I rented one of these for a cross country trip in 1990.

I almost had to use a step ladder to attach the radar detector to the windshield.

We have a 2012 Odyssey with nearly 150k miles on. It’s been an outstanding family vehicle for all the reasons named.

They are back as soon as you stop listening to these chuffs who does understand that ability to do all sorts of stuff has an appeal of its own. Good luck hauling the wife and 3 kids across country with gear in your charger.

My wife drove a Previa for 15 years, 395000 miles. Only changed oil, tires, filters, batteries and 1 sliding door track. Never left us anywhere but where we wanted to go. Went to the top of Pike's Peak and down without stopping, while numerous other vehicles were out of breath or overheating brakes on the way down. Great van....raised 3 kids with plenty of room and reliability. Had 50/50 F/R weight distribution and handled fantastic. After my wife got the SUV bug, I drove it for another 80000 miles to work and back. Finally gave it to my handicapped brother in Alabama, he drove it for another 75000 miles and blew a head gasket. He pawned it for $800. Could have killed him for that.

I legit love stories like this. For the life of me, I don't understand why people trade in vehicles all of the time. Vehicles will last a long time, if you don't treat em like trash.

I've got an '08 Chevy with a Duramax that has 240K on it. I have no desire to get rid of it. It is dependable, will haul anything I need it to, and more than anything else...no payments.

To each their I own, I reckon
