My husband and I purchased my Honda in 2014. Since our purchase we have been incredibly happy with it. We have had no mechanical issues so far. There are quite a few aspects I appreciate about my van. Last year while I was making a cross country move from California to Virginia with two dogs, a cat and a kid, it proved really versatile. It has the best gas mileage of any vehicle I've ever owned. While driving cross country I got it up over 35 mpg several times.

I love this car. Initially, I was hesitant to get a minivan because I did not want to drive a "mom" car. However, after the birth of the twins the SUV we had just could not fit all the things that we need to go anywhere. When I drive the Odyssey, I do not feel like I am driving a large car and the handling is great. Feels more like I am driving a car than when I drove the SUV. It fits everything that I need for car trips to the beach, shopping trips to Costco, and transporting all kinds of things that you think you would need a truck for. Most importantly to me also was the safety rating and the ease in placing car seats. Easily can fit 3+ rear facing car seats. The only negative is the navigation system and media control system. I end up using my phone and an app rather than the navigation provided because it is too difficult to quickly input destinations.
