Thanks for the help! V70-XC70

Any remote chance of a third kid will mean eventually moving toward Odyssey. V70 + Mazda6 is probably too small for 3 kids in 10 years. You can always change the car later but lose some value in the exchange.

We had a 2000 Odyssey EX before the 01 V70 T5. V70 devalue much faster than Hondas. Hondas start at lower price when new and depreciates less. In just a few years, the value of the 2 car converges to the same. On the V70, you should probably figure in 15-20% depreciation in first year and 10+% there after. 1-2 year old might save you a lot of money. But might not meet your equipment preference.

So Hondas are the best value and V70 is the most beautiful and need a little more care. No surprises here :-)
