I never wanted to be a minivan mom, but I fell in love with the Honda Odyssey after driving my friends van and had to have one myself. It gets great mileage. The automatic sliding doors are a must for anyone with children. The radio and cruise controls on the steering wheel are so helpful. The only con is that the trunk is not automatic or remote controlled.

I bought our Honda Odyssey in 2004 and have driven it almost everyday. It currently has over 200,000 miles on it.
