I liked my 2012 Civic better. This one has worse mileage. Feels kind of cheap and rattling. Fan makes a high pitched noise. Other than that, we have owned 4 Civics, 4 CRVs and 2 Accords. My car is reliable. I have 70,000 miles. Still on the original brakes.

I've always been a Honda guy and getting my first car was so exciting. I've driven five or six cars since, and this one still has a place in my heart. Odyssey is rugged enough for country and wintery conditions. It has longevity so even the lower middle class could consider it affordable, and it looked good. It wasn't a perfect car as the interior had some notable issues, but in general, it's still a great model in my sincere opinion. Overall, it performed very well for the majority of the years not requiring tons of maintenance or replacement parts, thank goodness. It held up to the harsh weather and even family vacation trips where driving could extend to three or more days straight. My father drives like a reckless madman, but even he was happy with its performance on the road. As mentioned earlier, the interior had some flaws, and I disliked them. One of my biggest pet peeves was how hard it was to push on the gas. I don't know if this is a model-specific issue, but I've gotten blisters from long road trips because of how hard I'd sometimes need to press the gas on the highway. The exhaust stinks. At a standstill in a traffic jam or very slow traffic on a highway the smell is really bad. This car may not be environmentally friendly just judging from that.
