  Odyssey Excellent!! - 2009 Honda Odyssey
  By Olavanman - May 18 - 10:22 am

  We just love our 2009 Odyssey EX-L with RES. It feels just like our Accord. Drive: The drive is smooth and comfortable. Accelerates well. Comfort: We just love the leather interior, really comfortable seats. One drawback though is - the Steering Wheel should extend out a little farther for a little more comfort. I am 5-6" and sometimes I find it hard to rest my arms on the arm rest and still be able to grip the steering comfortably. Anyone looking at buying the Odyssey should consider this. Interior Design: We just love the design. The fold-away center tray in the first row is a great thing to have. It makes moving from the front to the back so much easier (especially with kids).

  Love our newly bought Odyssey - 2009 Honda Odyssey
  By Shania - May 11 - 4:06 pm

  We got our first minivan a few days ago after doing research between Odyssey and Sienna for several months. We finally decided to go with Odyssey because of the safety rating, the roomy third row seats and better value for the price. It is really fun driving this car. Though we never drove a big car before, we find it extremely easy and pleasant to drive this car. The whole family loves this car.

  First MiniVan....Love It - 2009 Honda Odyssey
  By chris - May 11 - 1:30 pm

  I originally did not consider a Honda thinking it was going to be too expensive. But after comparing costs with other "less" expensive options the Honda stood out. Exterior has great stylings for a minivan and the interior is roomy and luxurious. Drives like a car. I can hardly wait for my first trip. Auto doors are a feature I never really thought about, but I love them. Whats more the wife and kids love it.

  An Impressive Vehicle - 2009 Honda Odyssey
  By Chrysler Exile - May 5 - 11:38 am

  This vehicle replaced a 2000 Town & Country Limited that literally fell apart on me. I liked the ride a little better on that vehicle, but the Odyssey is extremely well-designed in terms of day-to-day practicality. That even extended to the pre-drilled bolt-holes that allowed me to install a trailer hitch in about a 1/2 hour using only a socket wrench. The Hondas principal drawbacks are that it is noisier than other minivans and the entertainment system is too complicated. Plus, its wider than other minivans, which makes garage parking harder.

  First Honda Owned - 2009 Honda Odyssey
  By Melissa - April 21 - 12:06 pm

  Love it! I have a 2004 Town & County which has been the most unreliable vehicle owned. The T&C does seem to have a more comfortable ride as the Honda has a more "car feel" to the drive. However, the safety ratings and extra space - as well as reliability ratings - makes this a much better investment for the money. The drive in comfortable and the kids love the exterior look - a little sportier than the T&C. We cannot wait to move up to the EX-L or Touring in a few years.

  Long time Honda fan - 2009 Honda Odyssey
  By AEdwards - March 25 - 9:33 pm

  This is our sixth Honda product, first van. Love the way Honda packages models so you dont have to buy an option you dont want just to get something you do want. Great quality that we expect from Honda. Odyssey has definitely lived up to its reputation. Lots of fun features to keep kids and dads happy.

  So far so good.... - 2009 Honda Odyssey
  By sid - March 1 - 8:29 pm

  After months of flipping between Odyssey and Sienna, I am a very happy owner of a Honda. Its fun to drive and turns like a normal car. Doesnt feel when you are driving a van, only when you see the space, it feels like a spaceship.

  09 EX-L w/RES Just off Assembly Line - 2009 Honda Odyssey
  By raechris - March 1 - 12:08 pm

  Just purchased my first Honda and first minivan. It just came off the assembly line two weeks ago and the family could not be more excited. Having driven sports cars, sedans and wagons up until this point, I can honestly say after a short adjustment to the driving dynamic of a van, it is just wonderful. Having the unusual ability to detect even the smallest fault, there is a slight rattle/buzz above drivers head area, but the radio easily compensates. It is a living room on wheels, the kids have plenty of room and love all the options/variations, space. Insanely comfortable, amazing visibility, plenty of power and a VCM system that is nearly imperceptible. On the first half tank 19 mpg city.

  Practical and Utilitarian - 2009 Honda Odyssey
  By DR. KARL - February 19 - 10:09 am

  Just traded in a 2007 MB CLS550 for a more practical vehicle... no regrets! This minivan is more useful and spacious than our MB GL450. Touring model wonderful in that no options apply (comes fully loaded) avoid the PAX system however - expensive to replace the tires. Sound system/DVD player/navigation system are user friendly. Cylinder deactivation of 3.5L V6 is great, enabling 26 mpg on highway. Amount of storage space (without folding 3rd row seats flat) is astonishing. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone with kids and dogs (we have one child and 2 dogs).

  Best van out there - 2009 Honda Odyssey
  By east - February 16 - 8:57 pm

  Really nice van. When you drive it, you know it is quality. Gas mileage seems average for a van. Stereo stinks - replace with better speakers Cant go wrong with a Honda
