1998 Honda Odyssey consumer reviews

I loved the fact it had regular doors instead of sliding ones but the vehicle sucks in reliability. I had to Jimmy rig the air conditioning to work and heater also. The transmission was a pile of junk and for a four cylinder it got the fuel mileage of a f150 v8 from the 1970s. The engine was the only solid thing it had going for it other than the door design. The alternator had to be rebuilt I couldn't even get one from any parts store because nobody made them anymore and apmost every part on it has to be from a 1998 only. I will never want another one. Even the suspension was so bad the bushings went out and the rear control arm ate the inside of the rims.

car rides great, handles well and has get up n go when needed, meets all my need and have room to haul if needed. over all great car

I was able to look at this car. The color was too dark for me. The rest seemed in good condition for a car of its age. Stereo and aircon worked fine.

'98 still offered 4 convenient sedan doors instead of those cumbersome sliders. It is a standard width, like an Accord, so it is easy to park and manuever. The 3rd seat is easy to fold down for more cargo space and it is actually fairly comfortable. Middle seats pop forward to give easier access to the back. This year was the highpoint of Honda engineering-this van is elegant in that it is neither over nor under designed. Alas, the newer Odysseys are too big, just another cookie-cutter van like all the others on the market. Go vintage and get the best!
