2005 Honda Odyssey

The Bottom Line: A great car. My first minivan, and I'm sold.

Review: My husband and I are expecting our third child in a few months, so we realized it was time to take the plunge and get a car that could accomodate our family and still have room for an additional passenger or two.

To be honest, minivans...

The Bottom Line: Choose the Odyssey if you want to drive your van hundreds of thousands of miles trouble-free.

Review: We bought the Honda Odyssey in 2005 after much research on minivans. I have to admit, that I am a research freak and always want to get the best product out there for the best price, no matter what I am buying. When we had our second child, we...

The Bottom Line: Drive the competition, drive Honda last, your final decision should be easy... or just buy the 2005 Honda Odyssey! Even those who don't like minivans will like driving it!

Review: In today's automobile environment selling minivans is more difficult than it used to be. Many families, until gas prices skyrocketed in 2005, preferred large SUVs that carry less and consume more gas, many women (who make most decisions on which...

The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this car to anyone, but do be cautious if you are not comfortable with techno-gadgets. Go for a great warranty.

Review: I am going to have to update my review in bite size chunks as I have time, but as I have owned this car longer, there are a few things I would like to add. I will add new items to the end of this review. All of the remainder is what I posted two...

Review: We purchased our 2005 Odyssey EXL with leather & NAV/DVD in December of 2005.
Since then @ 8,000 miles the transmission was replaced. We have had terrible trouble with the brakes, they have been replaced 4 times, including the rotors once...

The Bottom Line: I think this vehicle while not perfect is a sound vehicle with excellent handling characteristics, but I think some details could be improved.

Review: This is my first minivan and on the whole, I'm quite pleased with it. The ride and comfort are wonderful. The vehicle handles quite well and braking is solid. I've got almost 6000 miles on the van and some minor intermittent squeaks and rattles...

The Bottom Line: If you can get one get it.

Review: We purchased our '05 EX on New Year's day. After we found out that we were expecting the thrid kid. We hav always been very loyal Honda fans, we have had Civic's, Accord's, and CR-V's but our recent CRV just wouldn't be big enough and we were heart...

The Bottom Line: For the first time in 6 years, people have approached me as though I am something or know something - just because I'm in a Honda. Tranquility and Security.

Review: I'm only in the early stages of ownership, but wanted to share a few experiences with readers. First, the epinions reviews of this and other mini-vans helped make the decision for me. I chose Odyssey LX, because I needed to make a good decision. As...

The Bottom Line: Recommended. Much better space utilization than a SUV. MPG better than a SUV.

Review: Have put 50k miles on the 05 Touring. Average fuel economy is about 24 or trips, 21 around town. The PAX tires work well, have had 2 "flats." There are no local tire shops that will work on them, so everytime they get a nail, the dealership puts a...

The Bottom Line: Don't pay extra for the 3-cylinder engine.

Review: I shelled out the big bucks for the 2005 Honda Odyssey -- the one with the engine that drops to 3 cylinders -- because I was attracted by the 28 mpg (highway) that was advertised. I've never had any trouble getting the posted mileage on a vehicle...
