2008 Honda Odyssey Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by wsiao

Interior styling

Elegant material feels like an Acura minivan. Every detail has been thought out including enough cupholders for the kids.

Past personal experience

Had zero problems with my 2004 odyssey. Loved the sliding doors and interior space so the 2008 was our automatic upgrade choice.

Reliability & durability

For so many features, this van is extremely reliable. It also can take a beating from 3 kids.

Front seat support & comfort

Needed comfortable front seats for a large dad (@230) pounds and a tiny grandfather (@95 pounds, 4feet, 5 inches tall). These seats are the best for the comfort of such various sizes.

Rear seat room & comfort

Comfortable and roomy for adults and children alike. Wonderful for those long road trip to disney with the entire family.

Dealer practices

The dealerships are slimy and operate with zero integrity. I hate the purchasing process.

Cargo capacity

This van and its transmission are not made to tow. I would never attempt it at the risk of running into future transmission trouble.

Price or payments

High price when compared to competitors.
