I still have my '93 Grand Voyager with 145,000 miles and a new transmission if you'd like to come drive it - I guarantee that would raise your opinion of your Odyssey.

As to the other issue you raised, my ego would indeed prefer a Viper; Corvette; or, preferably, that black 'Cuda used in Aaron Tippin's music videos (I'm not much of a C&W fan, but I find myself flipping channels hoping to see that car!!). The Odyssey neatly fills my needs at this time, though. If you don't like the squeaks, rattles, or image that ensue from your Odyssey, by all means sell it. (You probably won't have to take much of a "hit", either.) Just out of curiosity, what do you have in mind to take its place?

groupset is right. You probably won't loose much in the trade. But I must say the Odyssey is not your average minivan. I find a lot of car owners envious of the Odysseys spacious interior, powerful engine, towing capabilites, better gas milege better than an SUV, sleek exterior styling, navigation, car like handling and more. So you may want re-think your decision. If not - I'm sure you'll be able to sell it quickly.

Sorry to hear that you're unhappy with the Odyssey. Ironically, my wife & I like the Odyssey because it "drives and feels more like a car" than our other car (Toyota Avalon). My wife had an Integra and this feels like driving the Integra, only bigger.

I'm sure you can find a taker for you Odyssey with no problem.

Ditto to Larry and Chuck. I've always wanted a pickup truck since I must be Home Depot's favorite customer. But I couldn't justify the lack of family space (and mileage). We needed a bigger vehicle to haul kids, dog, gear, etc. So to me the attributes of the Odyssey (size, space, mileage, seats, etc.) and the fact that I think it is the least wimpy/most muscular looking minivan made it a winner, PLUS I think of it as my covered pickup that also happens to get decent mileage and can haul the whole family comfortably, with room for stuff to spare.

That said, and in all fairness, I must admit that I've noticed more rattles than I'd care to and they are starting to get to me. That is the only negative so far in my 2500 miles of ownership. I'm thinking of offering to pay Chuck's way out here and have him give my Ody the once over.
