Love the interior, but too many problems. Maybe it is just minivans in general, but I was seriously disappointed with my first Honda.
It is now September 2008 and I have officially unloaded this piece of garbage. What a disappointment! Everything that I read here has occurred to me and more! I am going to consider this an Odyssey problem and not a Honda problem. After doing all the work I reported back in 2006, I have done much more. The second sliding door went and that was it! I had been shopping for a Honda Accord for months when one day I went to start the Odyssey and the battery was dead. Whether or not it would have happened to any other car, I had had it and decided to see what trade in value a 2000 Odyssey LX had with 93,000 miles and some bumps and bruises. Went to 3 different motors and they all gave me $3,000-$4,000. That's it?! Glad to have it off my hands. More to come about the Honda Accord.
