Considering getting an Odyssey. Everything I read have been nothing but
positive. Would like to hear form Odyssey owners about their real life
experience with the minivan.

TIA

I have a 2000 Odyssey. Pretty much love it. Kinda noisy though. Road
noise. Newer models may be quieter. Or not. You need to road test it on
some rough (but paved) roads. And try it on the freeway.

Other than that, it's a quality minivan. Depending on what you drove
before, the MPG may be a surprise.

What Elmo said. Great site.

I have a 2001 Odyssey EX with 59000 miles on it, most of them driven by
my wife. We are very happy with the car. There are some things that
annoy me a bit; a car that costs this much should have a few more
amenities, in my opinion. But with respect to what it has, it's all
been pretty good so far.

Road noise is louder than I like; this is also true of my 2003 Accord.

Have a 2003 Odyssey. LOVE IT!

Only major complaint (sort of) is the road noise is a little loud at highway
speeds, otherwise it's a nice ride. Well equipped and the features are
reasonably well designed.

Minor complaints: the driver's door arm rest is too low to comfortably use,
but I've gotten use to it. Wish the floor mats better covered the floor.
Miss the illuminated key holes (like my Prelude had).

I do wonder about the lifespan/reliability of the electric sliding doors.
Guess I'll find out. Final verdict, I'd highly recommend it.
