  Its green, so its a lime, not a lemon. - 2000 Honda Odyssey
  By ffeineandsugar - December 12 - 10:00 am

  While this vehicle has great features, especially with its interior and its engine, the overall experience has been akin to owning a Yugo Minivan. My Honda, in 35k miles, has gone through 3 snapped door handles. The brakes failed in the middle of the Lincoln Tunnel (with the entire family on board). The horn shorted out, locking the wheel (at 4k miles!) The original tires lasted less than 25k miles. The body dents under pressure from small children and hard stares. Honda of North America has been very difficult to deal with. Look elsewhere.

  I love it! - 2000 Honda Odyssey
  By Chris - November 2 - 11:34 am

  We bought our Odyssey with 61K on it and I am very happy with it. It gets great gas mileage, Honda stands behind their work and its a great ride, especially on highway trips. Did have a problem with the EGR valve at 81K, had it fixed and am appealing to American Honda to reimburse me as theyd extended the EGR warranty to 80K! My goal is to keep it for years to come, Im hoping to put another 125K on the vehicle. Its my vehicle of choice anytime I go out driving. Only minor glitch is sometimes the automatic sliding doors freeze up, but thats usually due to human error! Bought new tires, have replaced front headlight bulbs and other routine maintenance, thats it!

  Hope the surprises stop - 2000 Honda Odyssey
  By Nick - September 4 - 11:42 pm

  Bought brand new in Jan 2000, was very pleased with vehicle until first major service, had 30000k, thats when the problems began, (rear brakes) after this deglazing of the drums the problem began and stayed with them until 110000k loud vibration noises when braking from 110km, thats probable why 2001 got all 4 discs, sliding doors already replace motor and latching mechanism every two years, now noticing trans, clunking noise especially when backing out of driveway. Got to call Honda Canada to ask about transmission recall. Hopefully the 2005 and newer dont have to many bugs. Hope this helps

  Good Van - 2000 Honda Odyssey
  By VFRBEE - August 19 - 4:46 pm

  The driving dynamics and utility of this van are outstanding. Better cargo, passenger room than a large SUV with fuel economy of a car. We currently have 90K miles on the van with no costly problems. Small irritations have been numerous: Squeeking rear brakes under light braking. Sliding door sticking problems, check engine light on for bad EGR valve under warranty, if tires are cheap and/or cannot be balanced perfectly you will get vibration at freeway speeds. Overall Im happy with our van and expect to keep it for 10 years and 200K. Im a bit concerned with all the transmission failures, but even if I have to replace it once it will still be cheaper than buying new.

  I actually like a minivan - 2000 Honda Odyssey
  By sssannndmannn - August 16 - 10:53 am

  Bought from the original owners at 103,000 miles and we now have 116,000. The previous owners said the transmission was replaced at 86,000 miles (not normal for Honda, I have an 89 Integra with 197,000 miles on the original engine & trans). The drivers side sliding door doesnt latch itself all the way half the time so we have to push it closed all the way manually. Also there is alot of road noise. Otherwise, this is an amazingly nice, fun to drive minivan. I grew up with a VW Bus, minivans have sure come a long way. This van isnt perfect but its by far the best for its time out there.

  Good and reliable - 2000 Honda Odyssey
  By Frank De Risi - August 16 - 10:04 am

  Good family van. Quiet ride. No mechanical problems. Engine has a whistle noise . Honda says nothing can be done. Doors stick with no specific pattern. Had to replace cat converter at 50000 miles for $ 700.

  Great Van...Few Kinks - 2000 Honda Odyssey
  By avj - August 7 - 10:00 am

  We have had our van for exactly 2 years now. We had to replace the battery, had a clunking behind the right front wheel that needed to be fixed and the electric doors got stuck once. I agree that the stereo system is not so great, and the swooshing of the gas when the tank is full is a bit annoying. The controls for the front seat could be placed better, Im forever pressing the button that moves the seats on my way out of the van. On the positive side, its a great van and has a great ride. Its powerful and the fold-down 3rd seat is the best!! You never have to plan ahead when making a big purchase, just fold that seat down and your good to go.

  Excellent Odyssey - 2000 Honda Odyssey
  By Don Benson - March 31 - 5:23 pm

  We finally purchased our first Honda. Its a 2000 Odyssey EX and we have quicky discovered how thoughtfully designed this upscale minivan is. We appreciate the automatic climate controls and excellent attention to detail. For example, our previous Ford Windstar could not handle a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood and the Odyssey can with the rear door shut. We certainly feel we made the right choice and look forward to many trouble free miles ahead.

  An ok van. - 2000 Honda Odyssey
  By An ok van. - March 27 - 9:16 pm

  The 2000 Honda Odyssey LX is a van that has good days and bad. Some days when it is not even cold out, the sliding doors will not open, and the person must use excessive force to open them. Honda just says "there is nothing we can do about it." The paint on the van is also very thin and scratches easily. The same can be said about the interior dashboard and door panels. They all scuff or scratch easily. The good things are the van is very well built frame wise. After being in two rear-end accidents the van still looks as it did before the accidents, minus a few scratches. The amount of cargo space is probably the best feature. Other than that the van is pretty good.

  00Honday Odyssey LX - 2000 Honda Odyssey
  By Rick - February 16 - 3:13 pm

  Purchased new when Mercury Villager died. Needed room for the kids and for trips. Looked at SUVs but the Odyssey has better gas mileage. This has been, and still is, a fantastic vehicle. No problems at all. Have only replaced the normal "wearable" parts (wipers, brake pads, filters, tires, etc.).
