We were in the market for a new people-mover after our previous Tarago hit 10 years old (and 180,000km).

Did our research and were totally hooked by the MY12 Odyssey. Went for the base model and got a good deal.

The best thing is how many features are included: Sat-Nav, reverse camera, Bluetooth etc. The touchscreen is comparable to an iPad!

It's about the only car with 7 seats that doesn't look like a truck or bus. Others considered were Mazda CX-9, Ford Territory, Holden Captiva, but the deciding factors were fuel economy and build quality.

Only problem is getting the wife to give me a turn driving!
