    I'm curious about the ride quality of this car. Is it stiff and harsh over bumps & potholes like I've read in Australian reviews?

    The bigger question is: Does the vibration issue of the 2.4 earthdreams engine and the cvt exist also on this model? A lot of complaints currently going on with regards to this issue.

    i have the new odyssey, ride is great compared to other vans. my wife hates the ride of our land cruiser and can't stand it while she absolutely loves the ride of the odyssey. around 5k kms and haven't experienced the vibration issue so far. same with my sisters odyssey no issues experienced yet.

    Might not be the case for the the Odyssey here as the engine is slightly different from the US Market
    CR-V (Port Injection vs. Direct Injection).


    Thanks for the feedback foresterx, waiting for our unit to arrive this July. BTW, what color did you get?

    We had a 2006 Odyssey (sold in 2013). My only other minivan was an old 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan. Both did a good job isolating the road from the occupants. But, the Odyssey had much better driving characteristics. The Honda was very tout, almost like driving a sedan.

    We would have kept the Odyssey longer. But, the wife almost got into an accident with it during the winter of 2012-2013. As a FWD vehicle, it was simply too heavy for her to handle on snow. She wanted a lighter, AWD vehicle instead.

    Yup! And the local Accord uses this 2.4 engine as well. Maybe that's one reason they're not
    bringing in the DI engines yet

    Curious about this also since ground clearance seems a little lower than some sedans like a Vios when I saw one on the road.
