This was the last model in the old shaped Honda Odyssey, ours is nearly five years old now! What a great family car it has been!
Not the prettiest car to look at, but a great performing car with plenty of space that drives and handles so much better then it should!
We love the flat floor which creates so much space for everyone. I am amazed at how good Honda was in ensuring maximum space in this vehicle, they seem to do this better then anyone else.
Driving is excellent, it handles bends and mountains very well, driving through Kangaroo Vally for instance with ease. It has great fuel consumption for the size of the car. We have lived in both the city and country and the fuel consumption is excellent and better then many current model vehicles!
In the time we have had our vehicle we have had no issues with the vehicle. Everything still works, nothing is falling off or apart, not bad for 110,000km on the clock! The service is is very 10,000km or six months so it does come up quickly, it would be nice if it was every 15,000km or 12 months!
The technology in the car is ok. It has sat nav which is a little dated now, but it could easily be updated if needed. It has a reverse camera and air vents in all three rows.
The third row is one of the best around and can be used by an adult, at least my wife is able to use it from time to time when we have needed to. In saying that she is not the tallest going around, but I think it is better then most cars. The third row can also have a child seat in it if you need. I know that many three row vehicles can not do this, this was one of the reasons we purchased this vehicle when we did.
Boot space is excellent, even with with the third row in use the boot has plenary of room for shopping or some luggage, again not many will beat it in this area.
This is an excellent family vehicle that I would recommend for someone who is looking to buy a used vehicle with a limited budget. It has great reliability, is very practical and drives as good as many sedans of the same era. The fuel economy is also excellent. If you are after a quality used vehicle you could not go past a Honda Odyssey!
