We just bought a 2009 Honda Odyssey and we love it.  It drives nice and the features are great.  We have the Honda Odyssey Ex which I think is the one just up from the base model.  It has dual power sliding doors which is a great feature.  We love the sun shades that are built into the second row doors.  We do not like that the dual air cannot be turned off on one side.  We can adjust the temp for the driver and passenger, but if one person just wants it off that can't be done so that is a downside.  We also wish it had more than 2 power outlets for electronic devices - that also is a bummer. ...
