  • THE BEST - 2005 Honda Odyssey
    By -

    WHEN COMPARED TO THE TOYOTA SIENNA THIS VAN HANDS DOWN BEATS IT. ITS FASTER, looks nicer, and is more technologically advanced. I actually considered buying a Lincoln Navigator but the fuel economy was too bad....the odyssey has 20/28 mpg, is just as spactious, and comes with more options for a lower price.....well not that low....About 40K with all the options

    Im 57 and this is the best car I have ever owned. I spent a week in snow storms and it handled perfectly. Very reliable and fun to drive.

  • Even the base model LX is wondrous - 2005 Honda Odyssey
    By -

    Even the base model 05 Odyssey LX is a wondrous vehicle. Full side curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes and stability control are standard. The drive is like riding on a cloud. Having driven a Chrysler minivan for over 14 years, this van is like a dream. The third row "Magic Seat" is stunningly easy to put up and take down. Second row seats are far more comfortable than the current Chrysler minivans with "Stow-n-Go." Can anyone really use 15 cup holders? Deep bin where third row seats go makes great space for groceries. The fit of trim pieces is tight. The entire vehicle seems to scream "quality."

  • From a Toyota Previa to Odyssey 2005 - 2005 Honda Odyssey

    Excellent feature set - Honda introduced a minivan feature set that others copied, then Honda took it to the next notch. Good Power, excellent 0 to 60 for a mini van, interior room is good, lots of storage.

  • first van other than ford or or chevy - 2005 Honda Odyssey

    This van has been a pleasure. Enjoy the maintenance reminder. The quietness and the comfort.The tires that give you the extra mileage when you have a flat tire. The heated seats, (great for arthritus).Do not use the xtra storage area as it is not that accesible. Glove compartment are on the small side. But the under seat draw seems to compensate for that. The min complaint is the magaine holer on the back of front seats, very flimsy.

    Ive driven mini vans for a very long time and my Honda is by far the best looking,handeling, and safest then any of the others. Its comfort is beyond reproach too. I will never buy any other brand. All others would be a downward step. As you can tell I am completely sold on Honda products. Non other compare.

  • Love my Odessey! - 2005 Honda Odyssey
    By -

    It drives great and love all the space it allows! Like most touring buyers the tires are not our favorite thing about the van. But if one does their research they know that the tires are not cheap....$250 a tire. But it does run flat and with kids that could be worth the trouble! Tire company could make up and help with the cost so that we as consumers will not feel cheated! Love my van and love Honda for making a great Mini!

  • 2 years, 43,000 miles and no problems. - 2005 Honda Odyssey

    We bought our Odyssey to replace our 01 RAV4. With 2 kids, it was tops on our list. Looked at the other vans, but they did not compare. Ive seen some reviews with people having issues with their 05, but we have had only one, and that was a CD getting stuck in the CD player. Other than that its been perfect. We are averaging 22 miles per gallon. So Im not sure what some on here are expecting from a 244hp 4400lb vehicle. We have absolutely no complaints about the economy of our van. We just love our van.
