The original Odyssey makes a great family vehicle.
However, it's more of a tall wagon than a minivan. The benefits of this are relatively good maneuverability and fuel economy. The drawbacks are a tighter rear seat and far less cargo capacity than you're used to. You will also lose your trailer towing ability.
However, if you're looking to seat up to 4 regularly and don't need to tow or regularly haul lots of bulky cargo, it's a great choice, and the price is excellent.
