Sad to see this van go. Very hard to replace.

By johnson (CA) on Wednesday, June 05, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 163,222

Pros: "Love it. Drive it everywhere. No issues ever."

Cons: "Mileage could be better. Wears rear tires out."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8

"What a great van this has been. Never a problem with the drivetrain. In 163k miles I've had to replace the timing belt, adjust the valves, 1 set of spark plugs, 2 batteries, a starter, 1 set of front brakes and a few sets of tires. Trying out an Element next and I'll write another report when I've got almost 200k on it. That's the plan! John"

all purpose comfort

"I bought this after a divorce when I gave up a pickup truck and a large sedan. It's been my camper, town car, pickup truck, and travel vehicle. I'd never had a car with an upscale package (leather heated seats) and privacy windows and other extras. It has been super reliable although I've had a few brake issues that might have just been a poor job of service. It's a van, so mileage is what you would expect, but it's as good as my boyfriend's Subaru Forester. I do hate parking, but I can do it, and every time I think I want a smaller car, I find myself in high speed rush hour traffic and appreciate my safety and the V-6 engine. I may never sell it!"

Best vehicle ever!

By Melissa (PA) on Wednesday, May 15, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 113,000

"I have had this car since 2004, bought brand new and now have had it 9 years. This car is the most reliable I have EVER owned! Nothing beyond routine maintenance has been needed, it starts every time, goes well in the snow (despite being front wheel drive not 4 WD). Fits 7 people (or 5 + 2 dogs) comfortably, along with strollers, bikes, etc. My oldest child, age 8, can still walk through the captains chairs to the third row, now need to move seats! I call it Old Faithful. The DVD system still works well, as does the rest of the stereo system. If not for the newer features on the market now (rear camera, bluetooth, etc.) I would probably never give this car up. My next car will likely be another Honda Odyssey."

Perfect for any growing family

By Eamon (FL) on Saturday, April 27, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 158,000

Pros: "Great value , substantial reliability, endless fun"

Cons: "the second row cup holders are a little far away.."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"I can safely say that I would recommend this car to any large, growing family. The car has been thought through and intelligently designed. I gave this car an overall rating of 9 out of 10 because it is incredibly practical and surprisingly comfortable for both city and highway driving and not that much road or wind noise penetrates the cabin. As far as looks, I think that the interior is fine and the exterior just looks 'sharp'. For the driving dynamics, it has excellent maneuverability in case of an emergency, and its even fun to throw around on the back roads. Don't get me wrong though, it's a minivan, not a Ferrari. I still own this vehicle today and never once has it landed in the shop for more than a tire rotation or oil change. If you don't abuse it and put oil in it every 5,000-7,000 miles, it'll last forever. Let me tell you, this car has terrific, true quality. It isn't entirely made out of plastic like a lot of cars today and it takes quite a bit of effort and time to mess up the interior. Without a shadow of doubt, I definitely got my money's worth out of this car."
