2016 Honda Odyssey EXL

Some vehicles are just transportation. This one was all we could have ever wanted and more. People make fun of mini vans until they really use one.

If you know, you know!

Our 2016 Honda Odyssey EXL was my wife’s dream car, and from day one it delivered. Not just in comfort (though the plush amenities made every drive feel first-class), but in the way it carried our family into moments we’ll never forget.

Every single mile on this van carries with it a story.

Inside this Odyssey, life happened.

There were full belly laughs that filled the cabin, quiet drives after long days, deep talks, snack crumbs, road trip playlists with loud seat belted dance parties, and the kind of moments that slowly, without you realizing it, pulled the family closer together.

Through all of it, this van was steady, comfortable, and always ready for the next “where should we go?” moment.

This van does have a salvage title but has never let us down in the 4 years that we have owned it. We’re genuinely a little sentimental letting it go, but it’s time for someone else to take the wheel and see where it leads them. We are forced to sell it because I am moving my family to New Zealand. The cars there are much smaller and the steering wheel is on the other side of the car, so we need to let her go.
