General Comments:

It generally starts... But forever repairs! A relative had an Odyssey, and it had been a good work horse, although I believe this one had a hard life. As time goes by, a lot of features on these cars start to fail if not treated with respect.

ABS repairs are expensive and the car became uneconomical to repair, so it was scrapped.

It's roomy, and being AWD is handy.

Bad gas consumption of around 9km/l in real conditions.

Faults:

Radiator leak at 150000. The only problem in 7 years!

General Comments:

Superb. Unbelievably reliable, comfortable, surprisingly good handling. Great value family vehicle.

Faults:

The rear park assist kept beeping when reversing, even if nothing was there. It was an intermittent fault, so was very difficult for the dealer to find.

General Comments:

Overall a very stylish, comfortable car. The only downside was the noise. The roads in New Zealand have a very rough surface to shed water, and this car made any long trips quite tiring, by transferring all road noise into the cab. Around the city, with smoother roads, I'm sure it would be fine.

I bought this car for my wife to use, as it was one of the few family cars, that at the time, had full curtain airbags.
