"We like this car a lot and as we bought it just off lease, we got a slightly older vehicle with low miles. One thing I underestimated when I bought this car was the importance of the Honda certified warranty. We are so glad we bought a vehicle w/this as a bunch of little things went wrong in the first week we took it home. But since then, we've gone on long road trips with it and have enjoyed the comfort of this van."

"We have owned the Touring edition of the Odyssey for over three years now. We have had to replace the OEM tire, batteries, brakes, and other items that are typical. There have been absolutely no major issues or signs of issues to come. We have take a couple of long vacations in this van and have used it as the family van for all occassions. I cannot imagine a better mode of transport. The kids love the DVD. The Nav is good. Comfort is great. The resale value of this vehicle is awesome and makes this more of an investment than other types of vans."

"This van has tons of room. The back seats fold down flat and the storage area is very deep when the third row is up. There are 8 cup holders in the front seat area. Any guy can appreciate that. We did buy it used, so there were some very minor issues that were easily fixed. Car handles nicely. Automatic doors are perfect for kids in car seats. Easy in and out. I love this machine."

"We bought a 2008 Odyssey LX in January 2011, and we could not be happier. Our primary criteria was side curtain airbags in all three rows and we got that. The van drives just like every other honda. Its tight and handles well. Of course it is a bit bigger than the civic, so that took some getting used to, but it is a great people/stuff mover. We love the sliding doors on both sides, the 60/40 fold flat third row, the side curtain airbags, and the multiple configurations in the second row. I love that we can move kids and bookshelves at the same time. I love that we can put the kiddy toilet in the way back so we never have to worry about where the bathroom is. If I had it to do over again, I might spring for the EX so we've have the option of a jumpseat in the second row, and the spy on the kids mirror up front, but this is a great great car."

"Very happy with this vehicle. 8 Passanger seating is a plus. Navigation system is very good, voice commands not so much. The only negative, like previous models is that this van burns through tires. Rotate every 6k miles and hope to get 50k out of a set of 4."
