![]() So over almost three years we have driven the Odyssey 47,000 miles. As of today we are pushing 114,000 miles. So in a way, we took over where we left off but with a different steed. That, oddly enough, is about the same mileage our Sienna had when we lost it. This is the first of the cars that we actually still have, I’ll bet you thought we would never get to this point!Īs I relayed in the an earlier post, I traded in my Civic Hybrid for this van, a 2006 model with 67,000 miles on it. Prevented by Honda’s strict price structure from ordering options a la carte, the EX-L (L for leather) trim level best suited us– ours actually does have the DVD player but we very rarely use it. We would have also preferred a power hatch, but it was not offered by Honda in the model years and trim levels we were considering. Equipment-wise, neither Navigation nor DVD players were important, and we did not want the lightest interior color, but we definitely wanted leather and power sliding doors. At that time (about three years ago) Kias and Chryslers were not on our radar but as fairly popular, pleasant vans, we would now find either to be an acceptable choice.Īnyway, I searched up and down the Front Range, eventually settling on the one we bought. In fact, I found that I liked the Honda and my focus jumped to it, rather than the Sienna. Having preferred the Sienna to the Odyssey the last time I was looking, I figured we’d get another one, but when I was taking another look at the Odyssey, whatever had bothered me about it last time was no longer an issue. So FWD would probably be OK with decent tires. We get about half of what Denver gets and even Denver is not considered one of the snowier places in the country. We also realized that here in the northern part of the Front Range we get much less snow than we thought we would. However, the new ones were quite expensive and old ones were not in abundance on the used market people seem to hold on to them. Clearly we needed to get another vehicle with at least three rows of seats to quell the constant bickering from the back…Įven since before our old Sienna burned to a crisp, we’d been thinking about buying an AWD version for Colorado. ![]() ![]() (First Posted, new updates at the end) After several months in our new home with just an older Chevy Tahoe and a Honda Civic Hybrid, going anywhere with our three kids became more of a chore than it needed to be. ![]()
