2000 Honda Odyssey consumer reviews

My husband and I are cyclists and have a tandem bicycle as well as single bikes. We bought the Odyssey because it was the only van long and tall enough to accommodate our tandem without making any adjustments other than removing the front wheel. We have gotten completely reliable service from it as well as good mileage. Our dealer tried to tell us we needed to replace the transmission (we weren't having problems) so we took it to another mechanic for a second opinion. He told us the transmission was fine. My husband commutes in it and we have taken it on many long road trips with our bikes without a problem. We're planning another long road trip this spring. When we replace this van it will definitely be with another Honda Odyssey!

Hondas are great. We've got 4 of 5 family cars. This model and this year are a disaster that dealers won't acknowledge. We bought the van used. I wish I had found out about the transmission problems before buying. Honda extended the warranty, but we are just past their coverage. There's is only a little chug in the transmission when you hit the accelerator, but now I feel as if the Grim Reaper is hovering. There is also a check engine light issue. I see from various web postings that this is an ongoing mystery for other owners of 2000 Odysseys. The light simply keeps coming back on. The dealer will tell you that it could be a hundred things from exhaust system to transmission. We chased a few options for repair but several hundred dollars later, it still comes on. They finally suggested black electrical tape to cover the light. Hmmmmm..... Stay away from this year!!!!

This van is one of the best used minivans to get. That's all I can say until you get one. But be careful with the transmission on this one because it isn't to good.

I bought this van used with 70 K miles on it. Now have well over 100,000 and it is still as wonderful as the day I got it. The fuel mileage is between 21 and 27- depending on where you are driving( city or highway) We have taken several trips and it is the most comfortable vehicle I have owned. I am over 60 and it is extremely easy to enter and exit-more than I can say for regular cars. My friends and I take this on golf outings often. It works perfect for 4 large guys and their clubs and gear. If you can find one-buy it!!!

We purchased ours in 2000 and this vehicle has NEVER had an issue - we travlled a 2400 mile round trip with 5 adults and 1 toddler, and even without using the roof rack, still had room for all our luggage. VERY comfortable on long trips, mileage better then rated (Hiway, gets 25 - 27 MPG). We love it so much, we are buying another.

We bought the car so we can go far with good milage, it gets like 21 mpg, but the rest of the car is horrable, it feels like its going to fall apart!

Very functional with movable and removable 2nd row Captain's chairs and a 3rd row seat that folds into floor. Results in lots of storage space. Plenty of power and Honda reliability (5th Honda owned). Smooth ride and comfortable seating. Highly rated by several consumers and auto magazines.

Fun to drive (yes - even though it is a big minivan) with great reliability and performance. Good for up to seven passengers and the cargo capability is great.

The driving part of this veihcle is so good and exellent i would reccoment this van to any of my friends. And honda has been getting some more features for the odyessy and it gets more and more better as years go by.
