Honda Mini-van
I drive a 99 Ford Windstar mini-van and am looking to purchase a new or up
to 2 years old mini-van. I get 17 mpg in town and 25 on the road in my Windstar. I would like to hear from Honda mini-van owners their likes, or dislikes, about Honda mini-vans. Any particular problem areas, such as the Windstar manifold problem (OBD-II P0171 and P0174 codes) and intermittent ABS light, with Honda mini-vans? Thanks for your time and information. |

The Odyclub has been around a good while and your questions have been discussed over and over. Hint: The Gen 1 (up to '98) had LOTS of ABS troubles. The newer ones don't. 'Curly' |

I have a 2006 with 6000 miles on it. Great car. Only negative is radio is
typical honda quality. Would buy it again in a minute. Consider Toyota, Chrysler, Mazda, Ford and maybe one or 2 others. The only reason to buy Chrysler would be for fold down second row seats. If you had an outstanding Toyota dealership nearby then you might want to buy Toyota but Sienna costs more.

Hi There, I have a 2006 EX-L (no navi or DVD) with 11.5k miles. Love it; roomy, reasonably priced if you shop around, drives well, parks easily, good power (esp at freeway speeds), regular gas only, great dual a/c (here in SoCal is was 116 degrees in July and we were still comfortable). Quibbles: mileage is not great, about 17-18 mpg mixed driving, dealer service is expensive (about $120 for minor service), some road noise (no worse than other Hondas; I have three right now). |

We have a 2004 Ody with 24K miles. Here's what I think so far: 1 - Ride is pretty smooth, steering is a little on the heavy side, no rattles. 2 - More road noise than the 1999 Grand Caravan that was replaced by the Ody 3 - Gas mileage not as good as the 3.8L Caravan that it replaced. Only about 17 around town, 26 on the highway. But it's consistent with the window sticker. Newer ones are supposed to be better on gas. 4 - The view out the back is not all that great. It's worth springing for collision sensors in the bumper cover or an aftermarket rear camera kit. 5 - The fold-down third row seat takes a little muscle to move. Not for your petite housewife. 6 - Location of rear power outlet could be better. Only useful to 3rd row passengers or devices with long power cords. Needs outlets for 2nd row passengers. 7 - I haven't had the notorious transmission problems (just Google Honda transmission problems and read all of the rants), but it only has 24K onit. I have a 2002 Acura TL, and the transmission was replaced and the warranty extended to 7 years by Honda. 8 - Alarms for sliding doors are a bit of a nuisance if someone tries to open a door with the tranny in any position other than Park 9 - The location of the spare tire (under the carpet between the first and second row seats) won't make you happy if you're traveling with a loaded van, but then again, one tucked under the back won't make you happy if you have to change it in bad weather either...
