The Honda Odyssey is a great minivan. Being a Honda, it has great overall quality. There have been virtually no engine problems, it runs great (even after 120k miles) and is just a solid vehicle. Riding inside is extremely comfortable. The leather seats make for a great ride, and there is plenty of room all around. I have easily had 7 adults in there and there was not much complaining. On top of being a person carrier, I have used the Odyssey for hauling many things. My main reason for buying it was to transport kids to/from college. I'm always amazed at how much stuff I can squeeze into the rear of the van. I also have used it for hauling many large things. Recently I replaced some plywood on my garage and I was able to get a full sheet(there were several, actually) into the rear of the vehicle. Tons of room.

This is a wonderful car for a family with lots of space. It can transport seven people with plenty of room for luggage. It is also possible to reconfigure the seats—the back seats go down, making a flat space in back, and the middle seats can be removed making an even larger flat space to accommodate large items or multiple items (e.g. moving kids to college!). My ten-year-old Odyssey averages about 20 mpg with day-to-day driving and does a little better on the highway. It hasn't had any major problems yet with over 130,000 miles on it. Being an older car, it doesn't have a place to plug in an MP3 player and doesn't have built-in GPS or Bluetooth.
