  Best minivan in the market by far - 2008 Honda Odyssey
  By JUSTIN BRIGGS - September 23 - 10:13 pm

  Ive put apx 8,000 miles on my ODY and not a single complant. It has plenty of power on demand and goes on ECO mode when cruising. DVD player is a must have on those longer trip for the kids. Quality is suprior in its class. I will buy another ODY, No questions ask. Hondas will always be the top contender in its class, just read consumer reports. Never a let down year.

  Great Minivan - 2008 Honda Odyssey
  By shoop05 - June 23 - 10:10 pm

  Honda makes a great minivan that is powerful, comfortable, stylish and reliable. This vehicle has a very tight fit and finish, very low road noise and great creature comforts. The interior of the van has all the features that make it feel like a luxury car and the exterior is sharp looking. Overall the van outperforms it competition.

  Great van, Chrysler gas mileage - 2008 Honda Odyssey
  By Redlinez - September 22 - 12:40 pm

  Weve had the van a few months now, love driving it and the kids love it. Great seats, stereo, handling, and power. The interior plastic scratches easily, the gas mileage with stop and go has stayed at 17.5-18.5 period. My Town and Countrys averaged 19. That is about the only gripe I have. Love the ipod plug in.

  3rd Honda, 1st minivan - 2008 Honda Odyssey
  By chars79 - September 18 - 1:40 pm

  We had debated a mini van for a long time. We purchased a 2006 Civic Hybrid prior to starting foster care...that didnt last long. Shopped around and looked at mini vans from Honda, Toyota, and Kia as well as numerous SUVs and crossovers. Decided on a Used Honda Pilot that was a great vehicle but had some odd problems leading up to a bad climate control system that would have been a pain to fix so the dealership returned our money and we were on the verge of just going up to an 2008 Pilot when we stumbled back into the Odyssey on the showroom. Needless to say, we took it out again and were sold. Not sure why I waited so long! Great ride, lots of room, and great style...

  Not what I hoped for - 2008 Honda Odyssey
  By Hammock246 - June 23 - 11:13 pm

  Bought in FL and a trip to Illinois has this thing squeaking in the front end like its falling apart on semi rough roads (most of Illinois). Very hard ride on economy minded tires. Handles very good and comfortable to drive on our 1,200 mile jaunt here. Gas mileage OK at first but now very good at 26.2 mpg for the trip average. A bit noisier then Toyota or Nissan vans Ive had but acceptable. Everything works as advertised if one can read the manual. Lots of toys on this thing. Lots of room and main thing is wife likes it. Easy to get in and out of.

  By John Topi - April 10 - 1:23 pm

  I bought this beautiful van in october. I love the 2008 odysseys solidness and luxury. This van has nothing wrong and at 4000 miles its never had a single problem. If you are looking for a van the Honda Odyssey should be your only option!

  Incredible Car - 2008 Honda Odyssey
  By Scottque - January 31 - 2:13 pm

  We bought a 2008 Touring the week before Thanksgiving. Needless to say we never expected to be thrilled with any minivan, but this is an amazingly well-designed, very sophisticated vehicle. It handles, turns, and rides like a much smaller car, and the interior room, technology, design and versatility are wonderful. The car is simply loaded, and has so many features (bluetooth, voice recognition, navigation, backup camera, DVD) that were not included/available on our more- expensive XC90. Terrific car that us hard to find fault with.

  Great Vehicle - 2008 Honda Odyssey
  By first-timer - December 6 - 9:33 am

  We love our new Odyssey. It has plenty of pickup, and delivers close to 20 MPG in regular driving, meaning some town, some freeway. All freeway were getting close to 25mpg. I think the people getting 13 or whatever have a lead foot or do a lot of stop and go. So far no defects except for a carpet stain that we found after buying it. The dealer cleaned it up, and I think a mechanic probably did it or something. This engine really pushes hard above 3000 revs, and it sounds wonderful doing it. The Sienna felt like a barge next to this, and the Caravan and Chrysler both seemed too "plastic" or something. The Honda fit us great.

  Best in Class Ultimate Family Vehicle - 2008 Honda Odyssey
  By Ken & Mary - November 20 - 4:00 pm

  Honda contiues to impress me. I have been a Honda fan all of my life. From my first mini-bike as a kid to our most recent Odyssey purchase. I checked out the Toyotas, but the Honda cant be beat in styling or ride quality. The 4 wheel independant suspension makes our Odyssey drive like our Accord. The ride extremly quiet, vitually no engine or road noise. My wife and I love listening to XM radio while the kids watch DVDs with the wireless headphones. I know some folks are stuck on their SUV image, but nothing can beat the value or functionality the Odyssey delivers to perfection. Go Honda.

  2008 Odyssey LX - 2008 Honda Odyssey
  By 2008 Odyssey LX - November 15 - 2:46 pm

  Before buying the Honda, I extensively test drove every 2007 and 2008 minivan currently available on the market. Ive only put about 1,000 miles on this van so far, but I am extremely impressed with every aspect of this people hauler. The LX came with everything that I wanted and nothing I didnt. We owned an 05 Accord for a few years and I think the Odyssey handles like an oversized Accord with a better view of the road. Around town mpg is right at 20 so far - no trips yet. I think this is the best van on the market for the money (paid $23,500 plus tax and license). I am rating this against recently test driven and previously owned mini vans, not all vehicles in general. Hope this helps.
