2005 Honda Odyssey Touring review from North America
"I've had two Odysseys now and have had A/C problems with both. No more Hondas for me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes (naturally) but now our air conditioning went out today... and it was 106 degrees here in Nashville!
I'm taking it in tomorrow to have it repaired, but I must say, after reading what I've read on the internet, I'm dreading the diagnosis.
We owned a 2000 Odyssey and had to replace the fan motor on it so I think this is it for us with Hondas.
There must be a reason why Toyota is still #1.
General comments?
I have been disappointed with the Touring model especially since you pay so much more for it than the other models. The idea of the Run Flat tires is nice, but they make for a very stiff ride. You feel every bump in the road and it's more "bouncy" than our 2000 was. Granted you have peace of mind when it comes to having a flat tire or a blow out, but be warned you are sacrificing a bit of comfort.
