well guys the sienna is out of question - the interior just did not do it for us. We are really down to two choices - MDX vs Odyssey. My question is 1. Given the new MDX 09 - will it be as safe as Odyssey? 2. How will MDX perform in long rides - will it be as comfortable as Odyssey minivan? 3 Most important - will the odyssey peform as good as MDX in the buffalo snow? Thanks guys...

Acura uses more sound insulation, too. Drive it because sound quality is largely subjective. 3. SH-AWD is going to beat FWD easily. Having said that, a good set of snow tires would serve the Ody wel. Best of luck shopping. |

Replying to: jayrider (Nov 22, 2009 6:16 am)  People are paying attention to the new IIHS reports and some people are concerned that the car they intended to buy has fallen off the "top safety pick" list for 2010. 8 SUVs made the list, but no minivans did.

awd minivans don't get much if any better mileage than suv's. a couple things i like about suv's, they handle things poor road conditions better due to more suspension travel and taller tires. also, in a lot of snow, the extra ground clearance can allow you to get where you are going easier. we have snow in ct, too.
