Best Reason to Buy the Honda Odyssey: Powertrain performance
The V-tec engine helps mitigate the fuel wastage typical of minivans. As a result, the Odyssey gets similar fuel economy to full-size sedans. In addition, Honda powertrains are designed to last, unlike some of their competitors (such as Chrysler and GM)

Best Reason Not to Buy the Honda Odyssey: Quietness
Wind noise is poor, especially given the price bracket of this vehicle. True highway comfort only exists in vehicles that isolate drivers from howling winds.

Other Reasons to Buy the Honda Odyssey: Cargo capacity & towing

Other Reasons Not to Buy the Honda Odyssey: Price or payments, Exterior styling

Best Reason to Buy the Honda Odyssey: Interior styling
The most important thing to us was the fact that my father (who is in a wheelchair) found the odyssey to be the easiest van to get into and out of. Everything else was secondary.
