We bought the 2012 Honda Odyssey off the lot in August of 2012. The local dealership was running a deal on the summer inventory. It already had about 300 miles on it, so it was discounted a little bit more. This is the second minivan I've owned. With kids, we knew we needed a vehicle that could lug a load--car seats, diaper bags, pack n plays--you name it, we needed to lug it. Not only could it store a lot of stuff, you can fold in the back row seats to create about three more feet of space. Storage was never an issue with our Odyssey. The gas mileage got us 19 highway miles per gallon, which is pretty impressive for a six-cylinder vehicle. .

This van is just okay. I was really happy when I found it as it is almost the same as our old one; however, it also had things wrong with it that the dealer hid from us. We have had to replace all four tires and get a door repaired so it opens. It has water build up in one of the lights as well as peeling paint in a few places and a messed up screen on the side.
