2004 Honda Odyssey EX-L review from North America
"This car does everything I expect of it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, yet!
General comments?
This car is the best handling car or truck I've owned.
The drivers seat does not have as much leg room as I would like. I'm a big guy and like to strech my legs when driving; I just wish the front seat had about 3 more inches of travel rearward. (It's pretty amazing that when run to the forward position, the seat is about 5 inches from the steering wheel?)
I also wish the parking brake were a hand-operated lever next to the drivers seat.
The parking cog on the transmission seems to hang an awful lot of weight on it when parked on anything, but a flat surface. I try to put the emergency brake on before putting the transmission in park, but I almost get a loud clunk when releasing it from the park position. I hope this won't cause a problem down the road.
