1995 Honda Odyssey LX review from North America

I had it checked and all systems are working. The only thing that needs to be replaced is the vanity bulb in the sun visor.

After searching and reading and knowing a little about the car industry and reliability of some makes, my decision came down to two makes of minivan. Toyota and Honda, I bought the one with the highest consumer rating, A 1995 Honda minivan with 99,880 miles. Though I am a new owner of a late model vehicle I am mechanicly inclined and understand 95% of car maintenance. All my vehicle purchases are calculated and thought out, and never new,(usually about 5-8 years old) and next to never use a dealer for maintance (to pricey). I was really suprised by the comfort compared to a Ford Windstar I had just rented. One thing you will notice and like is the van is smaller than your average U.S. minivan. When your driving you'll think wow maybe this is not a minivan, then you look back and see all the seats. The only draw back is the carpet, it seems all the vans I looked at had stained carpets, it must be the color or something. I will probably invest in some new floor mats ($95.00) that cover most of the carpet. I really like that it has 4 doors and not those cumbersome sliding doors. My four kids load and unload fast because of the doors. My friends thought it was a tall station wagon. I then repeated that it was a minivan. This minivan seats six and the best seat in the van is the middle seat with plenty of legroom.Dual air conditioning takes care fo the heat in Florida but I would need to tint the windows in South Texas. If your looking for a minivan, purchase a 1995 Honda Odyssey, for even the new (Honda Odyssey) models I feel have gone the way of the larger, gas guzzling, cumbersome sliding door U.S. minivan.
