  Best minivan - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By Kayed - October 8 - 1:46 am

  This awesome minivan is comfortable, trouble free, and I know my family is safe when riding this vehicle. It has strong but quiet engine. My family enjoyed the Honda Odyssey 2001 and know we LOVE the Honda Odyssey 2005.

  upset mom - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By upset mom - September 20 - 7:10 am

  When buying the car we were told it was a EX with leather with all of the options, but instead they just added the leather seats and entertainment system to trick us. Horrible gas milage, we wanted space in the car, but without spending so much time at the pump filling up the tank. Other than the major upset of not having the right engine, the car makes life much easier to haul things from place to place.

  05 LX Odyssey - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By BdinnaB - August 22 - 8:10 am

  Nice riding passenger van. Easy handling. Lots of power. Poor gas mileage it the city but good on highway. Bought the van right before gas prices soared thru the roof. Peaked at $52.00 to fill up now down to 33.00/week.

  Best value for dollar - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By Last 450 - August 22 - 12:00 am

  Purchased a new 05 Odyssey after comparing and driving both the Odyssey and Pilot. A difficult choice but as my wife is principle driver she chose the van for a more roomy interior. I wanted leather interior but its only available with the VCM (variable cylinder management) system which I believe is a problem waiting to happen. A six cyl running on the same bank of three cyls intermittently for its whole life; electronic controlled solenoid actuated liquid filled engine mounts to offset resulting vibration; sound waves piped in thru stereo to offset engine noise; all so that you dont know its running on 3 cyl., and a benefit of only 2-3 mpg.

  Bad Start - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By engr - August 9 - 7:50 am

  Im off to a bad start, as is the Honda. It has difficult starts. I took it in to the dealer, and they claim its just a faulty battery. I got a new one so well see. I also hear wind/whistle noises, as does my occupants, but the dealer doesnt. The vehicle has yet to exceed 20 mpg. Everything else is fantastic. Smooth ride. Comfortable. Others mat wait until new model problems are worked out.

  "Fair and Balanced " - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By Jim P. - August 2 - 4:43 am

  Initially had problem with steering wheel jiggle at higher speeds. Dealer did a spin balance of tires to no avail. Next the dealer had a power/force balance done at an offsite location and this worked. The dealer was very concerned and determined to fix the problem. The dealer was fair, and the tires were balanced.

  Quality Problems - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By Beskra - July 30 - 10:10 am

  Weve had a number of quality problems. We have had it into the dealer about 9 times in 2 months. They have now had it the last 3 days with no end in sight. Ergonomics of many controls are poor, many of them not at all intuitive. We really wish we could go back in time and not buy this vehicle.

  Shoddy Job - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By Robcat - July 21 - 1:26 pm

  Honda wont stand behind workmanship. I owned a 1995 Honda Odessey and LOVED it. The 2005 design w/removable seats is a laugh. Where are you going to put the 2nd row seats when you take them out? Only have room to put the small in hidden area.The carpets are installed very poorly and w/in hours of buying it was already coming out from undertucked areas. Is CUT drastically where the seat are design to go. HUGE pieces of material that flip up and leaves a gapping hole. Brakes actually started to dragging (They did fix them), Sliding door defaulted causing damage but Honda wont fix the door nor the repair. Attempted to hide w/different color. Paint peeling on body!

  ODYSSEY TOURING IS THE BEST! - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By MELATAZ - June 28 - 9:50 pm

  Ive taken all of the test drives of the many vans that are out there today. I highly recommend the Odyssey for its ride, comfort and style. Even though I only have 100 miles on it I know its going to be everything Honda says it is. Ive been a Honda owner for over 20 years and highly recommend it. I will report back when i have more miles Thank you again honda for making a very nice and dependable vehicle.

  Space Ship - 2005 Honda Odyssey
  By challs - June 12 - 11:06 am

  This is the best Minivan I have ever driven. I test drove both the MDX and the Odyssey and I have to say the ODyssey won hands down. I felt like sitting inside the big Van yet it handled like a car.
