  Very Pleased! - 2001 Honda Odyssey
  By pithpress - September 11 - 2:00 am

  I have had absolutely no major problems with this van. Routine maintence, cleaning the electrical contacts for the auto-doors and windows (and replacing a solenoid or five). almost indestructible by the kids! Very pleased with the vans performance. So much so, we just traded in our Ford 500 for a new 2010 Odyssey to add to our little "fleet." I hope things keep going well, but I still feel I got my moneys worth out of this mini-van! Congratulations Honda!

  Minivan - 2001 Honda Odyssey
  By Minivan_Man - July 30 - 8:34 pm

  Bought this vehicle new in 2001 and it now has 98,500 miles. Has been in for service only once since new for uneven idling and turned out to be a loose connector. No transmission problems as other have stated, I even tow. Side doors do stick, but all you need to do is spray the seals with Teflon spray.

  145,000 miles and going strong! - 2001 Honda Odyssey
  By CPS - July 9 - 8:06 pm

  We purchased our van brand new and have been extremely pleased with the purchase. We have had to repair the basics that would be expected in a 9 year old, 145,000 mile vehicle. Honda extended the warranty and fixed the transmission at 105,000 miles. Other than that, its been brakes, tires, timing belt, fluids, etc. No major mechanical or electrical problems

  Still worth the money - 2001 Honda Odyssey
  By bobdacat - May 14 - 5:29 pm

  Bought van brand new in Sept 2000. We got 119,000 out of transmission, Honda covered 75%, 500 out of pocket. Did have to replace the computer at 145,000. Check engine lite for evap code and catalytic converter inefficiency. Nothing that needs to be fixed on that yet. Still van is primary vacation vehicle. excellent on long trips, 2 NJ to Fla trips, numerous trips to Va. Tons of room, didnt know it wasnt comfortable until we bought an 2005 Accord EX. Pushed this van to the edge of its operational envelope. Despite the tranny and computer, van was well worth the money, got more than its value and its still trucking along at 10.5 years and 148,000.

  Superb Van - 2001 Honda Odyssey
  By BG - April 23 - 9:54 pm

  We bought this vehicle new in 01. It has been nothing short of outstanding. Incredibly reliable, versatile and safe. With almost 150,000 miles, I wouldnt hesitate to take it on another cross country trip. Great in the snow and comfortable for all occupants. Fantastic storage, still very good acceleration and handles like a car. Also decent mileage for a large vehicle (21 city, 27 hwy) Id love to get a new vehicle but the wife absolutely loves it, so why spend the $$. Roll on Ody, roll on!

  Excellent Car - 2001 Honda Odyssey
  By Carlos - March 24 - 4:55 pm

  I have owned my Odyssey since 2001, its model year. So far, I have driven it for 163,000 miles without any problem. This model year had a transmission recall, so Honda replaced my transmission free of charge when the transmission died. Other than this covered warranty repair and routine maintenance, this car has not required any repairs. With three kids constantly going in and out of this car, I would have thought the automatic doors would eventually required some work. However, this car had not giving me any trouble. Its been completely reliable.

  The best people hauler - 2001 Honda Odyssey
  By DIC_CAMARILLO - January 21 - 12:39 am

  We now have over 175,000 miles on our Odyssey EX and to date we cant complain. The seats are very comfortable. Great driving position. Great visibility. Lots of room inside and all seats are comfortable. Rear seat folds flat in the floor. Dual power doors are a great idea. Has been hit a few times and still drives great. Doesnt leak or burn oil. Has held value exceedingly well. Decent power and handling. Quality of materials is impressive. Engine is soooo smooth! Yes, we had a transmission issue that was fixed by Honda (even though it was well outside the factory warranty - Thank you Honda). The only other repair has been the engine mounts. The rest is maintenance.

  Fabulous Van! - 2001 Honda Odyssey
  By bruzoo - November 3 - 8:14 pm

  We LOVED our Odyssey! It never had ANY problems in all of its 8 years we had it! At the time we bought it, we had 3 small children! Great on long trips! Easy to park! Very comfortable seating... We just traded it on an SUV (Acura MDX) to do better in the snow, here in Colorado.

  Its Been A Good Van - 2001 Honda Odyssey
  By Pat - February 16 - 1:32 pm

  We bought this van new because my 6ft 2in husband could fit comfortably. We owned 3 Ford Aerostars I loved. This van sits lower to the ground I like high. No major problems but I dont understand why it likes to roll back on an incline. Dealer said that was normal. It can carry 4 kids in the back and 3 in the center with the seats pushed together. Ill keep it til 200,000 miles and look at a Pilot.

  We love our Odyssey! - 2001 Honda Odyssey
  By Dwayne - January 15 - 11:57 pm

  We have driven this minivan crisscrossed throughout the southeast and loved every mile. The car has had no repairs. It runs like a sewing machine and has great room for all that my wife buys. We both drive it around town and wish it got better mileage, but at 19mpg city Ill take it.
