Anyone drive a minivan on STX? How does it hold up and handle on the hills and bends? Are there Honda repair shops on STX?

Honda makes great cars...no doubt about it. But, any passenger vehicle travelling the roads on STX is going to experience extraordinary wear and tear on the front end suspension and steering components. I had a 2000 Honda Accord that I bought to the island several years ago in great shape. Within a year and a half, the front end was shot. I had the repairs made and again within a few years, it needed pretty much the same work again.

You can bring your Odyssey but when it comes time for the inevitable front end work, always specify "heavy duty" or "off road" suspension replacement parts rather than the ordinary replacement parts. Others on the board may scoff, but you'll come to understand soon enough.
