(I should have replaced this earlier as part of regular maintenance)Some wiring needed replacing (didn't keep the car from running or driving fine) at 230,000 miles.

Control arrangement is logical and precise – everything easy to find, reach and operate.

Loose battery cables (fixed very cheaply at Sears -- they just put new ones on there). 1995 Honda Odyssey. Comment on this review . Something else that’s typical of Honda’s attention to detail is the Odyssey’s small-object storage. I noticed that the newer Odysseys had transmission problems.I've had to move an armoire, and took one of the second row captain seats out and folded down the third row seat, and had no problem loading it in.General maintenance: 177,000 timing belt and water pump replacement, transmission fluid changed, new spark plugs, coolant changed, new air filter, etc.. (all changed by small dealership).I keep the oil changed with high mileage oil and the only thing I've had to replace were the windshields.I thank God for this minivan -- it's very affordable and reliable for my family. The Odyssey will probably have a familiar look to folks who have owned Hondas over the years. It's adequate, but not a "performance car" to speak of.The cabin has lots of room for the overall size of the car.I love being able to fold the seat down in the back. It’s a little bigger than the standard version of the Dodge Caravan, a tad smaller than the Mercury Villager and about the same as the Toyota Previa.The Odyssey will be offered in two models: the well-furnished LX and the loaded EX, which we tested. Review Date: 4th June, 2005. There are two good-sized glove boxes and a center storage bin up front, plus cupholders and storage pockets built into the armrests at all the outside seating positions.Our EX test van included a wealth of standard features that would be extra in a lot of other minivans – front and rear air conditioning, an AM/FM/ cassette sound system and power everything, to just skim the top of the list.Major additions that go with the EX model include a power sunroof, alloy wheels and a premium sound system with six speakers. At that point we decided to get a little more room, so we got a newer van and this became my "daily driver" commuting to work and running errands. The doors are equipped with side-impact beams and meet 1997 federal side-impact standards for passenger cars. Even before its introduction, there was criticism from some auto industry analysts who were allowed a preview and dismissed it as too small.But Honda has always kept its vehicles as compact as possible.

By the Grace of God & after almost 3 years of searching, I finally did it! Honda released the Odyssey in two forms, a six-seater which had a pair of ‘captains chairs’ in the middle row in 1995, and a seven-seater which substituted a bench seat for the two individual centre seats a … It’s smooth, supremely quiet, versatile, attractive and assembled with Honda’s usual careful attention to detail.And it’s got the Honda name. There’s a near-phobic bias against excess space and mass in Honda engineering, and the Odyssey is true to its heritage in this respect.However, the Odyssey is no midget. Read consumer reviews from real 1995 Honda Odyssey buyers. Find Car; Buy New; Find Used ; Hondas have been many things over the years: innovative, well-made, well-engineered. Rear-seat legroom is a little confined, and getting into the third-row seats is awkward, although a low step-in height makes entry and exit very carlike for the other positions.We also wish that Honda had found another place to stow the spare tire. There are elements borrowed from other Hondas, notably the Accord, but not from anywhere else.That’s bound to be a plus with people who have owned Hondas, particularly Accords.As you’d expect of a Honda, this minivan is different. It’s not the roomiest, it lacks a V6 engine option, and it’s far from inexpensive.On the other hand, it’s chock full of standard comfort and convenience features, as well as many clever design touches. The only time it made any noise is when we pushed it hard for passing and during a couple of maximum acceleration runs.The Odyssey is surprisingly peppy during this kind of work, and its 0-to-60 mph time of a little over 12 seconds compares favorably with the competition.In normal driving, the Odyssey is exceptionally quiet.
