Honda Odyssey EX-L

Recently, I went on vacation for 10 days and when I came back, my car (2011 -odyss,) did not want to start. Battery was fully drained. I have to tow it to my expense to dealer. (Towing is not covered under warranty, in this case). Dealer mentioned to me that all cars with navigation and all kinds of computerized systems if you leave your car more than a week, than the car's battery will run down. Its normal due to all kinds of electronic systems. First time I heard it and I never seen any review mentioned this point. Its worth considering before you buy it. Specially, in my case where we go on vacation two times a year for more than 10-15dyas. I made a mistake spending 48K and going through this problem.

I really enjoyed test driving the Honda Odyssey. It rode great, has lots of room, rear seat folds away. I wanted a car that I could take camping and carry plywood in. This answers both needs. The shortcomings concern the secutiry system ( doors must all be closed AND locked in order for the security system to activate) and that the doors do not lock when going from Park to Drive. Honda says that both items are not dealer changable.
