Great Family Car - 1997 Honda Odyssey
By rumrazz - September 30 - 2:00 amI have owned this car for over 3 years and I am the second owner. This car has really worked for us with two growing teenagers and taxing their friends around. The captain seats in the second row are a real bonus for long rides, each child has their own space. I like having all four doors open like a sedan and that all the windows roll down giving everyone air. The third seat is small but so easy to fold down when not in use, leaving a large cargo space.

nice car with no power - 1997 Honda Odyssey
By JackS - May 24 - 2:00 amHad the car for over six years before I ran into a deer and traded it in. Very reliable!! No maintenance problems over 118K miles. Flip down seats were great. Big problem....the four cylinder engine will not accelerate to save your life. Get a later model that has a V6. I was almost killed on the highway because of this

Extremely reliable - 1997 Honda Odyssey
By Carlitos - March 10 - 2:00 amGreat mini-mini van. Unfortunately it tends to be compared to full mini-vans which most the time carry a V6 under their hoods. Hey! not everybody needs that (keep in mind that its 4 cil. engine is a Vtec. Inside is very roomy and the rear passenger door are a plus with their roll down windows. Extremely reliable (never had to call road assistence at all) So far I have 138000 Km and just one visit to de dealer to replace the power doors controler (covered by the extended warranty) If you want to move people rather than furniture, its great

By Family Man - February 5 - 2:00 amOverall a great minivan! Highly recommend as a super family vehicle with many flexible uses. Look long and hard a better vehicle would be tough to find for function and value.

Great family van - 1997 Honda Odyssey
By dnc4009 - January 23 - 2:00 amWe went from a large Ford Windstar to this smaller van and have never looked back. Honda is by far the most reliable auto maker we have experienced. The only thing they could have improved on this van would be more power. Other than that I plan on driving it to its grave!!

Never worry of getting stuck! - 1997 Honda Odyssey
By Mcync - November 21 - 2:00 amReliable van! Knock on wood, I drove this van for 6 years now and never visited the dealer because of problems. The power is a little weak, but I gain in gas mileage.

1997 Honda Odyssey - 1997 Honda Odyssey
By ppatterson - November 11 - 2:00 amPurchased in 2000 because new ones were not available. Were sold on Honda products. Undoutbedly, our next vehicle will be a new Odyssey or Pilot. The only problems have been a door actuator and broken engine mount. Have not had any other problems at all with this vehicle. Averaging about 22 mpg on long trips. We typically travel from Atlanta to Indiana or Ohio twice a year with our 2 children. Room is good, power is kind of on the low side.

old style, but great minivan - 1997 Honda Odyssey
By lsulance - July 11 - 2:00 amVery well built. Great gas mileage. Holds six 6 ft. people easily. Built on Accord platform, so its like a car on steroids. Rear A/C a plus. Interior very similar to new style Odyssey, but a little smaller in scale. Made two 12 hr. trips and was very comfortable. 4 cylinder engine makes it a little more difficult to pass on the interstate b/c of the weight of the van. When will Honda make a comfortable place to rest your arm on the door. Not enough padding on the door armrest. 2002 has the same problem.
