Honda Oddysey they’ll go forever, just like their civics

The Honda is a good one but they did have their own flaws and shortcomings as well. For example, that plastic visor on the hood always broke.

We’ve had a Mercury Villager since 1998 and it still works wonderfully. More than 8 years ago, though, so I’m not sure if this helps.

The Chrysler mini-vans,(Dodge,Chrysler,Plymouth), set the standard years ago,I have owned several over the last ten years. I usually trade out at somewhere around 175000 miles and they still run fine. The trick is to know which engine to get,the 3.3 is the best all around to have in these vans. I currently have a 3.8 in my Chrysler T&C Limited and for what little power difference gained it has not been worth it in fuel mileage lost. My 3.3’s were getting around 26mpg fully loaded with 7 people and a roof-top carrier and pulling a 4×8 trailer,the 3.8 gets a consistent 23mpg loaded or not. Overall mileage was 23 with the 3.3 and 19 with the 3.8. City driving was usually about 17-19 with the 3.3 and 13-15 with the 3.8. The 3.0 engine was a disaster from Mitsubishi,get it hot once and your day was done. If you see a Chrysler mini van leaving a stop in a puff of blue smoke you can almost bet it is a 3.0 V-6. If they were overheated the valve guides would slip in the heads exposing a slot allowing oil to get by and into the intake hence the puff of smoke on take-off. The four cylinders were ok if you did not have much to carry around or have any mountains to pull. The 4 cyls. would give a transmission a work-out in the mountains. I personally would stay with the tried and true 3.3 as the best all around engine. I have seen these with over 300000 miles on them and still running and sounding good,of course regular maintenance helps.
