It hauls nearly everything that I need to haul and is much more versatile than a pickup. By using plastic bins, trays, foam pads (kid's playroom type from Sam's), rolls of plastic, and a roll of anti-slip, I have been able to keep the interior looking new. I get 18 MPG in a small town and 25 MPG on the highway -- probably better than most pickup trucks.

I've never but a bike in mine but I'm certain that with middle row removed they'd fit easily.
BTW - I agree 100% with Jim as far as the Ody being a covered pick-up.
If there's a way to get around driving the Ody everyday, the its certainly a great vehicle to have. If you're concerned about fuel mileage its not as if any other mini-van is head and shoulders above.

Test drive a Sienna. Just as much room and slightly better on fuel. Although apparently not nearly as good/fun to drive. I didn't even look at one since discounts on remaining 07 Ody's were impossible to ignore.

Like all cars you'll eventually get some kind of rattle after a couple of years of use, not all cars are built like tanks.
I've had a Nissan, Toyotas, Mazdas, and Hondas all get rattles after several years of driving it.

The 6 definitely looks better than the Camry or Accord (the 07 AND the 08). Now, if Mazda would just use their own engines instead of a damn Ford 3.5 V6, we'd be in business.
Oh, and did you notice it has proximity sensors (the ones that beep) on the front and the rear? Nice.
