4 kids what to do??? V70-XC70 1998

Needless to say, we have one and it's, well, it's ... acceptable.

If you need a big box on wheels it's as good a big box on wheels as anyone makes. The EX version has some toys like a power driver's seat and dual zone climate control and power doors. The knobs appear designed oversize so that someone with long nails can use them. Also the speedo and gauges are big enough that someone who doesn't want to wear glasses but should can read 'em. The ABS is good enough not to have spoiled our vacation when the kid pulled out onto the Saw Mill, saw us, and then proceeded to STOP dead in the middle of the highway! Statistically speaking the Odyssey is one of the safer things around. Side airbags are standard for '02 and I hear some dealers are even discounting 'em a bit now. Seems a pretty thoughtful design that's been relatively trouble-free.

I would personally prefer an old 911, but it's difficult to fit much into one of those.
