We started looking at vans and quickly found this one. It was older than I was thinking about going, but it looked really clean in the pictures and it had all the features we were looking for. When we got to the dealership, we were blown away. This van was immaculate, well maintained, and the dealer had even done the upcoming routine maintenance. The van itself is a high-end Honda. It's like driving a large luxury car, but without any floaty feeling. The ride is excellent, the interior is super comfortable, and its really easy to drive. Overall we've loved the van so far and we look forward to keeping it for many years to come, I mean, it's a Honda so it should last forever.

Reliable, smooth ride. Here's a few pointers: 1. Rear passenger spring Bushing wears out fast because it disintegrates due to the exhaust heat. It'll make a little clunk noise over slow bumps, easy to change and doesn't affect anything if you can live with it. 2. Transmissions are weak, highly advise to perform a drain and fill every year or two. Very simple, takes 20min and use valvoline maxlife atf. 3. Noisy cabin on highway 4. Disassemble and lubricate the brake components every 2 years and your brakes will last forever. 5. Those living in the north, the metal transmission line that goings into the bottom of the radiator gets rusted. Sometimes you can get to it from under if the bolts are not too corroded, otherwise you may have to pull the rad to replace it. Not a huge deal. Make sure you keep the plastic under engine cover. 6. Annoying to have to change the timing belt every 8yr or 160k km. Cost about thousand bucks. 7. Oil spray with krown or equivalent to make the van last forever. 8. The white paint is defective and will eventually peel. Honda extended this warranty for a couple years longernbut our van is now 11yr old, way out or warranty.

Excellent large family vehicle

If you have a large family, this vehicle is for you! Actually bought this in December, 2012. Between all the sports practices and school runs daily, this van didn't disappoint. It is a pleasure to take on those long vacation destinations, it's the most convenient car I've owned. The large automatic sliding doors make drop offs and pickups effortless. This vehicle doesn't just stop at a great people mover, it doubles as an enclosed pickup truck. As our kids grew and started to go out on their own, we were able to remove all the 2nd row seats, and drop down the 3rd row seats and it doubled as a box truck to move all their belongings. So, as my wife and I turn 60 this year, and we are seeing our youngest graduate college, we have 1 last 500 mile move to NC. This van has been much more than transportation for my family, many memories have come from the last 10 plus years in this vehicle. My wife and I have no plans on moving to a different vehicle even though all the kids have grown and moved out on their own. We find the van is very easy getting in and out of, the seats are comfortable and my wife likes that she is sitting higher in the van than in a car. Now for an honest review of the mechanics of the car over the past 10 years. Yes, brakes early on were definitely an issue with warping, but I have since been able to find better aftermarket rotors and pads that help with the longevity of the brakes. Also had front suspension noise that the dealer could never find. At 125,000 miles I had all the struts and bushings replaced and then the car felt brand new after that. We did start developing paint coming off the roof and rear tailgate, so the dealer did take care of painting that for us under warranty. (Color is pearl white) The car now has almost 160,000 miles and running strong with no signs of major issues.

IF you have to drive a minivan this is the one to

SO, no one lays awake at night dreaming of their new minivan, right? A BMW 5 series, yes! A minivan, not so much. THat being said, I needed a minivan, I insisted on a degree of luxury and comfort combined with good handling and economy at the gas station. THis car did it all. Overall I averaged 24mpg in 55k miles of driving. Easily got 29-31mpg on the highway. Admittedly I am not a lead-foot. For my everyday commute it was fine. Where it really shone was trips to Costco and family treks. I could get all four of my kids and my wife and travel in comfort with the fantastic extra wide DVD entertaining them. I loaded up all my CD's on the harddrive for unlimited listening options. THe Nav display is recessed so it doesn't get direct sun glare. I would definitely recommend it as the best minivan option for someone who needs one. As for winter driving, the forward traction 2WD was pretty good and I made it better by switching to snow tires during the cold months.

I was looking for a reliable minivan with ample space, high reliability and high resale value. The Odyssey clearly delivers in that space and surprised me with great performance and decent mpg - I get about 27 MPG on average. From that view and the resale value, its an economical choice, even though Odysseys got rather expensive. $38K for a mid-level model is rather pricey for what you get in the end and when you look at the cheap plastics that are used throughout the car. The tech in the car is surprisingly mature. The most annoying feature is without doubt the auto-lock of doors. I cant remember how often I run out to the garage and only find all doors, except the drivers door, locked.
