I like the fact the Odyssey has side curtain airbags. It also has plenty of seats and if you have all of them filled you still have plenty of room for each person. There are separate controls for each persons heat/air comforts so no more one kid being hot and the other cold, they can control that themselves. There is plenty of storage for emergency supplies so they aren't in the way at any time. The seats are heated leather, I have back issues and drive a lot so the heat eases my back pain and makes it bearable to drive for hours like I need to. The doors are electronic and I'm not crazy about that feature. Where it is getting a little age on it they get stuck and have to be reset every once and awhile. The interior is light grey and is hard to keep stain-free with children. I don't like the VSA system at all if we go over a road that is too bumpy it kicks on and messes with the transmission and I have to limp it to flat ground and reset the system. All in all its a good van but my favorite feature besides the 6 cd changer is the fact that if I need to haul something all I have to do is fold the back row of seats into the floorboard I don't have to take the seats out to make room. It's GREAT

I acquired my van second hand but it still rides like brand new, and its an 02. Its the deluxe one with the heated leather seats, they make me feel all fancy, and the power side doors on both sides, which is extremely helpful in this day of decreasing parking. I am impressed with the inclusion of multiple environment comfort zones. Do you know how awesome it is to be able to give my passengers air with out freezing myself? The only things that I would change would be to add in the stereotypical dvd player and hd screens in the head rests because I do have a daughter and they are a God send for those long difficult days. Overall I am thoroughly satisfied with my van. I fully intend on purchasing another one when I need to pick up my next vehicle.

I love my Honda Odyssey! We were excited about the addition of twins to our family but needed a vehicle upgrade ASAP because the car seats didn't fit in my sedan. We can very easily fit two rear facing car seats in the middle and back rows. I love that we can remove the center seat of the middle row to allow for more storage when travelling, but I like to have that middle seat there when we're driving around town so I can sit in the back with the babies while my husband drives. We can easily fit the large double stroller in the trunk along with groceries. The back seats fold flat very easily and quickly; I can even do it with just one hand. My hands are usually full, so the automatic sliding doors and automatic trunk door have been life savers for me especially when I'm taking the twins somewhere by myself. The leather seats are top quality and still look like new even after 15 months of wear and tear from children. I was worried about going from a small car to a minivan and thought it would be difficult to drive, but that was not the case. I still feel like I'm driving a small car. I feel very safe in the van and know that if I'm in an accident my kids and I will be safe because of the high safety rating. I have comfortably fit 6 kids (3 of them in car seats) and 2 adults in the van. It's a great family vehicle!
