For a van, the performance of this model is wonderful. It drives with responsiveness yet is very smooth; as an added bonus, the seat give a sense of height and comfort even over long trips. I appreciate the dark gray color of the Odyssey—as a dad driving it, it doesn't feel like the stereotypical "minivan" experience.

It would be nice if I had been able to get a model with back-up camera, GPS or video player. Other than that, I have been really happy with it. It's a comfortable ride, good mileage, minimal repairs and plenty of interior space. Seats fold down or even come out if you need to haul things. They recline right back if kids need to sleep on a road trip. Pressing a button to open the sliding side doors is very useful.
