  • second time around - 2005 Honda Odyssey

    This is my second one. We got the 99 sight unseen and got this one same way. This thing drives very good, It puts my ML500 to shame on handling. Had a whistle type wind noise. Took 3 visits to Team Honda to get it fixed, No problem they gave me loaner car just like the MB dealers.

    What a great minivan! Smooth, quiet, powerful. Extraordinary reliability! Nicely designed. Chrysler/Dodge cant compare!

    This is the second Odyssey weve owned. The first one was a 2000, and we traded it with about 69,000 miles on it. It performed as it had when new. There were no extra sounds eminating from it. The 2005 model has a few squeaks and a whistling sound that the dealer is unable to fix.

    Service not up to par-----for the money should come with more features.Steering wheel should telescope. No center console, directional signals have no warning or enough sound when on and I could go on and on.$500 for a trailer hitch??????

  • Minivans have changed - 2005 Honda Odyssey
    By -

    The first thing that you notice is the improved looks, best among minivans (in my opinion). Then you jump in the drivers seat and experience a great drive. Yes, its still a minivan, but a great minivan. Along with the smooth ride, the Odyssey has great function. Limiting standard features and some options on some models is frustrating but overall we are very happy. You can get some options, such as the auto-dim mirrow with compass through the dealership. We were fortunate enough to get a little off of MSRP and have a few accessories thrown in. I didnt like the beige interior much, but kind of wish we had chosen it over the gray. The gray interior is kind of monotone, boring.

  • Great Van for the money - 2005 Honda Odyssey
    By -

    We shopped Toyota and Honda. After driving both we noticed the power difference in the Honda. We really liked the styling of the Odyssey, especially the chrome on the front grille and around the windows. The Sienna was a bit more refined but the Odyssey was just plain fun to drive. This van has no trouble getting onto to major highways, the engine supplies plenty of power. You feel in touch with the road. Honda makes the option packages simple, we wanted leather and dvd, just had to find a dealer with the color we wanted at our price. It was difficult to find a Sienna XLE with Leather and DVD would be installed at dealer.

  • Good engine - suspect build quality - 2005 Honda Odyssey
    By -

    The initial build quality is disappointing with lots of rattles, squeaks and brake noise. I had to go the dealer two times to resolve these initial problems. Honda needs to pay more attention to initial build quality and testing. Dont they drive the vehicle outside the factory before sending it to the dealer?

  • Its OK - 2005 Honda Odyssey
    By -

    This Honda has been OK. To many small warranty items. Elasped time computer is not programmed logically. Radio is not the quality I was expecting.

  • My 4 Year old picked it out! - 2005 Honda Odyssey
    By -

    My 4 yr old son picked out this van-- he liked the larger screen for the DVD- the comfy headphones-- I enjoyed the quieter road noise, the 8th seat (my son didnt like sitting all the way in the back)- easier to use fold down seats-- I love everything about this van!
