2006 Honda Odyssey

The Honda Odyssey is a smartly designed van. Based on the level of model you get, this car can come with all sorts of extra features, such as a DVD player and automatic seats. It gets good gas mileage for a van, and like any Honda, is reliable and requires little maintenance. On the higher end model, the dashboard is confusing, with so many buttons you'd think you were sitting in an airplane cockpit. The biggest drawback could also be seen as a plus: its resale value. Used models sell for not much less than the original price, which is nice if you are selling, but frustrating if you're in the market to buy one. The Toyota Sienna or Chrysler Town and Country are much cheaper used vehicles that are just as easy to drive.
