  Everything OK But the Dash Display - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By norbtuc - March 24 - 10:00 pm

  Handles very well for its size. Drove Missouri curves like it thought it was a sports sedan. But the dash display fades out on bright days. The KPH scale and the intermediate tic marks on the speedometer disappear. If you were in Canada, you would have to drive at night to see how fast you were going in KPH. Faulty engineering for the glove box which everyone complains about....doesnt close properly and it cant be fixed. Comparing it against the market, my wife and I still believe we made the right decision on getting the Honda Odyssey Touring minivan.

  Best Van - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By Odyssey Rocks - March 2 - 3:20 am

  Traded in my 2000 Odyssey and bought a 2005. The improvements are remarkable especially its quiter cabin, controls, features & the torque+horsepower. Also test driven a 05 Sienna. Didnt get the responsiveness while driving and the interior seemed dull. Steering handling wasnt as impressive either. Took our first trip to Houston, TX and Im looking forward to many road trips in future. My van drove just like a car and kids really enjoyed the trip. We drove almost 440 miles on a full tank. I wish city gas mileage was little better. I wouldnt trade this van for anything else. We have 8 seats too! Looking forward to many years of reliability and fun driving experience. Go Odyssey!!!

  The Van is Great - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By pat - February 26 - 2:59 pm

  Went looking for a 2004 EX Ody due to high CR ratings. Test drove 3 & found huge range of ride quality. Test drove three 2005s w/similar mileage and all had same ride quality - vastly superior to 2004. Previously purchased high mileage 99 Ody that served us well - despite installing 2 trannys at warranty expense. Wrecked it in January & bought the 2005. Incredible ride, handling, quiet, features, kids and wife absolutely love it.

  awesomeodessey - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By !!!!!yeah!!! - February 24 - 12:50 am

  We just bought our 2005 Oddessey van a few days ago, but I just cant believe how awesome this minivan is. Traded in our 2002 Mercury Villager Sport-no comparison! Always heard the Oddessey was the best, and its absolutely true! We did get $$ off of sticker and the dealership made this purchase a pleasure. So much fun to drive and you can feel the quality the second you sit in it. I did my shopping and test drove all of them, and by far Honda is the best. I love my van!!!

  Wait and Se - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By P.McMillan - February 14 - 1:26 pm

  Totaled our 1999 Ody of 3.5years in Jan 08. Test drove 3 potential used 2004 replacements at local Honda dealership. Ride quality ranged hugely. Tried three (50K)2005s and we were hooked. If 2004 was 8 on 0-10 scale, 2005 was 10. Similarity of ride between the 3 2005s identical. Have had the 2005 EX a week now. Interior comfort styling, function is TOPS. Well taken care of by prev owner - all dealership maintenances. Steering pump and reservoir, brake pads, windsheild reglued by warranty under prev owner. Stereo increadible although old tech in no MP3/Ipod capable. Roomy, lush, quite tight ride, all power. Great van buy thus far - will advise later.

  Traveling - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By Traveling - December 31 - 3:10 am

  I have had 2 Dodge Caravans and a Chevrolet Trailblazer in the last 20 years. This vehicle is the best so far in almost all respects. Im 3000 miles into a 6000 mile road trip and the comfort provided by the van is excellent wheather

  Happy...overall BUT... - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By C - December 16 - 1:33 pm

  I love My Odyssey...and it is the 2nd one we have owned...the body style looks great...and the new "split 3rd row" is very handy...The TV is nice...It took me a while to figure out all of the electronic buttons.... We are happy overall... but it has several annoying rattles.... a strange zipping sensation in the pedal when you put the van in drive and accelerate for the first time on EVERY a trip. I have to use one of the many cup holders to hold change... being that there is no ash tray or change compartment... head set for TV does not work all the time in the 3rd row... I wish the window lock did not lock the drivers window controls..

  Proud Owner of a 2005 Honda Odyssey - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By pebbles93065 - November 23 - 5:10 pm

  Recently my husband and I felt that it was time to trade-in our 2002 Honda Odyssey for something newer. We looked at several other minivans but none could compare to our Odyssey. I love my Odyssey inside out! Other vehicles might come close but once you have driven the Odyssey there is just no way to settle for anything else. We are a family of 5 and do quite a bit of traveling, we fit very comfortably and with plenty of room for luggage. Sometimes we even take our parakeets and dog with us and there is still room remaining. The Odyssey is extremely quiet and has a very smooth drive. I highly recommend the Honda Odyssey for anyone that is looking for quality, style,reliability and comfort.

  Incredible - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By veleven - November 23 - 1:56 am

  This van replaced a 96 Grand Caravan. No comparison! Excellent build quality and features. Designed for Mom and drivers both (may be one and the same). Nav system is fantastic...once you learn the many options. Back seats are the best bar none for ease of folding and comfort.

  Great Vehicle, but dump Michelin - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By No Va Dad - November 11 - 1:10 pm

  This has been a great vehicle for us. The styling and handling of the van is excellent. Build-in features, even on the base model we purchased, surpass expectation. However, and this is an expensive however, the tires are awful. The OEM Michelin tires have been nothing by trouble and are expensive. Weve been through 2 already at $150 a pop and about to replace a third. Ive never had some much trouble as I have with these Michelins.
