This has been my first time owning a mini van. For the past few years I have owned an SUV, but with a new baby coming we need more room. For a van, this Odyssey runs quiet and has lots of room. The interior is leather and has lots of gadgets. We have had the dog in the car and so far with his claws the interior has not been scratched. The vehicle comes with a remote start button and also with buttons for the automatic doors for the trunk and back seats. We did not get the model with the vacuum. The vehicle comes with sensors that alert you when you are too close to someone in the front and also along the side of the vehicle. They have come in handy on occasions since I drive on the highway a lot. There is a cooling box for drinks in the vehicle but it doesn't get very cold. I think it just prevents thing from getting warm.

I previously had a CRV so with the Odyssey, I was worried about having a bigger vehicle. So far I think it is a great van. It has good pick up for a minivan. I don't feel like I have to really push the engine to go. The model I have has a back up camera and extra safety features. One time a car pulled in front of me without signaling and the car beeped to let me know that I was too close to someone. It also beeps when I am too close to someone on the side. The seats fold all the way down in the back making it easy to haul stuff. I am having another baby and we bought a bassinet and a swing already put together and they easily fit in. I have a electronic key and automatic start and so far I have had no issues with it. Both sides of the back doors and trunk open automatically with the key. I have only driven it for 1,000 miles. When I first got it there was a burning smell from the engine the first day but since then I have had no issues. I wish the vehicle design was a little bit more sporty so it doesn't have that "soccer mom" vibe to it. It comes with a touchscreen screen for audio and comes linked with Pandora and XM radio. Overall, it has worked as well as it says it would with all the features.
