Even the base LX model comes equipped with power operated front and middle doors, airconditioning, a CD and MP3 player, adjustable steering column and cruise control.

The middle of the range EX has more features added: alloy wheels, zoned climate control for comfort of all passengers and the driver, powered drivers seat for easy adjustment and powered sliding doors. The EX-L range includes all this and more; heated front seats, rear DVD player, leather trim, sunroof and satellite radio. Then there is the top model, the Touring, which has the added luxury of an upgraded audio system, adjustable pedals and Bluetooth.

Safety is so important in vehicles today and Honda has excelled in this area with the 2008 Odyssey. Standard safety features include traction and stability control, anti-lock braking and brake assist, and front and side airbags. The Odyssey performed brilliantly in front and side crash tests with both the NHTSA and the IIHS, scoring the top rating with both organizations. You and your family will travel safer in the Honda Odyssey.

The 2008 Honda Odyssey is the best choice in the minivan category, with its good looks, safety features and driveability.
