I love my Honda Odyssey! Although it is an older model, my Odyssey has been a great vehicle for our family. The leather interior is wonderful for children and pets. Spills and messes clean right up! Another great feature for kids is the built in DVD player. This helps make long trips bearable for them and us parents. The Odyssey rides very smoothly. Even though it is a minivan, it is easy to maneuver. Having room for seven people is a big plus for our family. With three children, we often end up carrying other kids around with us. Our family takes several long trips each year, and having such a roomy vehicle cuts down on the arguments you would expect. Another thing I love about my Odyssey is the gas mileage. My previous minivans did not get such good mileage and with today's prices, that's a big plus! I really feel safe driving my Odyssey. The front and side air bags give me confidence that we'll be protected if there was an accident. As you can see, I have lots of reasons to love my Odyssey!!

I was so excited to buy my first Honda, but this model missed the mark completely. It has a huge cabin with fold away back seats and removable middle seat making it great for long-distance travel and camping. I can comfortably seat seven passengers which I can see the benefit for some, but I rarely have passengers ever. The side windows don't open at all like the newer models, and my back windows crack open for a draft. The faux leather seats warm up quickly in the winter time and stay cool in the summer time. I have a great view of all points around me when driving, and the wheel handles super well. But, the transmission is notoriously bad on these models. I have driven it for 20k miles, and it has consistently transitioned between gears with progressing difficulty. After doing much needed research, I found the transmission used is just faulty design, and so there really is no saving the thing.
