Honda Odyssey Reviews

"Improved car-like ride and handling, a more powerful and fuel efficient 255-horsepower V6 engine, and a clever seating system that can accommodate up to eight passengers."

"Quieter, more spacious and offers even more innovative features than before, including increased seating configurations and unique storage solutions."

"Sheetmetal now appears shrink-wrapped-indeed, panel gaps have been reduced by up to 1.5 millimeters-giving the Odyssey an athletic stance that is emphasized by a tauter rear end and a sportier front fascia with dual projector-beam headlights."

"There is still some on-center steering slack. You can turn the steering wheel a few degrees in either direction before the vehicle starts to move."

"High demand forces you to pay sticker price or above."

"Still doesn't offer four-wheel drive."

"But just when the others were getting a jump, Honda again trumps the competition with the all-new 2005 Odyssey."

"The second-row captain's chairs can't be folded into the floor a'la Dodge Caravan's Stow 'n Go, but they are removable (a relatively easy operation of flipping a couple of latches and lifting what feels like a medium-sized ahi tuna)."

"The nav system has a nice big eight-inch screen, the biggest in a minivan, located up high in the center of the dashboard for easy viewing."

"Turning radius is the tightest of any minivan, making it an easy to make U-turns and maneuver in parking lots."

"Even though the old Odyssey kept its bragging rights as the most powerful minivan during its four-year reign, Honda has increased the power output in the new van by 15 horsepower."

"A mobile room of serenity."
