My 16th birthday is in 3 months. I had a choice between having my dad's 2005 Honda CRV or my mom's 2000 Honda Odyssey. I chose the odyssey, it's set in stone that that's my vehicle. I love this van so much it's roomy and powerful. My concern is reading/researching all the problems with the 1999-2004 Odyssey's transmissions. Our Odyssey has only 99,500 miles and has a strong transmission, as of now. We have done all our maintenance, with the exception of tires, with Honda and have all the paper work. I LOVE THIS VAN. I don't want to loose my van, yes I call it mine, but if the transmission breaks we don't have the money now to fix it. Thoughts? Should I risk it, what's the likely hood of it lasting 200,000 miles.
