I have a 2005 Odyssey and absolutely love it! I bought it because I was having my 3rd child and I couldn't fit 3 kids in the backseat of my Accord.Anyway, it drives beautifully. I'm only 5'2" tall and it doesn't feel too big to me. It's really like driving a sedan that's higher up off the ground. I bought the model that comes with a DVD player and leather seats. I thought (correctly) that having both of those would be a good idea with kids. The leather seats are sooo comfortable! And the DVD player has cordless headsets that the kids can use, though 2 of my 3 kids are still too young for that.I've had only basic maintenance performed (oil changes, etc.). I did not buy the extended warranty knowing the kind of quality that Honda puts out. I paid around $32k for it and plan to keep it at least 10 years.Honestly, the only negative to me is the gas mileage. I get around 18 mpg. That might be ok for a minivan, but I was used to getting closer to 30 mpg with my Accord. It's a little unsettling at first to have a large increase in my gas expense.I would definitely buy another, and I recommend it to everyone who asks me about it.
