Good intro to minivan ownership - 2009 Honda Odyssey
By dad2be - October 14 - 2:45 pmWeve had this van for about 6 months now and are very satisfied with our purchase. Just got back from a 3000 mile road-trip to Florida and averaged the EPA stated 23 mpg with a full load. At purchase time, we got almost $6000 off of MSRP (when deals were good prior to cash for clunkers) which certainly influenced our decision and I still think it is a great value. No mechanical problems to date. I read through some other reviews and folks mention the road noise and the way the transmission shifts. Nothing that bothers our family, but do take a long test drive with a mix of city and highway roads before purchasing any vehicle - dont assume youll love it just because its a Honda...

Soccer Dad - 2009 Honda Odyssey
By Alan - October 2 - 5:11 pmA++++ , First ever Mini in my life, looked at Sienna & others stopped once I drove this one. Its not really a van , more like a car. Dealership did an excellent price as well, no others would come this low price wise for less quality. Roomy, classy and you can still look like a cool guy...lol. My boys love it , lots of storage for sports stuff and as my oldest says "wow there are a lot of cup holders".

First Time Van Owner - 2009 Honda Odyssey
By bad_dog205 - October 1 - 12:34 amWe bought this vehicle with a 2400 mile Disney World trip in mind. It practically drove itself there and had us convinced we were in a luxury sedan. Driving feel was sporty. Mileage was 23 mpg despite using a/c even while parked often and driving 65-80 mph. At home its closer to 16 mpg. Our son runs to get in and has never mentioned the SUV (he used to love so much). My wife hated to buy a minivan but fights over who gets to drive it next.

Back to a van after years away - 2009 Honda Odyssey
By Allavalons - September 13 - 8:25 amI have had 3 other vans (all Chryslers) which had turned to go to all cars back in 2000. I decided to try one more time and I have been pleasantly surprised. The Ody is really comfortable, is solid as a rock, no rattles, quiet, and with the rear camera has great visibility. The disappearing 3rd row is great and the rear well when the seat is up provides an excellent space for loads of packages, suitcases etc. The mileage is at the top end of the EPA estimate and has exceeded the estimate on several recent trips, verified by actual calculation not just the trip computer. The leather seats are the most comfortable and supportive Ive had in a vehicle under $50,000.

Good choice! - 2009 Honda Odyssey
By teresa - August 27 - 8:28 amHad a 2006 odyssey lease. Love the new EXL with auto tailgate. Researched many models and bought the best! Got a very fair price and good dealer experience. Also great for traveling, holds everything for a months vacation. Also like our color choice which is dark cherry. Very pleased with our purchase.

So far so good... - 2009 Honda Odyssey
By Christy - August 7 - 11:02 pmWell, I never thought Id say it, but I love my new minivan! Ive only had it a week, but I dont know how I got along without it before. The power sliding doors and tailgate are awesome. It is so easy to get my kids in and out of the car now. The carseats are easy to configure and install in this vehicle. My babys infant seat fits perfectly behind my seat, even with seat back to accommodate my longer legs length. So far, my only complaint is that there is only one 12V outlet in the front of the van, so I cant charge my Garmin and cell phone at the same time. My previous ride was a 2006 Pilot and I had three outlets within arms length. Despite this, Im still lovin my new Ody!

Third and Goal - 2009 Honda Odyssey
By Third Odyssey - July 23 - 12:49 amWe are on our third Odyssey and will likely go for a fourth. The 09 Touring has great features and functionality and keeps on getting better compared to our 04 and 05. Road noise is non-existent, fuel economy is 22 city and 28 highway. The radio is well placed and logical and the nav has everything including a compass. I paid 40% off of the $42K sticker due to dealer hunger. First time I have felt good about my purchase price.

And he swore we wouldnt by a minivan... - 2009 Honda Odyssey
By Luvmydaughter - July 22 - 10:50 amThis is my second Honda Odyssey. My first was a 2003 Odyssey EX. I have had a history of selling my cars after 2-3 years. My last Odyssey I had over 6.5 years-130,000 miles with nothing wrong with it. Only scheduled service. My husband also swore HE would never buy a Honda OR a minivan. When I was pg with my first child he was completely SOLD with the Odyssey- enough to get him to buy a Pilot a year later. SO when we got the new one it was a no brainer. I didnt even have to shop the market. The leather interior is beautiful. The basics are the same as the 2003 but they made it more luxurious and FUN! Wouldnt trade it for the world!

Great family car - 2009 Honda Odyssey
By H Patel - July 21 - 9:21 pmGreat family car with excellent mileage. Gave about 27 mpg when driven to Niagara from Columbus. Love the leather and interior design. Automatic back door and sliding doors are must have feature for minivans. Paid 28,750 OTD price with 2.9% APR! Cant beat the price with the standard features that comes with this minivan while comparing with other vans...!
