This 2002 Honda Odyssey is an Under-Appreciated Childhood Warrior

[@wolfgang383]

I love my 2004 odyssey it’s been in the family for 15+ years and been so reliable

[@BernonCars]

Nice!

[@roxyroller25]

@@BernonCars i had a second odie and its transmission problems never happened and was prevented with a better trans cooler

[@control2791]

I love these "normal car reviews" way more interesting than watching hype vloger videos on the latest mclarenwhatever

[@BernonCars]

I agree!!

“It feels like you’re driving an accord just with a big ass” that part had me dying😂😂😂

[@BernonCars]

Hahahah

[@elijahelliott1994]

The best part is he’s not wrong that’s exactly what it feels like when you’re driving it 😂

[@Matanumi]

that's very true accord with a big ass and TONS of interior space

[@thaknobodi]

And a more powerful engine than the accord

[@johnm.teague8125]

As an owner of an 02 odyssey and an 01 accord, that's exactly right! 😂

[@bradleymeyer9775]

Those automatic door sounds. So nostalgic. And they do sound “tired” 😂 as the Van ages. Ours started to as well when we had it. Back when we had it I had to spray silicone lubricant in the mechanism and cables to help the doors from getting stuck.

[@BernonCars]

Ahh yeah right the memories!!

[@picopanpipe9]

I will never forget my Honda Odysseys. A 1995 model with all the accessories and 1999 model that had been converted into a camper. They are the best cars!

[@BernonCars]

Oooo sweet!!

[@sarapbuhay5519]

My brother has a 2002 Honda Odyssey also. About 200k miles, he had a transmission problem. Got it overhauled. Then 3 months after the repair, he got problem about transmission fluid overheating. The Transmission shop recommended to add oil cooler. The van has been running great. The white paint was cracking. You can use your finger and get a chip of the paint. He got it repainted white just like the original color.

[@rainbowterra]

I have an '04, and this video describes it perfectly! Honda Accord with a big ass, yep! Mine has 211k miles...I'm a mobile auto detailer and it's my work van. I have a water tank mounted where the middle seats were, and it carries all my crap because it's big. Always starts right up, runs fantastic. I did a paint correction and headlight restoration on it and it looks pretty damn good.

[@BernonCars]

They’re sturdy vans!! I love em

[@deanfarr3249]

These first and second generation Honda odyssey vans are classics nowadays and they ran and lasted forever.

[@BernonCars]

Very true!

[@jayski8987]

My 2004 Ody has 276,000 miles and still running strong 💪🏻 I did replace the transmission with a Honda reman at 220,000 miles

[@BernonCars]

We love to see it 💪💪

[@QRS365]

bro, i just stumble on this video and i didn't know you been reviewing cars from a long time. hope your channel get huge..... i like your reviews

[@BernonCars]

I appreciate that!

[@bradleymeyer9775]

My parents had a 2004. We had it for 14 years. I got my license in the 2004 Odyssey and it was my first car, I drove it in high school. I love the comfy leather seats that it had.

[@BernonCars]

Nice!!

[@Link8451]

i drive around a 2000 odyssey its at 196k miles and the transmission has been slipping for the past like 50k and it still runs like a champ

[@BernonCars]

Nice LOL

[@johnm.teague8125]

I drove my 02 odyssey from New Jersey to the Arctic Ocean in Northwest Territories and back last summer, and it still runs well!

[@BernonCars]

Sweet!!

[@za4117]

Peak Odyssey was the 3rd gen 2008-2010 model. They had more comfort features than the 2nd gen, the heavy-duty 5 speed transmission from the Ridgeline/Pilot/MDX that didn't fail like clockwork after 80-100K, and overall more usability. Just get a muzzle for the VCM system if you have an EXL or Touring and you will be set!

[@BernonCars]

So many of them on the road still too!

[@JSAFIXIT]

Mine has 317k miles! It's rough looking, but it runs very well, the ac is ice cold, and there are very few rattles inside.

[@BernonCars]

I’m glad it’s still chuggin along!!

[@JSAFIXIT]

@@BernonCars You're right about the handling too.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXPNaICfr9Kfpa8

my silver odyssey cloth inteior have 215k miles I want to drive it to the ground. The engine still works swap it into another car those engines are tanks.

[@djditty8012]

Just stumbled upon your video and wanted to say thank you. I have been considering a 02-04 Odyssey but I am very nervous about the transmission issues. I see so many people that haven’t really had a lot of issues or don’t make it out to be the world ending catastrophe that a lot of others make it out to be. Thanks for the great real world review and thoughts! 👍🏼

[@BernonCars]

Thank you! They’re great vans. I would just test drive whichever one you look at for a little longer than normal

[@petergilbert144]

I love these vans and grew up with one. Unfortunately, the wrong battery got put in it and fried the electric systembut if not for that I have no doubt it would have still been bulletproof now 2 decades later.

[@BernonCars]

Sad! It would absolutely still be running, no doubt

[@SgtSnazzerino]

Not a big minivan guy but I would totally drive the Odyssey. I still prefer the look of the first generation but the 2nd gen is far superior due to its V6 engine.

[@BernonCars]

Right on!

[@bradleymeyer9775]

Second generation Honda Odysseys my personal favorite minivan. I also like the 1997-2003 Toyota Sienna.

[@CRAPO2011]

Exhaust on the 1999-2004 odyssey was definitely more snarly sounding than the more quiet 2005-2010. Acceleration was a bit quicker than the 2005+ as horsepower was nearly the same with added weight .

[@BernonCars]

Makes sense

[@BruceLudwick]

Miss this van. Had an '03 EX-L with everything but navigation. Sold it at 215k because I was scared of the mileage. Have a 3rd gen Sienna now and honestly prefer the 2nd gen Odyssey. And yes, the transmission will grenade. Ours had ours replaced at like 120k; you just plan to change the transmission fluid out every 2nd or 3rd oil change. Great vid!

[@BernonCars]

Damn, yeah these are worth the extra love they need! Thank you!!

[@bradleymeyer9775]

The one my family had didn’t have the entertainment system. It also didn’t have the navigation system. It was a basic EXL.

[@pranavghantasala6808]

My parents bought one of these just days before I was born. That car was my whole childhood. I wonder where it is now…

[@TheBehemothHyper]

Hey man I like these vans! I'm hoping to get a 2003 Odyssey for myself. Sounds weird but I do want one. I plan on getting a Sixth gen Civic too

[@TheBehemothHyper]

I also was watching videos of your 3rd gen Odyssey. Odessa was a good Odyssey. One thing I do find interesting about the 3rd gen Odyssey is the sound of when the power doors start beeping. I'm sure Odyssey's have that lol. I wish u kept Odessa. I do like that second gen Odyssey, second gen Odyssey is my favorite generation. I wonder who owns that van in the video?

[@BernonCars]

They're good vans! I have friends with vans haha. Whatever makes you happy!

[@BernonCars]

This was my friend's mom's old van. Odessa was great but maintenance costs were getting up there, and we didn't need a van anymore.

[@CRAPO2011]

Gauges were similar to 1998-2002 accord but font is supersized. Timing belt/Water pump interval is 105k/7 years as per Honda service manual.

[@BernonCars]

Ah yes thanks for sharing

[@thaknobodi]

Ive been living in one for 7 years. Just did the timing belt and transmission flush.

[@BernonCars]

That's crazy! Very cool 😆

Man so far one of the best car reviews I've seen 👌 love it !!! I'm actually bout to buy a 2nd Gen since I've always had town&country's b4 (2nd and 3rd gen) bt now I thinking if it would be a good idea to buy an odyssey and see what's up u know , that's how I got to this video in the first place, thanks 😊

[@thetainttickler0_040]

Concidering buying a 2002 ex-l with 150,000 miles How bad are the transmission issues with these? Did you have to replace the trans at any point to reach the amount of miles on yours ?

[@BernonCars]

The transmissions in these are like glass. I love these vans, but this one has had 3 or 4 transmission’s over the years

[@CRAPO2011]

I believe the Nav debuted on the 2000 Ody* Back when these were going for way over MSRP

love your reviews and music is great too :)
