2002 Honda odyssey, it's a great car for a big family.
My 2002 Honda odyssey is a great van for a bigger family. The Honda odyssey can hold seven passengers. The vans seat can also be easily removed. The van also has lots of room. It's fun to drive and really gets up and goes. I really don't have any complaints about it.

It is no nonsense- plan and functional and my dogs love it.
I have enjoyed my van for the last 8 yrs.. I bought it with 76k and now has 198k miles on it. Except for the tranny at 165k, it has been reliable..

It runs and it fits a lot of people in it! I like that it's been somewhat reliable as well.
It fits a lot of people, but its old. My daughter likes it because she can pick whatever seat she wants. She also likes that all of her friends can fit in our car.

An interesting detail is it is equipped with a vcr for my child to watch movies.
My Honda's performance and comfort is great. It has a lot of space and room to transport other kids and room for luggage on vacations.
accountCircle Chas P
Parts are easily obtainable and are priced rather inexpensively
Very roomy. Comfortable, and dependable. Drives well in all weather conditions. Third row when down provides enough space to haul large items

Garbage car do not ever buy it.
The car is to bulky which makes it so hard to park. It constantly makes weird noises and the weather strips do not stop air or water from coming into the car causing more extra noise. The car does not have good design and is a waste of money to purchase.
accountCircle Ricky D
My odyssey do not laugh, please.
Very reliable vehicle gets me point A to point B. Not the best vehicle to look at, my Honda odyssey. Serves the purpose. It is a Honda with over 235, 000 miles currently. I'll continue to drive it till the wheels fall off. It is been very good since obtaining about 5 years ago.

Reliable vehicle that's been in the family for years
This vehicle has been in the family since September 12, 2001. We have driven this all over. It is a reliable vehicle. The only issues I had with it is the exhaust pipe is loose.

It's like anything else,take care of it and it will take care of you.
I really use to like my vehicle,but with so much use and allowing other drivers that don't take of your vehicle as you would,few problems. Seeking something new.

Hondas are great vehicles for families since they run forever and are safe!!
My honda van runs well and is a safe vehicle for my family. It has over 250000 miles and is still going strong. Since it is older is does not have many extra features like new vehicles which is a bummer. Over all it has been a fairly reliable vehicle for our family.

Great for going on trips. Family vacations and all.
Honda odyssey is a very nice car, but old. Has about 200+ thousand miles in it. Takes me where I want to go but needs to be maintained frequently.
accountCircle Amanda C
Decent car for a large family.
Needs new engine mounts and power steering pump and hose, small dent on passenger side door, drives rough when going up and down hills, no power sliding doors, has CD player, comfortably sit 6 adults, can fit a full size box spring and mattress inside.

It is faithful and reliable
I'm not sure if the rating on the previous page worked correctly it should be 5. This is the best minivan I have owned. It runs great has little problems that arise and is great on gas. I dislike that the only windows that open well for air are the front ones.
