  Great van, disappointing MPG - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By Pete - September 15 - 10:56 am

  I love everything about this van with the exception of the gas mileage. We expected 19-20 around town and we get 15-16 mpg. We sold our 03 Pilot to have more room for family etc and the bonus of better gas mileage. Even with the VCM technology, the best mileage weve gotten is 16.5 mpg in town. We took a trip to Disneyland and got around 22mpg on the road. These numbers are completely different than what is on the sticker. That is my only gripe with this van. Overall, its the best van on the road.

  New Oddysey vs. new Audi S4 convertible - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By Fonda the Honda - September 2 - 9:53 pm

  I picked up my 05 Black ext./Ivory int. w/DVD and Navi. the same week I bought an Audi S4 Convertible costing twice the price. Apples to oranges 100%, but I like driving the new van as much as I do my new 350 h.p supercar. I came off lease of a 2003 Pilot to go into the Van, and had the 1999 Oddysey before that. This van is sweet. Black + Honda trailer hitch give it a great presence, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. The nine inch DVD is awesome, and the Navi system is easy after studying the how to manual. Dont waste your time shopping for another minivan.- this is the one.

  Superb Design in a minivan! - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By Ali - September 1 - 1:20 pm

  I chose the Ex over touring because I didnt like the price of a new set of pax tires, and I wanted the optional seat in the middle on 2nd row. Granddaughter loves to sit in front of the DVD player. DVD is a must from now on! Van handles well on the road, and cruise control never fluctuates on hills. Seats fold very easily for more cargo space. The nav. system is awsomely amazing! Its capabilities seem endless. It was well worth the money. Standard roof rails are nice, but almost senseless without the cross bars. The sunroof is refreshing at times, although I would opt for other features instead, like fog lights, automat lights, or auto tailgate closing. Auto side doors are great too!

  Rusted Catalytic Conveter - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By alev - August 29 - 11:50 am

  This was our third Honda but we are very disappointed. We started to hear noises just before the warranty ended, when we took it they changed one of the catalytic converters and we still have the noise. It is out of warranty. They said all the converters rusted. Never will buy Honda again. You pay $35 K and it rusts in 3 years. Why pay that much?

  Love it! - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By Lynn - August 20 - 7:33 am

  I love my Odessey. I traded from a Chrysler Town & Country. The Oddessey is so much more versatile as far as seating goes. I have a 4 and 7 year old. The DVD is great! Easy to use and the remote is priceless! The dual auto sliding doors make entry and exit for my children effortless.

  great minivan so far - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By ryan young - August 16 - 12:06 pm

  bought this one for $400 over invoice. this thing has more bells and whistles than one can ever realistically use. more things to appeal to people, but more things to break, i guess. this is a really beautiful minivan is there ever was one. adjustable pedals are a great help. power is adequate for most situations. handling is good for a minivan. it really does drive like a car. visibility is great. ride is relatively smooth and quiet. all seats are extremely comfortable to sit in. build quality in interior could probably be a little better (some noises on rough roads). dvd is a great occupier of the kids. lots of storage space and cupholders.

  Sorry Honda lovers, our last van - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By Last Honda Van - August 7 - 1:17 pm

  We were originally so excited to trade our SUV and get one when they first came out. However, we are quite over the extreme cabin noise (dealer will say it is tires, but we changed to no avail), steering squeals, brake grinding and shimmy, and easily marred bumpers. #1 is noise - both the "roar" when we drive and loud squeals from turning. Wife, who once loved it, now cannot wait to trade it as the DVD volume has to be 20+ to cover the roar. Dealer serviced since day 1, they seem to resist really trying to seek out the issue. Thankfully we bought an extended warranty as otherwise all of service efforts on these issues would be out of our pocket. FYI - No loaners car for service on $31K van.

  Awesome! - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By Ryan - August 3 - 7:20 pm

  Fun to drive, Features to LIVE for! Not much neogotiating power, too new and in demand. Forget about finding one with DVD/Navigator.

  66,000 Miles and Still Love It - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By Paceguy - August 1 - 9:31 pm

  We bought our Odyssey over three years ago and still like it as much as we did on day one. Its my wifes daily driver and with the nav. and DVD etc. the guys and gals she works with have her drive to lunch whenever they go out (even give her unsolicited gas money) because they like playing with the gadgets and its really comfortable. With three kids ranging from 14 to 7, the long summer driving trips weve taken over the years have been a pleasure. We both like driving it and reliability has been typical Honda excellence. Just got back from a 2400 mile round trip summer vacation where we rolled over 66k--again, nothing but super review from us!
