I was on vacation when my old van broke down, and I had to buy a new one in an emergency. I ended up with a 2007 Honda Odyssey. I was pleasantly surprised at the overall comfort, look, and quality of the vehicle. It rides smoothly and has many features that I really enjoy. I would recommend a Honda Odyssey to others who are looking for a solid minivan.

I have a Honda Odyssey Touring and have really been thankful. We found it at a great price. It is a great family car and drives so smoothly. I often don't even realize when I creep over the speed limit. We have children, so I insisted on leather interior, and I am so glad I did! The quality of the leather has really impressed us. It is also so easy to clean! The heated seats were one of those luxury add-ons -- but we have used them so much! The air conditioner and heaters are awesome also. At the time of the purchase, we thought we needed the rearview cam, but I have been pretty disappointed in the quality of picture we get with it. I cannot see much of anything, and it is in black and white. I rarely use it and wish we had skipped that feature and will next time when we trade it in with the dealership in a couple years. I rarely use the sunroof, but it has come in handy opening it slightly to get some white noise from the wind to put the kids to sleep in the last quarter of a long, family trip. Overall, it's been a very reliable vehicle, and we have not needed to put it through too many repairs. There are only two complaints I have of the vehicle that we have not addressed: The first is one of the air vents stays on heat, and I have to take the whole car temp down to the lowest setting for that vent to come off heat. It's not too big of a deal but a bit annoying on an already hot summer day to have heat blasting on one vent when you get in your car. The second complaint -- and probably the most bothersome -- would be the rubber lining on the exterior part of the car above tire area as well as rubber lining on the sides of the doors are coming off in three places. The glue is not sufficing, and I have yet to research if this is normal for this particular vehicle, but I have a feeling I'm not the only one that is or has dealt with this annoyance. Despite those two things, If you have a family with more than two or more kids, I definitely recommend the 2007 Honda Odyssey Touring -- it's spacious, and the DVD player is awesome too!
