  used odyssey - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By Nik - June 3 - 8:48 pm

  Heard a lot about the noise in the cabin. well try changing the tires to Yokohama avid trz 235/65/16. they are really quiet. but I do agree, that since its a family van, Honda should improve on the noise damping materials.

  love this mini van - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By paseur - May 27 - 5:36 am

  I cant say enough good about this van. So easy to drive, comfortable and roomy. Place for every need we could want. In riding along you can see every thing ahead and right down on the street. A very good view around you . The camera is very big view behind you. Windows are large , the pull up screens are handy on the windows on second row and they do roll down. Dvd intertainment and the satellite radio*and the navigation system ,is the best we have seen. We are happy we choose the ex leather it has so many features we enjoy.

  Excellent Car - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By cmf - May 24 - 3:50 pm

  The care handles extremely well. in the first snowfall, it was above average. I wish all wheel drive was an option. The heated outside mirrors was a big plus. My daughter loves the DVD. the leather is easy to clean. Easy to use fold up/down rear 60/40 split seat. Easy access to third seat even with second row middle seat in. The second row windows that open are EXCELLENT!!!

  Mileage Suffers in the WV Hills - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By Adam from Charleston - May 22 - 11:36 am

  My wife and I have owned our Redrock Pearl Odyssey Touring for about a month now and we are loving it! The Odyssey has decent power, great build- quality, and sporty handling (for a minivan). Add to this a fantastic dealer experience and you get a couple of converts to all things Honda. Although my wife doesnt think that it is quite as "cool" as the 2002 Volvo S60 AWD we replaced with the Odyssey, we are both very impressed with the overall design and features of this van. We purchased this vehicle from Lester Raines Honda in South Charleston, WV and they took nearly $3,000 of the sticker. We also recently leased a 2005 Accord LX V6, so maybe we were given the "bulk" discount?

  Mostly Great Van - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By "AR"VanOwner - May 21 - 9:43 pm

  We test drove the 2004 Sienna, but the Odyssey had the seating flexibility, safety features and features that we wanted at a lower price than the Sienna. Although the Sienna XLE had some nice features that we would have liked (telescoping wheel, fog lights, 3rd row sunshades and rear auto climate control), the seating configuations, locking storage, power and economy, and being a 2005 model sold us on the Odyssey. Still, Id say it depends on what matters most to a potential buyer.

  Great Improvement - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By Sean - May 16 - 4:30 am

  Great feel, far better than before. The interior is very luxurious, and very quiet, and a pleasure to ride in, especially on long trips.

  Noisy - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By Idaho - May 14 - 11:48 pm

  We love the car for the comfort and room. The room is awesome. But the road noise is loud. Changed tires from Michelin to Yokohama hoping for some improvement. No change. Have had to replace windshield several times. Last time they changed out the windshield twice, got new clips. Still a wide gap that causes whistling all the time. Eco Engine always sounds like it is revved and ready to take off. Dealer says it is road noise. We had the car undercoated when new. Nice protection, but does not help road noise. We will check with tire manufacture for any help and also the windshield replacement shop for a redo. Still love the car, but it sounds like the EX is a quieter model.

  Safe and fun witj lots of room - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By L.Cline - May 12 - 3:49 pm

  The Odyssey is by far the best auto buy we have ever made. It handles like a car instead of a top heavy mini van. My husband and I have 2 children and 2 dogs. We can all ride together and not drive each other crazy. The kids watch the local t.v channels or a movie from the flip down screen and, the dogs sit in the back area. We still have room for more. The fuel millage is great for a mini van. The "ECO" mode kicks in a lot and that really helps. Around town, we average 22-24 mpg. We just went on a 3.5 hour trip to the mountains in NC and going UP the mountains, our avg. we 24. Coming down and back to Greenville, SC our avg was 33 mpg.

  We love this car!!! - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By Judy - April 24 - 9:47 pm

  I bought the new body style as soon as it came out. I have had it for 3 years now and it keeps being the perfect little van.. We love it. It never has problems and drive it into the ground. My hubby wants to by me a X5 but my Van is just perfect for everything. I haul furniture around and kids and groceries and you name it I can fit it in the van.. I never have to worry it has never given me any problems it just keeps going and going and going. I love this car..

  I have had many problems with this car. I am on third set of brakes, second battery, hub problems with the wheels, power steering replaced and a broken motor mount. In Hondas defense they have fixed all of these at no cost after I played hard ball with them. I had to purchase an extended warranty to ease the stress of owning this van. I would never buy another one!
