Best Van on the market by far, December 31, 2009
By Collin from Baltimore, MD

"We bought our Odyssey in July 2008 with all features added on the EX-L model. It runs well and we have not had a problem other than a seat that shakes which Honda cannot seem to fix. The leg room and head room is great and the trunk can fit 2 medium and 2 large suitcases and a duffle abg without a problem even with the third row seats still up. It has a great stereo and user friendly navigation system. It is easy to drive and is agile when going around bends on a windy road. Parking is not hard at all and the backup camera makes it even easier. It can drive in upto 7 inches of snow due to the low ground clearance."

"Oh, that's normal", April 24, 2009
By littleD from Auburn, CA

"I purchased my Odyssey November 2006 and currently have 54K miles. For the most part I've been happy with it. EXCEPT the one thing that has been an ongoing problem - the breaking system. Out of the 2y 5m of ownership, I have either inquired or had repaired/replaced the front and back breaks and rotors 6 times. The dealer ship has replaced the breaks twice and fr rotors once, and 20,000 later the problem surfaced AGAIN and the dealership calls it "driver error". I beg to differ. Almost every time I've been in for general maintenace, I've mentioned the breaks and it got to the point where they said "its normal"... Well, I'm sorry its not normal. The dealership also states that I should use my gears to slow the vehicle down. So ever since they first mentioned this, I use my gears (its an automatic) to slow as I come to every stop. Silly isn't it. They say its a heavy vehicle and you need to use your gears to slow down. My opinion, they need to use a breaking system that is going to function properly for the vehicle."
