife and two kids on board. The local dealer told me he had seen this before in both Accords and Odysseys where the tranny overheats and blows the fluid. Mine was covered under warranty and replaced after two weeks in the shop. The Honda dealer put in a rebuilt tranny. Honda eventually extended the warranty on the tranny to 10/100K from 3/35K. Also had problems with a door regulator, door seal and rear wiper. Look into a Toyota Sienna instead.
