Great vehicle, very reliable.

Great vehicle, never had any issues. As usual, Honda hit a home run again. Sold at 74k and still ran like new. Don't have kids anymore or would have kept the van.

The Extremely Reliable Odyssey

This car has the right space for our growing family. The high-tech features the Odyssey provides are extra convenient for our young kids and the leather in our model makes upkeep easy with messy hands. The handling on the Odyssey is surprisingly good for a minivan, and the V6 engine definitely delivers on our needs, even with a full vehicle. Some of the extra features, such as HomeLink, Back-Up Camera, etc also enrich our family experience. Highly recommend the Odyssey for anyone needing bigger space, and while it's more expensive than other market options, we find it worth it, especially with a normally used vehicle.

Easiest Family Car to Drive

I loved owning this minivan. It handled great, was easy to pack with two kids, two dogs, and two bulky car seats. Easily seated three adults in the third row. Great on road trips. Biggest drawback was it only had one USB port and it was in the glove box. Did have plenty of power outlets and cup holders. Very easy to move seats or remove seats for carrying larger loads.

Extremely reliable vehicle. Honda did it agai�!

I drove SUVs for years. I don't know what made me decide to try a minivan but it was a great decision. It serves all my needs and then some.

Most comfortable and best looking van ever!

This van meets the needs of our large family. With six children still home we were worried we would not fit comfortably; boy were we wrong! The gas mileage is phenomenal!

The best car I have ever owned

The Odyssey Elite Van comes with all the bells and whistles--- seats 8---has lots of cargo space---gets great gas mileage and has only cost $900 to drive 85,000 miles (new tires and brake pads) This car is in such good shape that I really think it could go 300,000 miles It runs and drives like new. I haven't even thought about a new car To Honda's credit they are making the cars that last

A great mini Van

I owned a top of the line Sienna, but wanted to move up to the current generation. I loved the Sienna, it was just getting old. After much research, I chose the current generation Odyssey Touring Elite over the Sienna Limited, largely due to better quality interior materials, ride, and handling. I am extremely pleased with my choice.
