2000 Honda Odyssey EX review from North America
"Best minivan we've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had an issue with the side power doors, but the tip to pull fuse 13 worked like a charm.
Had to replace the ERG valve, which has been recalled, but we had too many kilometers on my vehicle to qualify.
Other than that, just regular maintenance.
General comments?
This van has good power and is reliable.
Handling is responsive and the ride is good.
The seats are firm, but show no signs of wear.
We have used the van to move our daughter to University, and it was able to handle a large payload.
My wife really likes the rear stow and go seat. It is very easy to use.
We like this van and would buy another one.
But we always buy used, and the price of the new ones is too high for me to afford.
