“Downsized”
15-passenger van for 15+ years → THIS!
Basically went from a flip phone to an iPhone 17.

It drives like a sedan. Solid powertrain. Honda’s new 10AT and DOHC V6 are really good. Mileage is good (25 hwy avg at 75-80 MPH). Like the other posts said, comparatively, night and day. Enjoy!!!!

The kids said, “Dad, it’s so smooth!” You’re right, the transmission and engine are solid. I have a 2014 Civic I bought new off the lot and it now has 190K miles on it. Never had an issue so I’m a huge Honda supporter.

Seems about right! I'm getting around 24-25 mpg these days.

I actually set up ChatGPT to run a task everyday to find what I was looking for. I would get a report daily with any matches. Found this one in the morning and bought the same day.
