Honda Odyssey Ex 2001 - Everything Works - Reserve Less Than A/c Value Alone on 2040-cars
Tuscaloosa, Alabama, United States
In short, this van has been very good to me the entire time I have owned it. It's given me well over 100,000 miles with little more than oil changes and tires over 8 years. It's still running like a top, but I am now a single Dad with a 120-mile daily commute, and with a second car, I don't need it anymore.
Purchased used from private seller in 2006 with 110k miles. Current KBB value in "Fair" condition $2400-2700. Overall in good condition for the mileage - Newly rebuilt AAMCO transmission at about 195k miles (These cars were known by Honda to break trannys around 130-150k) and this one missed an official Honda recall repair by 6 months). A/C Front and rear works very well - people get cold in Alabama in August if not set below 'full-blast'. Electric windows have very good motor life. Paint in very good condition, absolutely no rust. Tires with 70-80% life left. Sony aftermarket stereo with CD, MP3 playback and Aux 1/8" jack plus 30-pin connector allowing stereo iPhone/iPod controls/display on unit. Cruise (on steering wheel) works very well although new stereo made wheel audio controls disabled. Every light works including visors. Electric mirrors working. Rear wiper and washer working well. Front and rear 12v outlets good. Has original temporary spare tire (used exactly once), jack and all associated tools, all headrests and original cargo net for rear. Does not burn oil in any way I've noticed. Oil changed consistently with documentation. Van has been driven very little (less than 5000 miles) in the last 36 months due to unemployment. I recently got a job far from home, and a much smaller car to match. Recent professional rear brake job (3/2014) with documentation. Exceptions to "Everything's great!": Passenger electric (rear) door has bad electrical contacts - can be opened/closed manually but I have not used the electric function in about a year. The passenger washer nozzle is missing - I replaced the tubing to both but that nozzle fell off before I got to the repair. Airdam in front has been loose at corners for over 80k miles and has caused no issue at all. "Check engine" (meaning oxygen sensor is bad) light has been on since I bought the car (120000 miles ago) with no obvious effect - O2 sensor is a $100 repair if you felt like doing it and did it yourself. If you pull a CarFax report, you will find a total of one incident/accident in 14 years and all the miles - it happened with the prior owner and is described by CarFax as "cosmetic" (or maybe "very minor"). Regardless, I've driven it more than 100,000 miles since and never noticed any sort of issue of any kind that could have resulted from any accident. Delivery possible within 100 miles for extra fee; test drives/viewing only possible in Tuscaloosa, AL |

2014 Honda Odyssey first minivan to earn Top Safety Pick+ award [w/video]
Thu, 29 Aug 2013You know an automaker is confident about the safety of its vehicles when it asks one of the top crash test agencies to destroy one of its newest models. That's exactly what happened with the 2014 Honda Odyssey. According the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Honda requested that the agency run the updated Odyssey through its full barrage of tests, and for good reason.
Aside from slight styling upgrades and a new optional HondaVac built-in vacuum cleaner, the 2014 Odyssey was also given a more rigid passenger compartment using high-strength steel to help better protect occupants. It obviously worked. Following the crash tests, the 2014 Odyssey became the first minivan to earn a Top Safety Pick+ rating, but, more importantly, it did so with "Good" ratings in all five crash categories (four "Goods" and one "Acceptable" are enough for the TSP+). Impressive.
Scroll down for the crash-test video from the IIHS along with a press release.
Takata airbag victim looked like she had been stabbed
Tue, 21 Oct 2014We generally take certain principals for granted. The more water you drink, for example, the healthier you'll be. The more time you spend reading car news on Autoblog, the better informed you'll be. And the more airbags your car has, the safer you'll be. Because airbags equal safety. But that's not what some unfortunate drivers of vehicles equipped with Takata airbags are finding, and tragically finding out the hard way.
In what could be the most startling incident resulting from the airbag debacle so far, a woman named Hien Tran of Orlando, FL, was killed by what looked at first like stab wounds on her neck. It later emerged that the fatal injuries could have been inflicted by the faulty airbag on her Honda Accord. Tran bought her Honda secondhand, and may not have been aware that the airbag issue had not been addressed by its previous owner in a previous recall in 2009.
The Orange County Sheriff's Department is investigating the death, but it wouldn't be the only injury resulting from the malfunctioning Takata airbags. The units, employed particularly by Japanese automakers like Honda (which owns part of Takata) and Toyota, are the subject of a massive recall involving some 14 million vehicles from 11 different automakers.
Honda favoring turbo over hybrid for US-market Vezel
Fri, 20 Dec 2013While Honda gears up to unveil the new Fit to the US market at the Detroit Auto Show next month, back in its home market, the car's crossover cousin is just going on sale. The Vezel was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show last month and already has a three-month waiting list in Japan, where Honda projects that 90 percent of customers will opt for the hybrid version. Not so in the United States, however.
When the Vezel reaches American showrooms, there'll be a number of key differences. For starters, it will carry a different name, though Honda isn't saying what that will be. For another, it will be built for North American consumption at Honda's new plant in Mexico, roughly half of whose production capacity is reportedly being allocated to the new crossover. And finally, it'll have a different engine.
In Japan the Vezel is being offered with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, with or without electric assist. Honda won't offer the hybrid version here - at least not initially - but it is preparing to offer a turbo option. Although it has yet to announce US specifications and options, the 1.5-liter turbo four (also unveiled at the Tokyo show) is considered a stronger likelihood than the 1.0- or 2.0-liter versions.
