    I came "this" close to buying one and the sales manager bumped the price on me after I went home with the salesguy to get my checkbook. So I walked.

    Wound up with a '99 Quest that went over 200k and all over North America. Was the better choice at the time. My brother had a good later edition Odyssey that served them well ('03 iirc). Then they got a '13 and it's noticeably "cheaper" in features than their earlier one was. They drive their F-150 more.
