HONDA ODYSSEY

Catering to the upper class market, the Odyssey we get is from Alabama, USA which favors room and power for their cars. Thankfully, this one is a hoot to drive plus unlike rivals of the same price, this can accommodate eight people. Tons of safety and power features are thrown in, too.
