This van is absolutely comfortable to drive, especially long distances- when the grandparents are 8 hours away, its a must! Wonderful for carting small children around a lot- 2 toddlers in a out, while grocery shopping- those auto-open side doors are great, and being able to open the windows on the way to the car in the dead heat of summertime, fabulous. The fold down rear seating is amazing for grocery shopping or packing in things for the beach, or traveling with those same small people- little kids require so much stuff when we go places! We've had almost no problems with it- the driver's side sliding door has a sticking hiccup, but otherwise we've had no problems. Handles great; the control buttons on the steering wheel are placed very intuitively and are easy to use while driving. The only thing that seems to be missing is an aux/Bluetooth plug, which is a bit of a pain in the age of smartphones, but there is a 6-cd changer, which I love. There's plenty of little storage spaces, and the lazy Susan in the middle, under the floor, is amazing!!! I would buy this van over and over and over again, and I always swore I would NEVER drive a minivan.

When my 2008 Honda Odyssey was totaled in an accident, I knew I had to have another one just like it. It has all l the bells and whistles I would expect to find in a luxury car plus the "large family" features to keep the children happy on long trips. It has more room in the "way back" than the GMC Suburban we had considered. Lots of pockets, DVD player, GPS, as well as the Honda reliability sold us on this vehicle. I couldn't find a replacement vehicle with the same low miles as the one that was totaled. I wasn't afraid to buy a high mileage replacement, though. The Honda we had before the 2008 is still running at over 300k miles!
