Still driving my 2002 Odyssey-LX. 379, 024 miles. Take care of it and it will do you well.

[franko]

Id rather have to change a timing belt once 100k miles than have the plastic guides break on a GM without warning at any time

[JCsJennifer]

I had a 1998 Honda Odyssey and it literally ran and ran and ran without having any problems whatsoever. I gave it to my son and he and his girlfriend absolutely loved it. Then I finally sold it when I purchased my Honda FIT in 2019. The 25 year oid who bought it trashed it within a few months. It was such a wonderful car. I wish I had not sold it

[SemiDad]

My 2007 EX-L had 200, 000 miles and was still going strong. Just regular maintenance. Loved it!

[Believer]

Depends on how it is maintained. Just sold my 2003 Odyssey that has 302986 miles. Never had any issues. My daughters are grown so not needed anymore.

[justindavis]

Loved my 2005 Honda Odyssey. Put many 95, 000+ miles on it (not including the 2, 563 ship ride it took from Honolulu to Long Beach). Gave me eleven years of worry free driving.

[scottieledford]

2010 Odyssey at 330, 000 miles and first repair of a solenoid and alternator this weekend! Shooting for another 100, 000 plus miles! Ams oil is helping this long journey so I drive until it falls apart! I have replace front end joints but still on factory shocks too. Take care of them and they can last even with the afm system.

[HomerJ]

I had a 2007 Honda Odyssey. Best car I ever owned. Like others, I wished i still had it. Never had anything go wrong with it. Just did the regular maintenance. Had over 150000 miles when we sold it.

[tiagoj]

What's wrong with a Odyssey? Specifically 2019? You said 2006 so the van is 16+ years old and has very little wrong with it? Sounds like a win to me!

[rogerwhiting]

Whe I bought my 04 Sienna I looked at the Odyssey too. EVERYTHING about the Odyssey was nicer...but the history of transmission problems did it for me. 10 years later and the Sienna is still going strong at 150k miles.

[nathanjernigan]

Sorry Toyota boy, Honda perfected what Chrysler created. The Odyssey has consistently been the best ever since the Caravan quit dominating

[Krakondack]

The timing belt service also changes water pump, and re-seals the timing cover. Usually involves valve clearance adjustment and cam cover gasket. By contrast, the Sienna has a timing chain, but the timing cover is notorious for leaking, and the engine has to come out to fix it. Water pump also goes out, and it's a difficult job. By doing everything at once in a car designed to have it all done with engine in, the Honda suddenly doesn't look so bad.

[YA-eezf]

how was it maintained is the real question the other day I was helping out a Toyota Camery owner with an over heated engine I asked him when did you change its oil the man didn't even know that oil goes in cars

[gregdavidson]

I’ve got an 08 odyssey with 166, 000 miles and it has the cylinder deactivation system and I have no problems. No oil burning, runs great. I’ve had it 2 years and fixed nothing. Scotty always says how bad these vans are but I don’t see it. I love my odyssey

[jrice]

We've had two Odyssey's, 2006 and 2013. Both vans have ran without major issue for the life of the vehicle. Quite literally as long as you change the oil and fluids on time there isn't anything else going to go wrong. We've gotten over 100k miles per van which is more than I ever expected. The only issue with the cylinder deactivation is if the VCM seal goes bad, it will leak oil onto the alternator. Simple and cheap fix.

[stevenkistler]

I'm sitting here watching this video in my 01 civic with 329k miles. Can confirm that Honda's go forever if you take care of it. Just changed my oil on mine.

[energy]

Mine (2004) has 150K....love it...no problems. Do have a noisy AC but still cool. It has never stranded me anywhere.

[cooldude]

Have a 2012 EXL 130k and a 2018 Touring 65k. No problems with transmission. I made sure i changed the transmission fluid as per scotty's recommendation. I looked at reviews comparing 2018 odyssey vs sienna and odyssey always wins. Also odyssey has 8 adult passenger seating and better infotainment system.

[mikesievers]

Used to own a 2001 odyssey 4wd (RA 7 series) with the 2.3 4 cylinder. Probably the most reliable car I've ever owned. Never spent anything on part's, except for a leaking rear diff seal and servicing. Had 280, 000 miles on it when I sold it to a local school teacher and it still drove great. Still see it around town occasionally. Would hate to think what mileage it has now.
