After much searching and testing driving we finally picked our Swagger Waggon. A used 2006 Honda Odyssey. We bought it a couple of weeks ago; however, I couldn’t say I was a legitimate minivan driver until I’d actually driven it for a few weeks. A few weeks is enough time to safely say the honeymoon period is over and that I can provide a fair and honest review. Guess what. I still like it! Yes, the seats are a bit worn. Yes, there is a hint of a funny smell (only when you first get in). Yes, it’s missing the bells and whistles in the new vans – flat screen TV, bottle cooler, all-terrain floor mats. BUT, it’s still very functional and we saved money buying used. It’s exactly what we needed. I have the wonderful feeling of being extremely practical but also the sneaking feeling that I was tricked into believing it’s so awesome. Oh, well.
