1995 Honda Odyssey EX review from North America

Rip in left CV boot (fixed by used car lot dealership under warranty).

Loose battery cables (fixed very cheaply at Sears -- they just put new ones on there).

This minivan drives like a car.

I've had it for a little over a year, and I am totally content with this model.

I purchased this van because I had another baby and needed a little more room than a sedan could give me (with a double stroller and two car seats).

The only complaint I have is that the US models don't have a top tether for second row installations of car seats.

I love this car and made my decision to buy it because of this website. I noticed that the newer Odysseys had transmission problems.

I've had to move an armoire, and took one of the second row captain seats out and folded down the third row seat, and had no problem loading it in.

General maintenance: 177,000 timing belt and water pump replacement, transmission fluid changed, new spark plugs, coolant changed, new air filter, etc.. (all changed by small dealership).

I keep the oil changed with high mileage oil and the only thing I've had to replace were the windshields.

I thank God for this minivan -- it's very affordable and reliable for my family. It's my first van and I'm happy -- hope it lasts for at least 300,000 miles!
