Faults:

Nothing, should come with fog lamps standard.

Fog lamps from Honda are too expensive, bought them anyway and they illuminate well.

General Comments:

After owning a 2000, many of the complains we had are addressed. Still, the car is a bit noisy, but it is large with lots of windows. The new 5 speed automatic transmission is a hugh upgrade compared to the 2000. In addition, the new rear disk brakes stop our boat better and the extra engine power on regular gas is welcome. The seats are also recut and hold better. The dealer supply is getting a bit better, but I did not care for their attitude. Even though this is our second van, they still killed us on price.

Faults:

I have had no problems with my Odyssey.

General Comments:

Van runs great. Power is very good and at 75mph it runs at about 2000rpm.

Gas mileage in the city is just shy of 21mpg, which is better than expected.

Automatic climate control works great.

Remote keyless entry can open both sliding power doors, which is a big benefit.

If you are patient, the dealers will work with you on pricing. The sticker was $2000 over MSRP and they originally told me that they would not negotiate, but after 2 weeks, I ended up getting the van for only $250.00 over MSRP.

I feel the Odyssey is worth every penny and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a mini-van.

Faults:

Car pulled to right when first driven. Tires were rotated at owners insistence. This seems to have improved problem. Dealer had to be told to try to rotate tires to help pulling and resisted the suggestion vigorously. Still pulls to right on acceleration, possibly torque steer.

Dealer tried the usual "unable to duplicate" routine. (Scott Robinson Honda, Torrance CA)

General Comments:

Power good. Fuel mileage below EPA estimates.

Noise fairly low.

Steering dead and devoid of feel, even compared to old American cars.

Steering has torque steer.

Steering wheel position one to two inches too high. Tilt wheel does not go low enough. Driving position poor due to too high and badly shaped steering wheel. Worse than any American car or any other Honda tried. Part of speedometer hidden by steering wheel. Steering wheel slippery and easy to lose hold of due to texture and shape.

Air conditioning does not cool well enough.

Parking brake press on and press off is hard to get used to and different from old car.

Visibility to rear corners, especially right, poor due to wide pillar. Very hard to see another car at right corner.

Reliability of friends Odysseys' not up to old Honda standards.

Opinion: High price, high pressure dealer has to be told how to investigate a problem, quiet, poor driving position. May not be worth the high price.
