Have you ever been in a situation where you have mapped out a merge into fast moving traffic, checked the rear view, checked the side view, are accelerating to the appropriate speed, put on your signal, and are about to move into that tight spot when: YOUR SPOUSE WIGGS OUT, you hesitate, your opportunity is lost, and now you really ARE in trouble?
This happened to me the other evening trying to merge into traffic, leaving us traveling about 60mph into a 25mph hairpin exit. For all the pandemonium of the moment, the rapid swerve and quick deceleration through the exit turn was almost anticlimactic. The Odyssey performed flawlessly, entering the turn about 50mph and continuing to decelerate through it. The worst part was when I almost didn’t stop at the light at the bottom of the exit hill because I was so rattled from all the chaos.
Had we been in our 4Runner I am sure we would have been in BIG trouble. Thank you Honda for designing such a sure footed, safe 7 passenger vehicle. Next time ... err, well, I promised there wouldn’t ever be a next time ...
