2000 Honda Odyssey ex review from North America
"Nice van to have, but not perfect at all, as it seems to be on public eye"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission is not right, took it back to the dealer and was told to bring it back when it stopped running. Transmission made a banging noise when it was floored on take off. The suspension makes lot of noise in the front. Brakes needs to be replaced at 25000 miles. Side automatic doors would be better if it was not automatically operated. There is no bypass to make it a manual side sliding door. The audio sound system which had a cd player is very weak, one of the worst sounding system I have heard on a modern car.
General comments?
Overall its not a bad minivan, its actually not a bad buy if you can get it for under $30000. Lots of interior room, power, styling.
