What Owners are Saying About the 1998 Honda Odyssey

"Most reliable car I have EVER owned!"

"This van has been in my family since new. It was purchased off the floor of the Moscone Auto Show in San Francisco. It is one of the first 500 Honda vans ever produced. This van is the ultimate in reliability. It starts every morning without fail and, to date has only required basic maintenance of normal wear items. Fold down the rear seat and remove the middle seats and the cargo area is large enough to accommodate most anything you want to throw at it. Plus it seats 7 comfortably. The gas mileage I get after 25 years and over 350,000 miles is exactly the same as day it rolled off the floor. This van has become a member of the family."

"The best minivan made, in my opinion."

"My family has driven this little van for 10 years, and it has given great service for about 220,00 miles. It is old enough that I'm not confident of it on trips now, but it is still a great automobile for most needs."

"Best Vehicle EVER owned"

"I love my 97 Odyssey, have owned for 8 years. Besides timing belt & regular maintenance. This van has been AMAZING! I highly recommend above any other vehicle I have ever owned. It starts everytime. Extremely easy to work on, it has the bullet proof 2.2 Honda Engine and transmission. Very comfortable and lots of pep even with 4-6 college students riding with me. I am 6'8" so I had to rebolt the seat to the floor. Finally had to upgrade to bigger van, but sold to one of the students at the college I work at, for a solid ride that will get him through his 2 years of undergraduate and the 2 years of master's program and beyond."
