My 2 cents for this topic.

We now own a '05 Odyssey and an '04 HCH.

The Odyssey replace a '00 Accord and an '03 Odyssey. It was decided we did not need three vehicles and the '05 Odyssey was easier to judge the corners. After one week it seems to be a better riding van than the '03. This is primary vehicle of my wife. First tank was at 19 and it may not do much better in the city.

The HCH replaced a '87 Accord. It was my first car bought new in '87 and at 180K+ miles and was starting to need more work than I could do by myself. The HCH is my primary vehicle, but when we are going somewhere together (we have a daughter) the van is the mode of transportation.
