I bought my 2008 Honda Odyssey about two years ago from a car dealership. The car had been owned before by someone who drove a lot of interstate miles, so while the car had a lot of miles, it had minimal wear and tear, and the interior was really clean. I looked at a lot of minivans throughout my car searching experience, but I went with a Honda because I liked its long-term reliability and dependability.

I leased the 2013 Honda Odyssey. I have found that this vehicle is an excellent product but has a modest price. We liked it so much that we decided to buy out our lease. I have driven it over 30,000 miles without any mechanical or electrical problems. In fact, we took it to have the brakes changed. Our mechanic told us that the brake pads were still efficient and that we wouldn't need brakes for some time. We love how versatile the seating arrangement can be. We have 3 children. One child is in a booster seat and one in a car seat. In some vehicles this may pose a problem, not in the Odyssey! We have been able to configure the seating in several ways depending on our needs. We may need to transport luggage for a long trip. We may be transporting bikes to go riding at the park. We may need to transport our pets with us. Any way you look at it, the Odyssey fits the bill. I especially love the stow and go feature! Any moms out there need to transport a double stroller? I can tell you from experience that it will fit easily in the cargo storage along with a weeks worth of groceries!
