Honda Odyssey - 2006 — 

I am a wife and parent of 2 young boys, one with mild Cerebral Palsy.  We decided to venture into the "mini van" mode of travel when our son was getting to heavy to lift into his car seat and be able to get in and out of the car easily.  We vowed to never own a mini van.  But decided that we had no choice.  We shopped endlessly for a minivan but kept coming back to the odyssey for many reasons.  It is fuel efficient where it turns off cylinders in it's eco mode without having to do a thing.  Depends on your speed and acceleration.  The DVD entertainment is a must and we LOVE having the leather heated seats!  So easy to keep clean and keeps you warm in the winter.  Sound system is great, especially when the kids watch a movie like "Cars" or "Spiderman"!  The Odyssey navigates and handles extremely well.  I thought it would be difficult to park, but to my surprise it is VERY easy and pretty much turns on a dime.  It's a breeze to back into a parking spot or paralell park.  There are so many features that we are still discovering like, the rear wiper turns on automatically when you put it in reverse and have the front wipers on. The side window shades and open/close of the side windows is great.  The power doors are very convenient as well as the little thing that the windows do... when you press the door opener on the key fob and hold it down, the windows roll down automatically without the vehicle even on! We will definitely own another Odyssey!  I can't wait to see what else they come up with... Only drawback we've seen so far is that although there are LOTS of cup holders, FEW of them are deep enough to keep a cup from falling over.
