2005 Honda Odyssey LX review from North America
"Nice but not as good as the previous model"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It is a brand new 2005 Odyssey.
General comments?
We had a 2003 Odyssey which I preferred to this new model.
The older car had a nicer ride, quieter ride and the smaller engine on the 2003 seemed more responsive.
I hate the cheap 4 speaker radio/CD, Hate: Transmission on the dash, the handles on back sliding doors are not easy to use inside the van. My older mother couldn't shut the door from the inside.
Ride is much harsher on this model.
