I had two Honda Accords that were perfect. Actually, the Odyssey we had (2007) was not that good, but we had bought it used so we decided to give a new one another chance. full 2010 Honda Odyssey review |

Dealing with Honda over warranty issues at/near expiration. Expensive and frequent repairs. full 2006 Honda Odyssey review |
2002 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Fussy to service. Terrible dealer service. Uses Honda brand only fluids for brake, AT, steering, antifreeze. Dealer too busy or just lazy. Bad service. Poor and inadequate troubleshooting. I diagnose my own vehicle to tell how to fix it properly. full 2002 Honda Odyssey review |

2009 | 0 | Overall, I would buy the car again; and had planned to drive the car into the ground (>300,000 miles). But I sold the car at 84,000 before parts started to need preventive maintenance replacement, like hoses. I did replace serpentine belts and timing chain at 75,000 simply because I learned the hard way, and let a Volvo S-80, the best and most comfortable car I ever owned, go to ruin because I did not understand the importance of replacing the timing chain/pulley, although I had ~200,000 miles on the car at the time. full 2009 Honda Odyssey review |
