Used 2008 Honda Odyssey for Sale

For the most part, this is a great vehicle for our large family. We have four children, plus occasionally more staying with us. We also have three large dogs. We shuffle our children to various school activities, sporting and family events. The in floor storage is great as well as the back seats that fold into the floor. I wish the back seats folded individually instead of one and two. There have been many times I wish I could separate the children instead of them sitting right next to each other for long trips and still have a seat down for storage. We really like the automatic side doors; however, we have had to replace the motors a time or two. After seven years of heavy use, it has held up well in the interior except for a few cosmetic pieces. Due to the year, it was a little crowded with three car seats when the kids were little. The newer ones are several inches wider and would have fit the seats better. At the time, cost of a newer vehicle was an issue. The safety features are good also. The alarm sounds when the side doors are open and the car is in gear. The sliding doors also sense when something is blocking and open back up.

I've owned my Honda Odyssey for 8 years, and I still won't trade it in. I love the thought put into the design and its simple, classic lines. When entering from the side I can push a button on my key fob and the doors slide open. This is a BIG asset when carrying a child, a dog, or groceries! And when picking up my kid's friends, I can push a button and a door opens allowing them access. Everyone has good leg room, and as an added bonus, the center section are bucket seats! The back bench folds down into the floor, which is handy when we travel, go skiing, or when I pick up flowers for spring planting. And I love that the center aisle middle seat can be taken out when I need to load extra long items such as fence posts, and recently shelving. The Odyssey also carries more bags of feed and shavings for my horse barn than even a Honda Pilot! Gas mileage is excellent. I am able to get 30 mpg on average, which is a money saver. I love the sound system. I plug my iPhone into the speaker port and play books, music and podcasts when I commute, which makes my trips go much faster. But I think the best part is the traction safety feature. I live in Rochester, NY and icy roads are a hazard. I've even been in an accident from one. The Honda Odyssey has kept me fairly safe for a non four wheel drive vehicle. It could be better, but it's actually great for a mini van. All around airbags protect my family, so when I have to go out I know I will make it. Finally, the Odyssey is reliable with a great service staff who fixes anything that has gone amiss since Day 1.
