Lost my faith in Honda
This was my second Odyssey. The first was a star. This one has been plagued with issues since purchased with 95,000 miles on it. The spark plugs keep getting gunked up because the engine sucks oil into the open cyclinders due to the eco feature. Honda won't warranty it because we weren't the original owners. If you search honda spark plug replacement VCM you will see why NOT to buy this model. DO NOT BUY. It's left me stranded 3 times. I have ownerd it 2 years, replaced the plugs 5 times in that timeframe. It's beening sold, over it. Other than that I really like it, I planned on keeping it for a lot longer. Lots of space, storage, and it's beautiful.

VCM System
Please be leary if you are looking at purchasing this vehicle. There was an issue with the VCM system. Several articles online. If you don't have proof engine was rebuilt, please stay away. Honda did extend the recall to 8 years, should have been a lifetime recall. This isn't the only model year that had this issue. I would recommend another manufacturer, maybe Toyota, etc.

Love my new van
It's comfortable and reliable. The body is in great conditions. I enjoy driving it and my kids enjoy the space a perks. They can watch TV charge their devices and/or play their video games on the TV. Everything they've wanted in a car and silence for me!

Recently purchased Honda Odyssey 2012
This car is wider than other minivans, providing more space and legroom for the kids. It drives ultra smooth and is super comfortable. Only complaint is that there is only 1 built in USB port and is located in the glove compartment.

Great family car
This was a great reliable car. Treated us well the 8 years we have owned it. Lots of leg room. The 3rd row seating folds for lots of cargo room.

Sorry to say Good-bye!
This Honda odyssey met all of our family needs. It was comfortable and spacious. Reliable Like no other van, we owned 3 Honda odyssey through The years of raising our children. I am sorry to see our last one go and to say goodbye, it’s a turning point on many levels in our lives. I would never buy another minivan than a Honda Odyssey!

This one has cost me money
I had a 2003 and it went 270,000 with almost no expense. This 2012 has cost me $3000 in O2 sensors at 130,000 miles and another $2,000 for bushings and other things. Also I barely tapped a car and my airbag deployed. Literally, I tapped someone and my bumper Just barely came off one clip all I had to do was tap it with my knee to put it back and I was told that it wasn’t one of the recall issues. I’ve had several of these and this one has cost me a lot of money. It’s been good for taking 8 kids places and getting back and forth from Cali to Wisconsin. In the summer I tow my boat to the lake on Sunday which has also been great just the most expensive Honda I’ve ever owned for repairs.
