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.

  When will the big 3 learn? - 2002 Honda Odyssey
  By Clarkey - September 27 - 10:00 am

  As I turned in my 1999 Windstar to the Ford Dealership I started my lease at, I asked the General Manager "How do the engineers who designed the Windstar look themselves in the mirror every day, knowing that the Odyssey is on the road?" They asked me if I ever considered buying my Windstar off- lease, my answer was "have fun at the wholesale auction!" In truth, had I been able to get my hands on a 99 Odyssey, I never would have taken the Ford. Such is life. My EX-L is quiet, smooth and powerful. At 62/200, I have plenty of space in all but the rear seat, which is reserved for 2 kids anyway.

  automatic sliding door problem. - 2002 Honda Odyssey
  By cchang - August 26 - 2:00 am

  I have a 2000 Honda Odyssey EX and drove about 18000 miles. Well, I have been to dealer four times already. Once was for the instrument panel lighting recall, and three times for the rear sliding door. THREE TIMES. My rear (both side) sliding door stop working once, and didnt close so it beeped like crazy. They have replaced both doors locking part, but I had exact same problem one more time. I also heard that this was design fault by Honda and they should extend my warranty on this door.

  Love my Odyssey - 2002 Honda Odyssey
  By pebe98 - July 6 - 4:02 pm

  I have owned this van for 4 yrs after buying it from my mother-in-law. Somebody backed into the van, then pulled forward and backed into it again, and the only problem I have with paint is some peeling of clear cover on the drivers door probably due to shoddy repair because the rest of the van is perfect. I have NEVER had a problem with the transmission and have never been stranded while driving a Honda. While highway driving and the wind is in the right direction, there is a howl that would make a dog cry. The horn is nice and LOUD and shrill (especially nice when people pull out in front of you and their window is down).

  Super Van - 2002 Honda Odyssey
  By icydon62 - May 22 - 10:00 am

  Never thought Id own a minivan and I fought this one but I relented, now I dont know how life is possible without one. Typical excellent Honda design and quality. Very quick and agile especially considering how large it is. My daughter loves the DVD--just wish shed watch something besides Winnie the Pooh.

  166,000 miles and going - 2002 Honda Odyssey
  By Brian - May 1 - 2:15 pm

  I have three cars with over 120,000 miles and the Honda Odyssey has been the most expensive to maintain in the past two years however, it has been the car we have put the most miles on. We recently replaced the alternator and it seems to eat through brake pads, but no major major problems (like tranny). Many of our repairs in the past year are first time ever fixes. Very nice van still that we will continue to drive.

  The perfect minivan - 2002 Honda Odyssey
  By JIMBO - April 9 - 10:00 am

  Honda has done it !!! They have created the near perfect minivan. I love the duel electric sliding side doors, and the disapearing rear seat, leaving a flat floor. The 240hp motor just purrs at highway speeds, and has great pickup from a standing start, along with operating on regular unleaded fuel.

  Honda Odyssey 8-10-2002 - 2002 Honda Odyssey
  By charlie - April 9 - 10:00 am

  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.

  Happy Mountain Man - 2002 Honda Odyssey
  By rock doctor - February 25 - 10:00 am

  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.

  Honda Van - 2002 Honda Odyssey
  By arizona85715 - December 8 - 10:00 am

  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.
