The sliding doors were a huge selling feature for me because when we purchased the vehicle I was about to give birth to twins. I was a little nervous to drive a bigger vehicle, but adjusted quickly. I have no problem getting in and out of parking spots. I now like how high I sit, and how easy it is to get in and out of. I wish the windows on the sliding doors would open. That is a feature that was added in later models. I have been very happy with my Honda Odyssey.

I like the price of entry into the Honda minivan market: very easy on the wallet at the entry. It comes with plenty of standard features and has tons of room. I like the looks of it too for a minivan. It is pretty modern in its lines and appearance. The fuel mileage and performance is great for hauling a family around with ease. It won't win any races but doesn't need to for what it is. It has performed great over the past five years of use and taken our family on lots of great adventures and trips. We have made many memories in it and look forward to it lasting many more miles and years. I will definitely look to this make and model when it comes time to update or replace. It is worth it and has been a great purchase.
