Used 2003 Honda Odyssey for Sale

The 2003 Honda Odyssey van that we bought used is not a vehicle that I'd recommend to other buyers. It has some definite problems, starting with the ignition switch and starter. We had to replace both of those things last year because they key stopped turning in the lock, as the whole key assembly apparently wore out. This is a common problem with this make of vehicle, apparently. Also, even before we bought it my sister(who we purchased it from), had to replace the transmission because that went out on it almost immediately after they bought it. The vehicle sometimes has a bit of trouble starting, and the back latch on the hatch door has to be jiggered to even open. One person has to pull up and another has to hit the door unlock at the same time. It corners slowly and doesn't have a lot of pull or 'get up and go'. The frame doesn't seem very tight. Overall it's been fairly reliable, but the gas mileage isn't great and there are enough little problems that I wouldn't recommend this vehicle.

I own a 2003 Honda Odyssey. The con at the current moment is the transmission seems to be going out so my dad who's a mechanic thank goodness is fixing it. A few of the cons are: it has old style cup holders that don't fit the new huge cups we fat Americans now use. I have spilled many drinks. The gas mileage isn't that great either but considering how big it is, it makes sense that it doesn't. The pros are it has automatic doors which are awesome for getting my kids in and out of it. It also has heated seats so when we are in Utah for the winter it warms up quickly. The ac has always been great which we need because we live in Yuma Arizona. It has always had a smooth drive and I love it. I also like how the seats are arranged so in the middle section they are apart so my kids don't fight with each other and I can put my two little ones close to each other in the back. Little things like this make life so much easier. It has a decent sized trunk that I can fit all my groceries in when I go shopping. There really isn't much I would change about this car. It has good cruise control and it speeds up quickly.

My Honda Odyssey is a decent minivan that runs pretty well. But it does have some problems, like we had to replace the entire ignition because the key stopped working, which is apparently a problem a lot of the older Odysseys experience. And my sister had to replace the transmission in it early on after they bought it (we purchased it from her). Also, it doesn't have much get up and go and it jerks when I try to accelerate. The suspension is a bit soft, as well. All in all, it's been pretty reliable but not the best vehicle I've ever owned.
