We are now on our 4th Odyssey. Our first was purchased new in 1997; the second in 2000; third in 2005, and now this one. Clearly we are very happy with this particular make and model!
My last van (2005) was a Touring, which meant it came with PAX (run flat) tires. Those tires could not be changed to regular tires and they needed to be replaced every year. It cost us almost $2,000 a year to change those damn tires! We were tired of dealing with them so it was time to change cars.
This van is our first pre-owned vehicle in almost two decades (all a part of our choice to live a no credit card, no incurring big debt lifestyle). It is a 2009 with amazingly low mileage and one step below the Touring. It has most of the same features plus some others that the 2005 Touring didn't have. We lost the back up sensors, seat memory and PAX tires (yay!) and we gained bluetooth, mp3 input (not sure what that's called) and an 8th seat (a small, removable seat in between the captain's seats in the middle row)...all things we wanted. Even though it's an EXL, it has factory installed navigation, DVD player and leather seats. I didn't lose my XM radio or my reverse camera. In addition to all of that, we got a sweet deal!
Matt surprised me with it! It was fun!
