Honda Odyssey EX - 2005 Reviews

In 2005, we traded up from a teensy 2000 Toyota Echo that was still getting 38 mpg and zipping along with gusto because we were expecting Baby #2. My first day behind the wheel, it took 10 minutes of slow creeping to back out of my driveway. Terrified doesn't describe it.

But once on the road, I experienced total elation. I felt so ... BIG. Much bigger than those puny sedans way down below me. Hah!

Okay, so maybe that's not what you want to know about a minivan. But I figure you can check out all that stuff about Drive Train and whatnot from a brochure or the Honda website. I'm here to tell you...

If you are in need of a van that holds a lot of people and cargo then the Honda Odessey is the car for you.  We have a growing family and Honda provided us with a great used car that provided us with a lot of ammenities for an affordable price.  The van has seats that fold down into the floor which provides us with a lot of cargo room for moving large objects.  The windows are great in the summer time as they roll down verses being pushed out like other vans.  There is a sun shade to put up to block the sun on sunny days for my children.  The best feature of my van is that there is a mirror...

We love hondas. But I don't understand why they can't do something about the road noise. They are reliable, last a long time and have a great resale value. This car drives nicely, takes tight turns and has great pick up.
