2002 Honda Odyssey EX-L Review
ProsIts a work horse and a great family mover...good on gas for a vehicle its size. ConsOnly reason to avoid this is to save and get the 2005+ models..they are just an added value to this.

Get It If U Need The People And Cargo Space At The Same Time. — What can I say....this is a sweet 240HP and it lives up to that....great power and the transmission is good too...This 5 speed auto tranny was introduced in the 2002 - 2004 models......giving u decent fuel consumption for a 3.5ltr engine...definitely the best in its class...smooth and firm leather interior, DVD, ....great for the kids to stay focus for the entire ride. The cargo space is greeaaaattttt!!!! ...even with full passenger load...when used to carry cargo alone, with all seats down and ,middle seats removed..u will not believe the stuff it can move..i carried both a love seat and a 3 seater leather sofa at the same time and shut the back door...awesome!!!!

Honda Odyssey — Performance – acceleration, 242hp, 5spd auto, it's freakin fast for a minivan braking, It stops, brakes vastly superior to my old Voyager handling, Not bad for a 4500lb minivan Build Quality – It's a Honda, need I say more? Appearance – It's a minivan, need I say more? Cost of Ownership – 20-22mpg in summer, 16-17mpg in winter and while towing Only minivan I've ever changed the plugs in 20 minutes, timing belt took 2 hours, very easy to work on, has well over 100,000 miles and no problems. Fun Factor – is this car fun to drive? Uh, well, it's a minivan. But it's a damn fast minivan :) | ||

Great Family And Pet Rescue Vehicle. — Accelerates very well. Brakes good, handles good for a mini van. The appearance is typical of a mini van. Has over 157k miles on it so the noises are expected. Fun is not a factor I looked for in this. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

ProsInterior space, powerful engine, fuel efficient ConsHorrid transmission, terrible service from Honda North America

My Last Honda — Had the best reviews at the time, and best interior space. Transmission was a complete nightmare, and despite being replaced once by Honda (after a bitter fight), it failed a 2nd time. Not at all what I was hoping for when plunking down 35 grand on a Honda. My last Honda purchase... period. I bought it for the powerful engine, nimble handling (for a minivan) and excellent braking. A nice design on the exterior matched with an efficient design on the interior. Unfortunately, nothing could make up for the lack of quality from the transmission. The final nail in the coffin was Honda of North America's denial of responsibility for my first failed transmission (within the first 70k miles) and the 2nd (after another 40k miles). Only 1 dealer (out of over 10) stepped up to fight the corporate head office to get me a replacement transmission. Kudos to Robertson Honda for stepping up! However, one shiny dealership is not enough to save Honda from being thrown off my short-list of future car purchases. | ||

ProsBack seat folds down easily for carrying cargo. Seat warmers in front are nice. Automatic side doors are handy...when they work properly. ConsAutomatic side doors can be temperamental. TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 91,000 miles.

Used To Love My Van Until Transmission Failed At 91,000 Miles :( — We bought a Honda, because of its supposed reliability. We poured hundreds of dollars into keeping current on all of the regularly scheduled maintenance and took it in for the second gear transmission recall service when that notice came as well. We did all of this to avoid what We are going throug now. In spite of doing everything "right" on our part, our transmission failed at 91,000 miles...NOT what we expected from a Honda...and a $3900 repair bill. Honda WAS going to pay for all but $850 of it, but then changed their mind when they found out we bought our Odyssey from Military Car sales while serving our country overseas. We are very unhappy with Honda, and will probably never buy a Honda again. Owner for 6 years, 0 months Miles Driven per Year:15,000 | ||

2002 Honda Odyssey EX-L Review
ProsThe car was exceptionally safe when my wife was hit broadside in an intersection, directly on her driver's side door. The side airbag was so effective that she wasn't even bruised, although the vehicle was totaled with the other car hitting her at approximately 30 mph. We were impressed enough to purchase another used '02 Odyssey. ConsThe transmission failed at 115,000 miles, much like that of many other Odysseys we read about online. Had to battle with the dealer and Honda USA -- the latter was particularly resistant -- but ultimately got Honda USA to pay for 60% of the replacement cost. I later learned that I might have been at fault for using non-Honda transmission fluid when I changed the fluid myself a few times. I will definitely not make that mistake again.

Very Safe In Crash, But Tranny Failed — Our Odyssey has been very dependable and comfortable, although transmission did have recall repairs. Too bad we can't just turn off the 5th-gear overdrive sometimes, although the computer sensor does a great job of compensating shift patterns when I tow varying loads.

Soccer Mom's Best Choice — A family of 5 bought this vehicle yesterday with delight! Not your single bachelor / bachelorette or empty nester's dream car. But for a family, this is a dream car come true. It hauls, it has tons of cup holders for bottles, cups and mugs. removable pilot seats, and instant trunk space by just a few simple adjustment. Odyssey is indeed voted one of the best designed minivan in America Primary Use: Family transportation |
