Re: [MBZ] Odyssey for Max
I'm partial to Honda products, having owned a '92 Accord which was one of the nicest cars in terms of value and reliability that I've owned, and I prefer the Odyssey visually to the Previa, but I'll keep an open mind. Not too serious yet, Wife would be the one to really make the decision, and I don't think she's ready for that yet. -Max From: mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com on behalf of Dan Weeks Sent: Sat 10/2/2010 9:26 PM To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: [MBZ] Odyssey for Max Max Not sure about those, but they pass muster with my engineer friend, who researched the hell out of them and likes his very much. Says he can count on 25 mpg. I like my Previa better--more room, RWD which I like better for heavy loads and towing, and the same 4-speed auto as they put in the trucks. I know a guy with over 350k on the original engine and trans, and he tows a two-ton boat with his. Mine shifts very crisply at 187k. Mid- engined with very low COG, handles surprisingly well.
