Honda Odyssey — Does not feel like you're driving a van. Awesome acceleration, almost like a sports car. Never needed anything but routine maintenance, aside from a couple manufacturer recalls, fixed by dealer with no hassle. Exterior in good shape. Interior ergonomically designed, holding up well. Only issue with interior is that it's light colored, and shows every single mark and stain. My fault for choosing tan interior. Good gas mileage for a van. Husband absolutely did not want a van, but even he admits that he likes driving it. A must when you have children.

Pros

Everything is attractive, functional, safety is a priority, surprising acceleration for entering highways and changing lanes, easy handling, good braking, super convenient controls front and back, a real luxury car with tremendous cargo and passenger space.

Cons

I really have no complaints, sorry.

Best Of Class For A Minivan For Comfort And Convenience. — The car is fun to drive, I think of it more as a car than as a van when I am driving. When I have to move things around town, furnishings, large loads or just a full car of kids and adults, then is when I appreciate that its a van. In addition, on road trips for camping or long trips, there is nothing like it for getting everything we need into the car or on the roof rack and keeping the kids occupied in the back while we enjoy adult time upfront.

Honda Odyssey — Good acceleration and handling... for a minivan. Hauls a lot of stuff, but the run flats kill cornering. Decent build quality and fairly fuel efficient. Couldn't live with out the rear seat entertainment system. Carried the family in comfort for 900 miles to Disney World last week

A Nice Family Van — Overall satisfied with this vehicle and happy we purchased it with the Nav and DVD system. It has been a very good car for the many long trips that we take as it has lots of room and lots of space for lugage etc. Mechanically it has been a great car - normal wear and tear. It has been "recalled" a bunch however. We have enjoyed this car, but it is hard to drive in tight spaces and park.

Awesome Van — This van is very roomy and handles like a car. Has plenty of get up an go for passing and gets decent mpg. Honda has problems with transmission with several year model Ody's and would say that is the biggest con i have or see with the van

My Odyssey — Easy to handle, good quality but has noisy brakes. Would prefer cup holder and tray option for center, first row seats. Love they style. Gas mileage is good. Keep oil changed and tires rotated regularly. Power steering pump need replaced. Love my Odyssey!
