Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: Inside space
Cons: Just about everything else...
And only getting 14 mpg
The Bottom Line: After owning 3 Honda's for over 100K each, I just can't recommend the van until Honda admits there are defects, and design a correction.
Bought brand new, was back in shop before 1200 miles. Stayed there 18 days & we drove rental while waiting for “Honda Tech” from Calif. Transmission slips/bucks while driving at a steady 45-55 while tachometer is jumping from 0 to 3. "Thrumming" ...

Pros: Double power sliding doors with keyless entry, smooth ride, folding into floor third row seat
Cons: Road noise, bland gauges, no middle sliding infant seat.
The Bottom Line: Average van for the money. Lease if possible to get the feel if this van is for you.
**JANUARY 2004 REVIEW UPDATE** *I HAVE NOW LOWERED MY PREVIOUS RATING ON MY 2003 ODYSSEY. THE HEATING & COLLING SYSTEM IS BELOW AVERAGE. IF I CARRY THREE PERSONS OR MORE IN MY VAN, I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY USE THE DEFROSTER AND REAR PASSENGERS CANNOT ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: IT's fun to drive. Overall it's a good car
Cons: Look in the main body for more details
The Bottom Line: Not worth the money paid. Probably,waited for 2004 models, and gone for Toyota sienna or Nissan Quest or Dodge Sport caravan.
Due to the demand, dealers will rip you off, insurance is much higher than say, dodge caravan. follow the Cons section to see other serious issues. Major deal here is that it is touted to be one of the safer vans and due to adequate horses, it's fun to d ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: Good package, steals enough gadgets from others while making some of its own, easy prices.
Cons: Less nimble, feels like for older people, too much wood-trim, interior dark, look is old.
The Bottom Line: For older people, it is a safe minivan. It has soft rides, can be very comfortable for long trips.
The replacement of the old 140 hp with the 210 hp was a good desision when the second gen Odyssey came out. However, the competition has been uping their goodies since then. The new Sienna is bigger, and more versatile. The 2004 Mazda MPV has a new ...

Cons: INTERIOR NOISE, lack of luxury features
The Bottom Line: Nice van in 2003, look at newer models for better features
I broke down and bought a mini van when my Saab became just too tiny to carry around my daughter and all of her accessories. This was a hard decision as I had vowed in my 20's that I would never drive a mini van. My first purchase was a Dodge ...

Pros: Engine power; handling; amenities; reliability

The Bottom Line: A very good vehicle, with reservations.
We bought our '03 Odyssey used in the summer of 2005. It was a cream puff, just 6,000 miles. We have driven it on various family trips over the past year. Its been a very good vehicle - its reliable, it handles pretty well for a van and it has a lot of ...

Very attractive
Great brakes
Cons: many blind spots!

Pros: Great handling, love the DVD player/"babysitter"
Cons: could use some more storage compartments, sliding doors are stiff
The Bottom Line: If you can find one in stock - jump on it right away - you will enjoy every mile in comfort!
I have been a Minivan driver for 5 years now. I just recently leased the 2003 Honda Odyssey after I swore that I would never buy another minivan again. Why - you ask? Because I previously drove the 2000 Ford Windstar. My Windstar had plenty of room...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Power, ride quality, quietness; interior room, comfort, and versatility
Cons: Could be more stylish, no sunroof or CD changer from factory, low availability
The Bottom Line: Excellent minivan at a reasonable price. Shame it doesn't handle as well now, but this is the price of an improved ride.
The Japanese auto companies are not all that smart. It took them about a decade and a failed attempt or two to realize that large pick-ups, minivans, and SUVs were hot and get competitive products to market. For example, both the Toyota T100 and original ...
