a very nice van and i am happy with it but the fuel ecomomy is far from what it should be and i drive very easy with it and i am only getting 17 mpg in 50/50 city/highway and on a 5 hr. trip on all highway the best i could get with cruise at 70 was 25. i expected better. gas mileage is my biggest problem i have with this van it is rated to be 20/28 the best of any minivan and it is not getting that .

This van is exceptional. The ride and performance are great. The interior features are full of nice surprises. The DVD is good, but the Navigation System is spectacular. Honda reliability and high resale value cannot be beat, not by Toyota, Nissan, etc. You can't go wrong purchasing this van.

This's a fun and powerful van with overall nice built quality. Few complaints are: 1) Road noise. It's bad enough that I don't enjoy my CDs during my travel any more so I shut it off. 2) The Honda's "gate logic" transmission which shift down as soon as you lift off the gas. I am sure there is a purpose but it's annoying as if shifts down mostly when you don't want it to. 3) It's a 5 speed but you can't shift to 4th gear, like going down a hill where 3rd gear is too low. 4) The famous brake grinding problem that Honda, after a year, still can't figure out how to fix yet. 5) Lots of little noise everywhere in the cabin which I was able to fix myself with felts. Regardless, I'll buy it again.

The head rests are tilted forward enough to muss up my wifes hair - she turned them around and is now happy, but i dont know how effective the now are.-------------The merry go round under the floor in the middle sec. Is completely worthless. I removed mine and it is for sale [unused] for a cheap price.---------One of the tires lost most of its air in 45 days, two times. They had to replace the cast wheel, it had a very small defect. A fine car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
