2010 Honda Odyssey Review: A Dependable Year For The Popular Long Lasting Minivan

Alex Showalter

Jun 13, 2022

The 2010 Odyssey lasts over 300,000 miles with only some oil consumption and paint issues. At $7,639 – 9,629, it’s a bargain for a van that holds up to the test of time.

The Good

The van handles like a sedan, the V6 offers excellent power and there’s a ton of room for passengers.

The Bad

There’s a lot of road noise in the cabin, the dash has a lot of buttons and fuel economy isn’t as good as rivals.

Is the 2010 Honda Odyssey a Good Used Van?

Yes, 2010 is a good year for the Odyssey. Owner reviews like the spacious interior, cargo room, and low maintenance costs.
Reliability ratings are great. Models from 2009–2022 are all good choices with no widespread mechanical issues.
Performance is good for a van with the standard V6 engine.
The Odyssey is a very safe minivan, earning a perfect 5-star rating in government crash tests.
Fuel economy is acceptable, at up to 20 MPG combined.

Positive Owner Reviews

Shalima A

Odyssey rocks! Very spacious.

Odyssey is a good family car. It is spacious, user friendly. It has good traction and is safe. It is very kids friendly and easy to maintain. Odyssey is great for touring and long drives. It is not at all noisy and has quite brakes. The air conditioners and heater cools and warms the car very quickly.

Dani S

Great truck space, and the sliding doors are awesome!

I love the sliding doors. I love the middle row captain chairs. I love the trunk space.

Lindsey H

Details I like about the 2010 Honda odyssey.

Great family vehicle. Has sun shades in the second row of seats, plenty of room for car seats. Great headroom for tall passengers, great leg room too. Has a steering wheel that adjusts both in and out and up and down, perfect for anyone with long or short arms. Sometimes, or maybe even a lot of times, do not even need a truck to haul something because you can put third row of seats completely down and the second row can come entirely out.

Eileen N

I love driving it. It is great to go on vacation because we need room for eight people and room for luggage.

It carries eight passengers. Great for carrying luggage.

Betty F

Odyssey journeys are terrific.

Comfortable van, carries cargo for my business but rides & drives like a sedan with great pick up power. Nice height for driver's visibility on the road, but not so high that an older person feels like the have to climb up or hoist themselves in. A totally reliable vehicle.

Tedd D

Honda vans... Good for all.

Honda is most reliable and we have had few issues with the van. Nice comfort and good gas mileage. We used it to haul things because it's roomy and we taken it on many trips. Also you sit up high in this van and you are able to see traffic better. Also the leather seats are easy to clean.

Lourdes v

My smooth and comfortable ride. I love that I can seat 8 people in my car, which I often due. Love the automatic side doors, especially helpful if you have a child in a car seat.

The Honda Odyssey is comfortable, fits 8 people. Seats are adjustable, reclined and take off if needed. Has a DVD player for entertainment, especially helpful if you have kids, keeps them entertained. Most important very reliable, I've never had any engine issues. We just keep up the maintenance in the car up to date and it rides smoothly. I love my van!

Kristin W

Comfortable and will last a lifetime!

I love the amount of room in the vehicle and the ability to easily get in and out of the van. I live how the back folds down for larger items and how easy it is to do it. And the safety features make me comfortable to have my kids aboard. It is great on gas mileage, and is comfortable even on cross country road trips.

Negative Owner Reviews

Seth O

It has a bad engine. Every week or so, the car breaks down for one reason or the other.

It is very important to my family. However it is old. Overall it is a good car

Susan H

Will not but again. Other people love it but not my favorite.

The vehicle does not handle well and the turning radius is far more limited than I am used to. The driver seat does not accommodate my tall husband (6'4'). The power doors are very glitchy and do not work smoothly anymore. I wish the back row hd more leg room as well.

Maryam W

The make of the model is practical.

I do not like the way the model looks, it looks very plain. The performance is amazing, it barely has any problems. Therefore, it barely has any problems. The comfort is okay. The seats are harder material. The features are not impressive at all. Also there is no automatic trunk operator.

butch

Granpa Honda would not be happy

Sliding doors,, Elect draw, micro switches and motors, Too much on one circuit JUNK Too complex and micro controller to keep track of. Squeaky dash

Gloria S

Honda Odyssey massive Oil Consumption

During long road trips our vehicle will automatically shut down while driving. We've brought it in numerous times for repairs. Turns out the vehicle burns a heap load of oil when on long road trips. So we no longer use this vehicle for long road trips because we feel it's not reliable or safe to drive.

Ana T

I love the way it runs and it is really smooth.

It runs very well I do not like that it is a 2010 dark grey and the inside is not l leather beside that it, 'outstanding' from the time I drove in until the time I left about 45 minutes later, there was a very friendly, positive attitude in all I came in contact with. Over the years, I have always had great service, helpful assistance, and a positive atmosphere, and do not hesitate to recommend love Honda to anyone.

Cameron C

Very reliable car, recommended.

Good parts, long lasting, reliable vehicle, although the battery is a problem. And the sliding doors can be a pain, not cheap to fix. After years of driving this car, my honest opinion is that it is a good van, has its ups and downs but all in all a good reliable car.

Zoe M

Honda odyssey! Good for families.

My van is reliable, but not environmentally friendly. It uses a lot of gas and because I am the only one driving a huge 8-seater, I would much rather have a smaller eco-friendly car. It also has a history of not being very reliable, it has broken down on me a couple of times, but it is an older can, so overall, it has been reliable enough.

What Do Critics Say About the Odyssey?

Consumer Reports says the Odyssey is a secure and agile van, with above average owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds gives the Odyssey a 4.2/5, liking the tight handling, but disliking the outdated interior.
Kelley Blue Book users rate the Odyssey 4.5/5 and enjoy the high resale value, but dislike the old styling.

What Common Problems Does the 2010 Honda Odyssey Have?

The common problems found in the 2010 Odyssey include excessive oil consumption, paint peeling, and steering vibrations.

Excessive oil consumption is a complaint that shows up at around 90,000 miles. Honda acknowledged the problem and issued a software update for the variable cylinder management system, which fixes the problem and can be installed for free by a dealership.

Paint peeling is another issue that shows up on a lot of vans at around 100,000 miles. Paint that’s not properly cared for will begin to flake and peel. The only solution is repainting the affected areas at about $1,000 per panel.

Steering vibrations show up on some vans in the first 50,000 miles. Some owners have fixed the problem with an alignment for about $150, while others have replaced the front axles, which costs roughly $600.

There are 2 recalls covering the fuel pump cover which can crack and leak fuel, increasing the risk of a fire.

How Long Will the 2010 Honda Odyssey Last?

A properly maintained 2010 Odyssey can last around 300,000 miles, which is around 100,000 miles more than a popular competitor like the Chrysler Town & Country. Regular annual maintenance costs are similar to other vans according to Repair Pal at $557 per year.

Most 2010 Odysseys will have over 100,000 miles on them, so buyers should be prepared to replace the alternator for $675, the intake manifold gasket costing $500, and the tie rods which cost $125 each.

Josh L

We have not had any serious problems with our Honda odyssey. We have only had to do just the basic maintenance that you always have to do.

Antoi L

Yes the Honda odyssey is a good reliable vehicle and it has not given me any problems since I have had the it.

S M

The 2010 Honda odyssey lx is very reliable, the only problem I have encountered is when I drive on the highway the vehicle is large so it started to shake but other than that it's a very reliable vehicle.

Monica G

It is reliable as of now. The electric sliding door mechanism needed to be replaced and oxygen sensor went off. Other than, so far only regular maintenance.

Stephanie C

It is generally reliable. However, I have had to replace a lot of parts. I have replaced the entire engine.

Chelsea M

It’s very reliable! Definitely holds up to the Honda name, having some issues with the power steering pump, but it just needs to be replaced.

Cherie F

I have had problems more recently as we have gone over 125,000 miles and more maintenance is required. Otherwise it has been very reliable for over 8 years.

Kim M

My Odyssey is very reliable. The only serious issue we have had is the air compressor on the air conditioning went out. That didn't even affect the reliability of the vehicle it was just an expensive inconvenience for us in the hot weather.

How Much Is the 2010 Honda Odyssey Worth?

Blue book values range from $7,639 – 9,629, making the Odyssey about $1,500 more than a VW Routan or Dodge Grand Caravan. When new, the price range was $26,805 to $40,755. Depreciation is average, losing about 10% of its current value per year as it ages.

What are the Different Models of the Odyssey?

There are four models of the 2010 Odyssey available. The infotainment system was last updated in 2008, and there’s a total redesign for the 2011 model.

LX is the entry-level version with:

What Engines Come In the Odyssey?

The 2010 Odyssey comes standard with Honda’s powerful 3.5L V6, which makes 244 horsepower and gets up to 20 MPG combined. Performance is good for a van taking only 7.6 seconds to go 0-60 MPH.

What Colors Does the Odyssey Come In?

How Big Is the Odyssey?

The 2010 Odyssey is an average-sized minivan similar in size to the Chrysler Town & Country and Kia Sedona. Passenger room is outstanding throughout the cabin with plenty of room for adults in all three rows.

Cargo space is very good for a minivan, offering 38.4 cubic feet of room behind the third row, 91.1 behind the second, and up to 147.4 with all seats folded flat or removed.

How Does the Odyssey Compare to the Competition?

The Dodge Grand Caravan is a popular rival, which costs around $1,000 less. Base infotainment technology is a bit better in the Grand Caravan, but everything else is higher quality in the Odyssey. We recommend the Odyssey since it lasts longer with lower ownership costs.

The Toyota Sienna is another competitor, which costs about $2,000 more. Power is slightly better in the Sienna, but the Odyssey has a better stereo system. We recommend the Odyssey since it’s more affordable, but both of these vans are fantastic and can reach 300,000 miles or more.

Smooth Driving & Reliable

I had owned a 2010 Honda Odyssey w/ the rear entertainment system that came with 2 headsets. This van was amazing and it never posed any major issues for me. It drove smooth and I liked the inside with all its romminess. I loved the mechanical side door as I pressed a button and the side door would open and having small children at this time it kept us from damaging anyone’s car doors seeing my kids weren’t opening any door that went outward. Also I always felt very safe in my van. The entertainment system was awesome seeing with smaller children,this system allowed them tp Be content during any longer road-trips .. The stereo system was exceptional as well.. I had to fix the side doors and I believe the calibers needed replacing so basically the maintenance. The engine never gave me any issues. This was my favorite vehicle by far!

Neal C on June 4, 2021

The 2010 Honda odyssey: a pretty good car.

Transmission has had to be replaced and there are occasionally problems with the automatic doors. Other than that it is a great vehicle that performs well, and is comfortable and somewhat entertaining. The touchscreen console provides a GPS map, and the ability to customize sound and setup. The Bluetooth assistant provides the ability to take calls and texts in a safer fashion. There is a DVD player/entertainment system that provides the ability to watch movies to the middle and rear passengers.

Justin L on May 24, 2021

Honda odyssey- honest review.

The Honda odyssey has great features such as automatic doors, removable and foldable seats, an in-vehicle television screen and more. The gas mileage is great and the vehicle is overall very reliable. The amount of seats provides great comfort and easy seating, perfect for large families. My only complaints would be the performance issues that come over time.

Mir D on May 24, 2021

Great car. Family friendly.

I love this car. It has a storage compartment on the floor that is very handy and has lots of room. This car is very kid friendly. Has lots of space. Very comfortable seats. It has feet warmers and seat warmers. The seats have the ability to recline which I really like. It drives smoothly. The model is a little old and outdated so it does not have new features such as waze.

Stan H on May 16, 2021

Absolute control and convenience.

The overall experience with this car was generally smooth and nice. The amount of gallons it can hold is convenient, as I do not need to refuel as often. It has not sustained any injuries, provides a lot of control over it and the appearance is not bad as well.

Katiara R on May 15, 2021

The amazing pros, and a few cons of the Honda odyssey.

It has a lot of problem with the air conditioning and the battery. But it fits my family nicely and when it does run it runs great. The doors open with just one press on my keys. I like that there is a sunroof and the children love when I leave the cover open so they can watch the rain bounce off the top of it. The back up camera has a clear view and comes in handy when parallel parking.

Monica G on April 24, 2021

Power doors and liftgate.

Having a Honda odyssey is having a completely reliable, user friendly, comfortable minivan. One of my favorite features of my 2010 Honda odyssey is the power sliding doors and the power liftgate. These were items that I thought I could live without. Now, I realize how amazing it is to have with little kids. I was originally opposed to having one but the Honda odyssey completely changed my mind!

Betty F on April 8, 2021

Odyssey journeys are terrific.

Tracy B on April 1, 2021

Sliding doors are just the beginning

As a mom of two active kids, the van has been great. There's room for sports gear and friends. The leather seats are easy to maintain and adds comfort. It's easy to drive.

Bella N on April 1, 2021

In all It's a good car for how I am living right now.

The performance is overall pretty nice however it does require a lot of extra care such as gas and oil changes, ride is pretty smooth but after awhile it not as smooth. However the seats are very comfortable however you might want to get extra padded seats if your on the road often.

Liz B on March 28, 2021

Its practical and a great model.

I feel like this model is very practical. I like how easily the back seat goes down so I can fit large loads. My kids love the DVD player. The only complaints would be that we have had a few issues with the automatic doors. And I wish the back seats were large enough to fit car seats. Its a 8 passenger van but only 4 car seats will fit.

Carissa P on March 24, 2021

The odyssey is a fantastic vehicle.

I love my odyssey! It does not have all of the bells and whistles of a more expensive trim but overall, it is great. The amount of seating space and cargo space is perfect for our family of 5. The automatic sliding doors make it easy to get the kids in and out of the car and you do not have to worry about your kids swinging open the door and hitting neighboring cars in the parking lot.

Lourdes v on March 24, 2021

My smooth and comfortable ride. I love that I can seat 8 people in my car, which I often due. Love the automatic side doors, especially helpful if you have a child in a car seat.

Carolyn L on March 21, 2021

Honda odyssey is an amazing minivan!

No problems with this vehicle yet. Very reliable. Very comfortable for long distance riding, lots of room. Easy on gas, love that it tells me that it is due for an oil change. Tells me to check tire pressure when it is low. This is an awesome minivan, lots of room for hauling grandkids around. Rides very smooth.

Stephanie K on March 16, 2021

It is comfortable and rides easier on the highway than I had imagined.

I want a bigger car. It is a great car, but I want a new one and a bigger one. It seats 8 people so that is nice in a pinch and the middle seats are adjustable.

Shaunta N on March 9, 2021

Great for larger families.

There are many features we love about our Honda odyssey. First it seats 8 which is a must for our family of 8 people. We love the leather seats for cleaning. I am always a fan of heated seats. We bought an older odyssey that has close to 100,000 miles on it so we have had to do some repairs one of the biggest being the alternator. We have had several problems with that and the battery. I attribute that to the age of the vehicle though. I love my backup camera and navigation is a nice feature. The kids like the DVD player but wish it had dual screens. Overall we are pleased with it and would probably purchase another one but with 8 people we would like something roomier with more cargo space.

Jessica M on March 6, 2021

It is a big enough family van comfortable for everyone TV DVD ac.

It runs real good never no problems it has a lot of room also come with a DVD and TV also comes with a house changer in the back seat. Back up camera. Very comfortable a lot of room leathers seats back can control own heat. Not bad on gas and to fill the tank is only 40 dollars.

Abner I on March 5, 2021

Comes in handy when you need large cargo or item. Can relax in van comfortably.

I have had the odyssey for over 10 years already and is very reliable. It is a comfort vehicle that can take a family 7 comfortably and spacious. No real problems aside for the typical maintenance of tires, oil, brakes, smog check. One thing as it ages is the smooth ride of the vehicle becomes less and you feel vibration. I recommend buying for a family and cargo. I still use it but now I ride mostly myself and I do not carry the whole family anymore in my van.

Jana M on March 5, 2021

Dependable family car that is stylish and has extra

Dependable, stylish, family vehicle, good service Dept, I like driving it

Sheryl S on March 4, 2021

The reliable Honda odyssey.

The Honda odyssey has been a very reliable van for our family. We have liked that the rear seats can fold down and create a flat roomy area that can hold at least two adult size bikes. The odyssey has run well for us and we have not had to make any major repairs. It is comfortable and will fit eight people.

Haley B on March 1, 2021

People should know that if they are looking for a good family vehicle then this is the one.

I really enjoy how much space our van has. With having three rows we are able to comfortably fit our two children and their carseats without a problem along with anything else we need to bring with us.

Ali G on February 19, 2021

Good family vehicle at a decent price point.

Comfortable to drive and ride in. Decent gas mileage. But constant issues. Electrical issues mostly. Misfiring cylinder. Alarm goes off at random. But great for a family. The seats in back go down for hauling large items. The colors are pretty boring, but whatever. We got it used, so it came with a lot of issues and upkeep. I'd wager newer wouldn't be such lemons. The backup camera is nice. Interior is easy to clean as well. No rust issues. The blind spots are big. And it has a long front, so have to accommodate extra clearance constantly. Sound system is good. Heated seats are a huge plus in winter.

Allison C on February 17, 2021

Reliable and comfortable!

I love the van over all, easy to drive/park. Very comfortable on long rides, great for the kids (my 4 are between the ages of 10 & 15) and very spacious. Little to no work needed other than regular maintenance. The only thing I can think of that is somewhat of a negative for me is a couple of blind spots up front around the side mirrors on the inside of the car, which have been fixed in the newer models.

Mom H on February 16, 2021

A great vehicle for the whole family.

It is very reliable and runs well! It has a great DVD player and two automatic side doors. The back trunk is deep and holds soccer equipment plus all your groceries. It has good power when it drives. The seating is comfortable for all people in the car. The dual radio allows the back seat passengers to listen to the radio while the front seat passengers are able to Focus on the road.

Garett L on February 16, 2021

It has a DVD player that can keep people entertained on the go.

Honda odyssey, is a brand of van that is just reliable. It can hold up to 8 passengers, while at the same time spacious. It also has a DVD player, allowing for the van to play movies while on drives. It also has the ability to control the air in the front and back. You can control how much air comes out as well as the exact temperature you would like. We've had this van for about 8 years, and besides updating the essentials such as tires, battery, etc. This van has never broken down. The only problem we had to fix was just the ac in the van. Other than that it has been an amazing way of transportation for me and my family.

Mary N on February 14, 2021

2010 Honda odyssey, spectacular vehicles.

My van is very comfortable to ride in and has a ton of space! Recently drove from TX to TN and back. The only problem we have is normal wear and tear. The radiator gummed up and the hose broke at 123,000 miles. We have the basic package and have cloth seats. The interior looks brand new with three kids.

Cristy W on February 14, 2021

It have a lot of room, when traveling there is plenty of room.

This is my third Honda van since becoming a mother in 2003. I have always drove a Honda of some kind since getting my license. I plan to buy a new Honda in the next 3 years.

Mi M on February 12, 2021

The engine outlasted the interior.

The engine is great. Interior is not durable. The trim was not too durable. We selected this vehicle based on its quality and durability. The fake leather interior did not hold up to a family of eight. The dome light assembly also did not hold up. Other than that, the engine runs great.

Maria F on February 11, 2021

Oil change. Changing the brakes.

I like my vehicle because it is spacious and we do family vacations. Great on gas. What I do not like is the wheels and alignment issues.

Mackenzie E on February 6, 2021

Room for a big family and all their stuff

Minivans are not the coolest cars, but mine is perfect for my big family. I have four boys and with seating for six passengers, plus the ability to add an extra seat, I have room for all their friends too. I love doors that will open and close for me with my car remote. All the cupholders help too. Plus, all that room, and I still have a giant trunk to put all of our luggage in for long trips.

Lori P on February 6, 2021

The 2010 Honda Odyssey is a reliable and functional family car.

It has been very reliable. It gets about 23 mpg. I initially had to replace the battery 3 times but have not had any issues with the battery in 2 years. This vehicle has been the most functional and comfortable of all of my cars. The back bucket seats are easy to remove but are heavy. They are built with a lot of support and are comfortable.

Rachel G on February 5, 2021

The Honda odyssey is safe and comfortable for my family.

My Honda odyssey has been a great car. The only issue I have had so far has been the alternator and battery. Since replacing them I have had no more issue. This car has ample room for my two children and all their equipment. The seats are leather and easy to clean and very comfortable. This model includes a DVD player that has been priceless on long road trips. We utilize this feature often. This car handles many different weather conditions well. I have just spent a very cold and snowy winter with it and am very pleased at how well it handled the ice and snow and below zero conditions. The automatic slider doors on both sides are really convenient for getting children in and out. And the automatic hatch door is great for groceries. I love being able to fold the third row seats down to create more space. I have been able to move large items with this car and easily carry bicycles. The front seats are heated and this feature has been wonderful in the freezing temperatures. I feel very safe driving this car around with my family. Air bags, the great handling in all weather, and great breaks all create a very safe feeling car. This car is very comfortable. At times I have had 6 passengers and everyone was very comfortable. I have driven this car on multiple toad trips and have loved the experience with this car.

Ana T on February 5, 2021

I love the way it runs and it is really smooth.

Luke H on January 31, 2021

Great car for road trips!

Very comfortable car there is a common problem among all of these models and years in that the air conditioning filter starts to smell after a few years. Outside of that this car has been very good and has never been in need of major repair. This car has also gone on multiple long drives 700+miles in a day.

Kate H on January 29, 2021

It is dependable, offers comfortable, quiet ride. It offers space for hauling items or people or both. I like that the inside configuration can change to meet your needs.

I love my Honda Odyssey because it is dependable, roomy and offers lots of space to transport items. I like the quiet, comfortable ride.i enjoy it will last for 200,000 miles or more.

Kim P on January 28, 2021

Plenty of room for my family.

I love that I can carry my children, as well as their friends, to whatever activity they are involved in. There is plenty of storage room in the cargo area, with or without the seats being folded down. The entertainment system has been exceptional when we've gone on road trips. I love the color, I can always find it in a parking lot. It handles beautifully and I haven't had any problems with it.

Angie H on January 27, 2021

Love the car, but newer is better.

The vehicle is very comfortable and powerful for the wintertime when the road conditions are bad. However, with age the drive has become a lot less smooth and does not have the feature that more modern cars would have like Bluetooth connectivity for phone calls.

sean L on January 20, 2021

Perfect size for a family van.

Perfect vehicle for a family. Very reliable. The mileage is great. Never have any issue. Only need quarterly maintenance like oil change. Very spacious. Great for travel. The Honda odyssey is my third van and by far is the best one I have driven. I might just stick to this van.

Melissa W on January 20, 2021

Spacious Honda Odyssey Van

I love the foldable seats in the back. It has really helped us through moving, traveling, sports etc.

Savannah H on January 19, 2021

A Good family size vehicle

The Honda Odyssey is a great vehicle. It has plenty of seating area and the cargo room is great. It is a smooth riding vehicle that gets good gas mileage. We have had little to no trouble with the running of the vehicle. However, one problem has occurred with one of the sliding side doors. The motor on it has problems and it won't open on the first try sometimes. Overall, I have enjoyed driving this vehicle.

Gloria S on January 18, 2021

Honda Odyssey massive Oil Consumption

Kelly S on January 15, 2021

Our Honda odyssey has been a good investment & made a difference in our life.

We have been everywhere as a family of 5 from the beach to the mountains and everywhere in between. We like how it has automatic doors. We wish we had paid for the hatch to have a power lift kit. My husband has watched youtube to be able to fix what he can at home.

Curt S on January 14, 2021

Old man odessices dream van.

A used Honda that shifts in and out up and down for doing 30 miles per hour and the shirts are very noticeable to me / the van has leather interior. I hate leather seats.A lot of paint chips and tiny scratch in the paint. This has electric sliders and back door movies for the passengers to much stuff. I'll never use.

Joanna J on January 13, 2021

Great, low maintenance family vehicle.

We have had no mechanical issues at all, just regular maintenance. We have had to replace the motor in one of the sliding doors and had a minor, inexpensive repair for the a/c. It drives well, easy to handle, but the front seats really could be more comfortable, especially the passenger side.

Jennifer K on January 12, 2021

My car was purchased just before the birth of my second child who is now 8.

My van has been very reliable for 8 years. In the past few years we have a longer commute so the miles have piled on a lot faster than I'd prefer. The 100,000 mile maintenance is ridiculously affordable and we've had a few issues since we did not do it. It's an older car now, so I suppose this is to be expected but I do miss the reliability of it when the mileage was lower. We keep up with oil changes and everything but we have had a dead battery, and a dead spark plug/fuel injector both within the last few months. Without lengthy freeway commute (25 miles each way) I have a hard time now feeling confident in my van after it's issues. The check engine light comes off and on now every few weeks, but nobody can tell me why. It's very unnerving.

Highly recommend the odyssey for. Families that want both. Comfort and style.

I love the space - it allows everyone to stretch their legs out and ride in comfort. We all love the DVD player, which is really useful for long road trips. Honda is reliable and we have had zero problems with ours. The van handles well on all roads and it f=does great on gas.

When waiting, I can bring things to pass the time or just stretch out.

We have had our van for five years with no maintenance problems. I use it for commuting to and from work 45 miles away. I also use the vehicle for transporting of items as big as a couch. The folding seats allows an ease of getting items in and out of the vehicle.

It can go through anything!.

Large vehicle. A lot of storage capacity. Easy to get in and out of. I wish it was better in the snow.

2010 Honda Odyssey Grey Heated seats Sunroof DVD player Tinted windows

I love my odyssey! We have three children under 7 and it has so much space. The trunk space really sold us. Most vans have zero trunk space, but this has an impeccable amount of width and depth. Super easy to fold down seats when not in use. Love the heated seat feature and our sun roof. Wouldn't trade it for anything.

Swore I'd never own a minivan...

I love the reliability of my Honda odyssey! I have had some troubles with the automatic sliding doors, the rubber trim is cracking off and causing the doors to retract when trying to close. I have also had a small leak just over the steering wheel that I believe to be coming from the windshield having a poor seal in one small spot, but overall it is a great vehicle that gets great gas mileage.

Great family vehicle . Safe, reliable, roomy.

Purchased used and had some issues with burning oil. Resolved issue and haven't had trouble with since. Hit a deer that caused quite a bit of front end damage but all passengers were uninjured. Very roomy. Travel extensively and need all the room for all my purchases. Previous Honda was also reliable.
