2008 Honda Odyssey EX-L review from North America
"Absolutely great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We do mainly long distance hi-way driving 12 hours at a time. No problems except for that same front end vibration upon quick braking. (same as my last 2003 Odyssey). In the 2003 I replaced the front rotors with drilled rotors, and the problem was permanently eliminated.
General comments?
Great car, but the 2003 offered extendable sun visor and more user friendly wiper control, and a "real" padded dash and seats, not this plastic "stuff".
Great travel vehicle. Unfortunately the larger tires give this newer model a sloppier suspension. I recommend upgrading to 18" wheels and lower profile tires.
