So looking at possibly changing vehicles for my wife. With three boys 5 and under we want something with a little more room. So what is the good and bad of these. I will definitely be looking at a used one. Thinking about a 2014 or so. 75,000 to 100000 mile range.
Thanks

Had a 2010. Great for kids. Low profile and auto sliding rear doors. Get entertainment pkg if can.

We have a 2011 and its been a trooper of a vehicle. I haul four kids plus the boss all the time. Its a great grocery getter. Can also haul about 1500lbs of gear with it. Thinking about getting a new one.
The Toyota Sienna is also great, I have a friend who has one. The only real difference between the two is the spare tire and whatever entertainment package you get. The Toyota does not have a spare tire, not even a doughnut, it has run-flat tires which are expensive to replace.
The only real problem I have had with mine is that the air conditioner compressor sits low and I cracked mine when I hit a nasty pot-hole. Aldeer buddy in Greenville fixed it for me as cheap as he could.

We had one from 2004 to 2015 while the kids were small. Lots of room, drove well and really no problems with the one I had. That said, there have been some transmission issues and some paint issues through the years. I would do some research and talk to your mechanic. Friend had a 2008 and the paint peeled on the roof, Honda would not do anything about it.

We had one of the early ones and had paint defects and tranny problems and alignment problems just like the other poster mentioned. I think it was an 04. Rode pretty rough too. I would recommend considering a midsize SUV cause you can still haul the kids around and hunt and tow a boat with it too. We have a Acadia and love it.

I have had more than one Honda, with a v6 engine. They are good vehicles, but IMO, that is too much horsepower to sit sideways in the Pilot, Odyssey, and Ridgeline. We had problems with motor supports on everyone of them. They are expensive and hard to replace. That is my experience with them. I owned Honda vehicles from 2005-2006 years of manufacture. The best vehicle that I have ever owned, was a Honda CRV. The 4 cylinder engine, with a chain and not a belt, was a great vehicle. I bought Toyota last time. It is hard to beat a lifetime drive-train warranty, on the Toyota vehicles.

Just do some research on Edmonds, etc, and you’ll be good. Great vehicles. I’ve had 2 Kia Sedonas since 06 and they’ve been great also. They changed body styles in 14. Just sold my 06 last year locally and it’s still going. Still have a 14.

haleyville al,
I use a crv on the mail route and have a few carriers that use a odyssey. We keep going in our old Honda’s while everyone is repairing their new jeeps. They are tanks. We beat them to death and the keep rolling.

Expect some interior dash lights to burn out.
Expect interior foggy haze on windshield interior.
Expect issues with rollers on automatic doors.
Expect to do brake work more than you expect.
Never had transmission problems but know some who did.

We've had 2 Odyssey and 1 Sienna vans over the years. Great vehicles overall but ain't bulletproof.

Correct, but all of those problems are due to the long lifespan of the vehicle. Which is why you see 15 year old Odysseys running around all over the place.

They are really good vehicles for a family and for asphalt driving. I though, have taken mine down many dirt roads and so long as I stay away from serious truck stuff haven't had a problem. If I am driving only on paved for the day I take the van. My truck usually has about 1000lbs of gear in it and the mileage on the van is much better.

We had a 2008 gas mileage was 10 to 12 mpg. It did not like to pass a gas station. Other than that a great van.

I can attest to the payload Skinny speaks of, he has more in the back of that grocery getter than I have in the back of my 2500.
