The worst problem was being passed by Honda cars and SUV's
Maybe we Honda drivers just go faster than others? ;-) I think My Odyssey is about as quick as the 383 Magnum Challenger I had when I was 18. Maybe even a hair quicker, and based on how it felt when I once was in a passing situation where I was (unintentionally; it was just so smooth and torquey, to coin a phrase) travelling at a speed I won't state here
suspect it is probably faster, as well.
Is the Honda Push Factor limited to cars and SUVs only, or do Odysseys also do that? I'm planning to put air tabs on my MH this year; I wonder if putting air tabs on a passenger vehicle would also make it less "pushy" to other vehicles when passing.
In any case, I totally believe you about Hondas. I haven't really surveyed which cars do it, but there's a road near my house where the speed limit is 50, and a lot of people go faster than that. When sitting in a left turn lane there, I've noticed that some vehicles really rock my Odyssey as they pass, even though they're going the same speed as others. I'm going to have to start watching to see if they're Hondas :-)
