2004 Honda Odyssey EX review from North America

There's been nothing that's gone wrong with the van yet. No problems.

For myself, there is a blind-spot on the passengers side if a car is right up next to me.

The mileage started out at 16 city, 21 highway. But it's gradually getting better. I logged 24 on a recent road trip.

The one thing that really surprised me was the turn radius. It will turn sharper then any car I've ever owned.

The entertainment system works flawlessly. Those little rug-rats sit back there and don't say a word. It's a Godsend, I say.

I believe it has the most acceleration of all the vans out there. I was pretty impressed with that.

One thing I don't like much is the little fold-away table they give you between the front seats. It bounces around too much and my Coke splashes around a little bit. I guess they have a heftier compartment type deal you can buy to put in there though.

Overall, I wasn't too crazy about getting a van, but this one is pretty decent. I'm most impressed by the speed (better than I thought) and that turn radius. And of course, a lot of room and flexibility. No negatives, other than your driving a minivan... not exactly a head turner.

One more thing, the Odyssey holds its value pretty good. I think that's a real positive also.
