Last night, I took my first testdrive in a 02 Odyssey. Now, I had been on a 300+ mile round trip voyage in an Chevy Astro (POS company van) just before going to the dealership. Not sure if that had any effect on my opinion, but the ody is BY FAR the best van I have ever driven.
I've never driven anything so large that felt like a midsize car. And the power! I have a pretty decent mid-size sedan (Olds Intrigue with 3.5L DOHC, 215 HP, ect) but wow, the Ody seemed at least as powerful (note: ~900 lb difference) off the line as the intrigue, and about as manuverable.
Honestly, I was sold before even driving it, giving past experiences with Vans, and how awesome the Ody spec sheet looked. But now, I'm down right excited to get this thing! I'm going in 1st thing tomorrow to place my order. It looked like there was a RRP EX that would be available mid NOV. Hooray!!
