I always wanted a Lexus LS, and this is the closest I'll get to it for a while. Gets 20/29, and I average 20-22 with mixed driving.

Wife drives a 2008 Honda Odyssey. 120k miles on it. Base line model but it's done us fine. Got it with 40k on it and have put almost 80k in 5 and a half years. It's had its issues (had to replace all the coil packs for the engine, going to need a cat converter to pass emissions/inspection) but solid for a family with 3 kids that trash it.

While I love cars, I've never been a car guy. It's transportation from A to B and Back. So in my mind, I'll drive these into the ground and then get something else.

This is me as well. Im all about getting value too and not having a note hanging over me head. Mortgage is tough enough. Since college Ive only owned 2 vehicles...buying then getting everything I can out of them.
