I haven't had a minivan in 30 years, but with four grandchildren to transport, it was one of the options I had. I test drove a few but settled on the Odyssey. I drove different levels of Odyssey, but the higher end with the leather seats was definitely more comfortable. One of the deciding factors was the removable eighth seat and the magic slide seats. It is so easy to reconfigure that middle row even my five-year-old grandson can move his seat where he wants it. The seats are easy to accommodate four car seats. The back row can easily flip down to make room for more storage. I love the large screen in the front and the fact that it can all sync with my cell phone. The maps appear on the large screen and are easy to see. One of the features I haven't figured out is the automatic door locking system. Sometimes it looks itself, and sometimes it doesn't. It gives you multiple beeps if it's not locking itself, but I can't figure out why it does sometimes and not others. The other feature with a glitch is the sliding door. Sometimes if the car is running, the door will not close, and you have to turn the car off, close the door and restart the car. I also like the blind spot indicator. The whole time a car is in your blind spot it is illuminated on the door panel. If you put on your turn signal to pull out and that is illuminated, it beeps to warn you.

So much space it's hard to max out the seating capacity of this thing! Amazing tech features and handles like a car. No other minivan can take a turn like the Odyssey. By far the best vehicle to haul lots of humans and still be fun to drive. The 2018 Honda Odyssey is being hailed as the most family-friendly minivan in the world, and there is no doubt that it is one of the safest and most fun minivans to drive.
