After our second child was born, I finally convinced my husband that we needed a mini van. We regularly travel hours away to visit out of town family, and the four of us plus our dog needed more room. This van provides ample amount of storage room without sacrificing leg room. It is even big enough to move furniture. We have fit a twin size mattress as well as a full size dresser inside and still had room to shut the back hatch! The in-car entertainment center has been wonderful on those six hour car trips with the kids, and the ability to move the sound to the rear of the car allows my husband and I to have a conversation in the front while the kids can hear their movie. The overall quality and performance of the vehicle exceeds our expectations.

In 2013 we bought a 2010 Honda Odyssey minivan because our family car was totaled, but since we were moving to a family of five, it seemed smart to upgrade to a minivan. It was not as good on gas as our previous Acura, but it is a bigger vehicle so that makes sense. In the last five years, we have not had to do any repairs, just maintenance, till this year, and the repairs were reasonable. It is roomy, has room for our art supplies, our school supplies as we are a homeschool family that travels a lot. We love the moon roof. I love the drop down mirror to be able to see the back of the car.
