2007 Honda Odyssey -
This is a wonderful family vehicle. The Gas Mileage is very good and the maintenance costs have been reasonable. It is a very solid vehicle without rattles and the doors close solidly. It is comfortable, quiet and seats six adults easily. The storage capacity is great and with the seats folded down this van can haul a lot of stuff. The seats fold up and down easier than other vans we have owned in the past.
Story
I get teased a lot by my male friends as I am a man who drives a minivan but that is OK. It is perfect for my day to day uses.
Pros
It is very comfortable and roomy. Sits six adults easily. The interior is nicely designed. We have had very little maintenance expenses.
Cons
No power lift on the rear door. No automatic head lights that automatically turn on when car is running. No "Aux In" port on stock stereo.
2012 Honda Odyssey - Excellent first car to family car
I've had this car for five years. It was the car I learned to drive in. It has served many purposes--from teaching me to drive, taking me to college, and now, hauling my small family around town. I love my Odyssey! I've put nearly 100,000 miles on it. I expect it to last another 3-5 years.
Story
As previously mentioned, it took me to and from Walla Walla University. It surprises me, but this van is great for road trips. I've taken it through national parks, to visit extended family, and to boarding school. I call it my soccer mom starter kit.
Pros
With the seats down in the back, and the captains chairs in the middle out, the entire contents of one girl's dorm room fit snugly. Seating for six passengers. The captains chairs in the middle comfortably accommodate adult passengers. The frame is very sturdy -- I've been in a few accidents, and it still doesn't rattle very much.
Cons
The turn radius isn't as sharp as one would expect. I avoid U-turns at stoplights because I sometimes have to put the van in reverse to complete the turn. The CD anti-theft lock is easily set and won't eject the disc without the code. This has been super annoying. The bumpers could use a little more cushion--in that they are very easily dinged.
