Hi Mike,
This is the same 'weatherman' from the ROC, and we also have an '05 Odyssey. The Odyssey's ride is a bit smoother, but not mushy and for a 'van' it is so stable and precise in handling. Some appropriately call it "the sports car of mini-vans". It has the same motor as our RLs (plenty of power), and well engineered throughout, but hey, it's a Honda! I prefer driving my RL, but driving the Odyssey is pure pleasure. The only exception to preferring the Odyssey to the RL is on a trip. It is so comfortable and effortless to drive, and it gets better mileage, especially with the VCM. We just rolled over 46K miles on our Odyssey and we have been very pleased with it and no regrets.
