A couple of customers had them when I had the garage. They all loved them until the transmission failed. The trans has a stacked case like a motorcycle engine. There is no pan or a filter to service. When it goes, throw it in the trash and install a new one for big bucks. And they didn’t fail at high mileage. Also, the timing belt is not the worst one that I have changed but not the best. While Volvo and Audi have figured out how to attach the timing belt cover with a couple of clips, Honda insists on using a maddening number of 6mm bolts..... I prefer the 2012 or newer Grand Caravan. Just saying.
