Honestly between any american suv and a honda odyssey, I would choose the odyssey in a heart beat. If I had the money, a touareg TDI would have been my top choice.
not for nothing but my wife has an oddyssey and while im not a fan of minivans this thing is the best all around people and crap mover. so much space inside you can get lost. enjoy it for what it is and in a couple months time you'll look back and ask why i havent done this earlier especially having children.
Congrats on the write-off... aint nobody wanting to drive a formerly busted up car
The Odd is pretty dope for a while. I think that you'll cry because of how bored you'll be after cruising in it after a year but it's my first pick for a van too. Trying to convince my wife that its nice... lol
If i had to trade my car in for a people mover i'd likely go with a station-wagon (some kinda sport wagon maybe) but the Odd is likely the best choice.
