The Honda got a 2 star and the T & C got 4 stars and the DC got 3 stars. I still chose an Odyssey since I know in the long term the Honda will last > 100 K miles easily whereas the Caravans will start to have problems after 70K. These are from personal experiences with Honda and Chrysler automobiles.

I had a Honda Civic, 1990 that made it to 80k before needing clutch and other items. Prvevious car was 1983 Cavalier with 190k trouble free miles (still with original clutch!!). Try going to the DC Minivan board and reading thru the problems....people with will over 100k miles. You're perpetuating a myth!! With the right treatment, ANY car can make it 250k miles.
 
Interesting....only 2 stars??? Must have to do with all it's problems - poor gas mileage, brake problems, interior trim, power doors, AC condensers, 4 recalls and everything else you can find on these forums!!!

You are confusing JD Power rating with crash tests I believe.
 
Odyssey gets 5 stars all around. The driver's door didn't "fly" open either. I saw the photo and it only opened a bit. No, it shouldn't have but a belted in passenger wouldn't have a problem.
 
I have no idea how JD Power rates anything.

according to JD Power, 2005 Odyssey has an overall rating of 2 star, which is their lowest . This is really shocking! JD Power gave a 5 star rating to 2004 Odyssey. What did Honda do to go to a 2 start from 5 star after (supposed to be) improving over 2004. I am not trying to find all the negative things about Odyssey, but wanted to share and get opinion from all of you. I am (hopefully) going to get my Odyssey next week!
  
Here is the website: http://www.jdpower.com/cc/auto/index.jsp

 
If you have already paid for your Odyssey, it is a little late to worry about the JD Power rating. You should have studied this report *before* buying the vehicle.
 
The 2005 Ody deserves a 2 star rating. Look at all the Quality problems this vehicle has been having. This is the worst new vehicle launch in Honda's history.

We get 13 mpg suburban/city and 21 highway. This seems terrible compared to the 20/28 advertised. Would appreciate if others would share what they get. Thanks.

Are MUCH higher on dealer lots in Salt Lake City area than those of Caravan/Grand Caravan and Town & Country. The Dodge and Chrysler dealers have NO new 2005 minivans on their lots.
      Last time I checked, all Honda dealers had a few Odysseys on their lots.

Yes, "Employee Pricing" has been a very successful sales tool for the "domestics." They are certainly

that JD powerthing is pure BS. Everything is based on their own study????
For sure ody'05 has problems! But I think they are minor. If DC or TW owner need to take comfort from that, let it be!
I know from my exp all vehicles have problems. The recalls or anything else that has been dicussed in these forums are minor. I own Toyota as well as Honda. Both of them have their own problems. Since ody 2005 is a new vehicle and there is a lot of talk and expectation about it. Some has to do with the latest technology adopted. Lot of technology lot of problems. Look at that site for other car/van ratings. I am sure people will have surprizes. That's why people do not check that site may be. I never heard of this site before.
 
anyway one more site to look at I guess! Add more to the confusion.... Welcome to the new way of buying car!
