"Well worth the price"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing.

No unscheduled dealer visits

Will have to replace tires and brakes in the next 5k or so.

Oil changes, wiper blades, air filter have been the only things done to car.

General comments?

It been a reliable family vehicle. Pretty good on gas. The car can get up and go with out any trouble. It handles great for a vehicle of its size. Very good on long trips.

The biggest gripe is its heating controls. What ever happened to knobs..

The other gripe and it's a real small one. A change drawer. They give you 15 cup holders, but nowhere to put your change??

I plan on keeping this car for the long haul. It will be interesting to see how well this car will hold up to 3 kids.

Wait a few miles until your transmission fails and then let us know how wonderful your van is.

Anyone had trouble with tread life on the tires? I have only 10k on the new set and I swear I'm down 50% on the tread. Oh yeah.. I just had to replace the rear pads (45k). Still a great car. Sorry domestic car fans.

I just sold my 05 Odyssey to my sister and purchased an 08. It had 60k miles on it. Needed tires at 45k ($550), and had the f/r brakes ($200) at 55k miles. What a great car!

Had to replace a defective battery@55k. Dealer replaced it under warranty.Can't complain about stealership service other than the battery failing.

I can't get rid of the shimmy in my steering wheel. It happens between 65 TO 75 MPH. Dealer says I'm crazy, just live with it. Total BS.
