I purchased a 2011 Odyssey Touring in July of last year. It is loaded with leather, heated seats, 3 zone climate control, uplevel stereo and video, with HDD storage, etc. The van rides and handles exceptionally well, and on long trips the 6 speed automatic and engine management (can run on 3 cylinders) provide great mpg, 26.4 over 1300 miles between Florida and NY. I have owned Chrysler and Toyota vans, and this is absolutely the best. I know Chrysler/Dodge now have a more powerful engine and better transmission, but I bought the Honda because of the reliability and reputation, something I did not have with a Chrysler van in the past. I have 14K on it already, and absolutely no problems. Two inexpensive oil change services. Vehicle brakes very well also, something I found out on the interstate when a tractor trailer lost an entire rear wheel, which ended up in the fast lane! A very high quality van, a little pricey, but as the man said, "You get what you pay for." Friends who have ridden in it said it rides like a limo. Storage capacity with the easy folding third row seats is great also....read morehide

I wanted to trade my Honda Accord in for more space for my children. Even though I loved my 2010 Honda Accord and hated to give it up, I always ran into problems of not having enough room for my children and their friends and would have to make several trips to make everyone happy in our daily events! When I went to Honda my Daughter got into the Odyssey and said Mom you have to come and take a look at this van. Which if my 11 year old was so smitten with it I had to take a look and take it for a test drive. I fell in love with it. So much room in the whole thing. Which my boys are 13 and 15 so they need lots of leg room. They loved the way they could actually move around and not be squished, the seats recline. WOW right. All the features the Odyssey has is amazing. I was so impressed I didn't want to test drive another vehicle I was sold on it when I drove it! I don't think my kids has ever been so excited about a vehicle before and they love it and they want me to just take them for joy rides. Which I think is wonderful that not only am I satisfied with it so are my children which even my 2 older children which are 24 and 20 love it too! Now we can all fit in one vehicle and go do things together instead of taking 2 cars! Thumbs up to Honda for making such a great van! I call it my sport van. LOL.. Which it drives like a catillac! :) Good to know that my van is on the top 2 of vans and hopefully it becomes rated Number 1! Thanks Honda.
