2010 Honda Odyssey User Reviews

Pros

seats 8, looks great outside

Cons

so much road noise, battery/electrical problems, steering wheel problems,transmission problems

Purchased As New

i bought a brand new 2007 odyssey, which i regretted up to this day. first the noise is too much especially when your cruising at 70mph and above, you got to turn up the radio just to saturate those annoying road noise,mine also has an active noise cancelling feature which i dont hear any difference( i should have known that thats a HINT that tells me this van is so noisy).next problem isthe battery, it died 2 years later (whats up with that?). next the steering wheel always, this car loves to go right, i took it to the dealer and they balanced the wheel and checked the allignment, it worked for a couple of days then the problem came back again. i also have a problem with this vans transmission, it has a 2 second lag if you put the shifter from N to D. if you press the accelerator within that 2 seconds the van will literally jump and if you do it repeatedly youre going to mess up your drive shaft (big bucks to repair), not to mention the wear an tear on your tires,the people at honda says that they CANT fix the problem because thats how the computer chip of this van works....geezzzz...and lastly(god... i really hope its the last) the tube that holds the rear door open failed and decided to close on its own and hit me in the head while im loading groceries. i have to stop by at home depot to get a wooden stick to keep it open..(what a life). im tired of this van.......read morehide

Pros

Too high a price for a so-so car but priced as a luxury vehicle. What's with Honda?

Cons

Engine is rough in switch eco drive and back! This is a defect that Honda cannot fix!

Purchased As New

I bought this new in Jan 2006 This vehicle with ECO, where the engine shifts from 6 to 3 Cylinders, JERKS, KICKS and BUCKs when in Cruise control on the highway from about 45MPH to 70MPH. It does it about 25% of the time and is EXTREMELY annoying. Honda says they can't fix it as it is in SPEC. Honda Customer Service admitted they have a poroblem. Dealer owner said he has noticed it on cars and vans also. Vehicle has been doing this from about 34000 on. Now at 46000 and no relief. Out of Warranty. Stay Away as any vehicle with a 6 cylinder engine could develop this and Honda CAN NOT FIX IT. This is my 4th Honda and 1st one with a 6. If you buy Honda buy the 4 cylinder untill they are able to hire engineers who can FIX the Problem. So Odyssey is a NO No. Anything with the 6 can have the problem. You will be disapointed if you buy one nad it does it to you after a certain period of time. Yes I could sell it and take a big loss and not get my moneys worth so I will drive it and suffer....read morehide

Pros

Everything good except...

Cons

The battery is poor.

Purchased As New

I bought my new Odyssey in 2007, everything is good until I can't start my car. I turned-off the engine and listen to the radio to wait for my son; after ten minutes, the battery died. When I brought my car to the dealer (lucky that it is still under the 3-year warranty), they did replace a new battery for me. However, they said that the Odyssey was not designed to listen to the radio while the engine is off. It is too bad!...read morehide

Pros

Very comfortable

Cons

None at this time

Purchased As New

Purchased this vehicle as my wife is handicapped and getting in and out of the passenger side is very easy compaired to other vans we have owned. The door open wider. We could not decide on options so we purchased the touring which has everything. So far we love the vehicle. Purchased in 2009.

Purchased As New

I just got it this weekend so I cannot speak for it in the long haul...but so far...I love it! It is so comfy...rides very smooth and has features galore. It is very user friendly (especially for an 8 month pregnant women) I was told to get a crossover vs. mini van but I definitely made the right decision. I think we got a good price...we paid $30,667 for the EX-L 2010 with moonroof visor and mud guards on it. All of the nieghbors have been up checking it out and I think we are inspiring them to be van drivers!...read morehide

Pros

Great ride, handling, reliablity, resale value

Cons

Pricey, lack of basic options

Purchased As New

Recently bought the 2009 LX model at $ 23,840 with special discounts and love this minivan. We initially considered Nissan Quest because of it's $3000 rebate but came up short due to its low resale value and its known minor problems. Also considered Sienna but the boring design and boring ride made us decide on Odyssey.

Compared to others, Odyssey's reliability was my top factor with its great handling and ride, not to mention its well designed exterior and well laid out interiors. Odyssey is fun to drive with it's sedan like handling and ride. It also tops resale value thanks to its reliabilitiy and dependabillity.

On the other hand, Odyssey's LX model lacks some of the basic options, such as power sliding doors, roof racks and rear back-up sensors, which I thought could be added as a standard options.
The only way to add these features is to move up to EX model which is about $ 3000 more, which can be costly for many shoppers.

But at the end, it still is the best minivan and the best choice you'll make. I have driven the Sienna many times, but the Odyssey surpasses Sienna in my opinon so far....read morehide
