Not to be a naysayer but 14 mpg city and 20 highway?? I realize that the missions may be totally different but I get 15/18 in my 2003 4WD Yukon XL. And I can haul my clan of 6 and all of our stuff while pulling the boat or going snow skiing. Why would anyone buy the Honda? Also, although I don't own one, I drove my sister's new Odyssey and it was noisy in every way and rode rough. I have had 3 Astro vans and one Chrysler Town and Country and IMHO they are all better choices than the Honda (although the Chrysler did have some premature transmission issues). Bottom line: The Honda will be very dependable and last a long time with minimal cost. Drive one and if you like it and it fits the mission and the budget, it will be hard to go wrong. I just didn't like it and for what it is I'm not at all impressed with the fuel economy. People tend to equate Honda with fuel economy and it just ain't so.
