Fremont used Honda dealers have winner of Ultimate Minivan Shootout

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 10, 2011 -- Parents looking for minivans have safety and cabin space as their top priorities, but Milpitas new car shoppers often overlook the other capabilities that minivans offer. Luckily for undecided minivan shoppers, Cars.com has held its first-ever Ultimate Minivan Shootout. Fremont used Honda owners will be very proud and excited to learn that the 2011 Honda Odyssey took first place for its styling, comfort, and overall ride.

The online source for new and used car buyers took six redesigned 2011 minivans under $45,000 and put them through a series of rigorous head-to-head challenges to determine which one was the best of the pack.

With the help of USA Today, Motorweek, and an Atlanta-area family of five, Cars.com tested the vehicles over a period of three days – the first day consisted of 175 miles of highway driving to determine the true gas mileage for each van. On the second day, the experts took turns driving each of the six minivans, evaluating ride, comfort, handing, style, and functionality. On the final day, the local family evaluated the minivans from a consumer’s perspective to determine which features and design aspects were most important to them.

Patrick Olsen, Cars.com’s Editor-in-Chief, describes the 2011 Honda Odyssey’s ability to surpass the standards: “Minivans haven’t always been so cool; in fact, some car shoppers have shied away from them. The reality is that today’s minivans are sleek, practical and drive very well, which fulfills the needs of many families. Looking at the Honda Odyssey, its overall package of innovative features, design and a great ride propelled it ahead of its competitors. The $42,000 price tag might seem steep, but the features that the consumer gets for that money are unbeatable.”

Any Milpitas new car shoppers who are unsure about which minivan is best should consult Cars.com or visit their favorite Fremont used Honda dealer like Capitol Honda to test drive the 2011 Odyssey and experience the award-winning package for themselves.
