I think overall, I never thought I would own a minivan. However, with two kids under eight and two aging parents, I needed a vehicle that was low to the ground, could hold a lot of luggage, and could easily fit sixÐseven people on a road trip. I also needed entertainment options. With the age of my Honda Odyssey, I wish it had Bluetooth, an automatic liftgate, and a back-up camera, but it wasn't available at the time we bought it (it was a turned in three-year lease vehicle when we bought it). However, it had a DVD player, which by far was the most important feature for a family on road trips, and it was in great condition after three years of lease usage. It was a very quite ride, easy to handle, and I never had to worry about my kids hitting other cars with their doors. After riding in a Toyota Sienna, I knew I liked the comfort of my Odyssey. The interior is nicer in my opinion, and the trunk is much easier to put the seats completely down. Besides the "extras" that I listed above, this is one of the best vehicles I have ever had purely as it meets every need for my family.

We bought our Odyssey for traveling back and forth to home; about 1,000 miles. Lots of leg room. The DVD player works great. Comes in handy when traveling a long distance. Radio and CD player works good also. The trunk space is good. Have more than enough room when moving especially after taking out the 2nd row of seats. My husband is very timely regarding oil changes and check-ups which keeps the engine runs smoothly. There isn't anything we dislike about it. It's been running good for 8 years.
