Its a minivan...who cares? As long as it has enough power to be driven safely and haul the kids stuff, its good enough for me.

MPV was the first van that had all the "new" features now being put into the odyssey/freestar/siennas. it had 2nd row roll down windows as early as 2000, standard V6(2.5L 160damn hp). overall, it's served my mother well(5 years and still under 36k miles though). It was also a lot cheaper than the other models. we got ours for 19K new. no mechanical problems and 1 recall so far dealing with slapping an extra patch on the bumper to reinforce it.

I like it.
Two questions.

1. MSRP?
2. Does it come in stick?

Here's both. And yes, it comes in stick:

For under $20,000 with light options and a stick, I'd hit it all day long.

Well I'll be damned - you can get it with a manual in the US

wasnt the first gen odyssey basically a tall statino wagon? i thought it was exceptionally small for a van.

It looks really good for a minivan. The ass end looks like the matrix, the front like the mazda 6...a bit taller of course.
I wish they would have put the sliding door rail up by the window...
