After driving the Fit for a month, I had to use the Odyssey..
...and man that thing felt like trying to drive a whale.
It took me a few turns to get used to it again.
Must be nearly 4 turns lock-to-lock compared to the Fit's 2.5 turns.
When I tried to make the first corner I felt as though the steering wheel was not connected to anything. What? Why am I not turning???
Compared to the Fit's you-think-car-turns steering, the van was lazy.
Forgot what the V6 felt like though. Quiet and strong.
Forgot how high up I was sitting when I was driving the van.
Can't wait to get my Fit back. The sunroof shop ought be calling soon.
Pics will be posted as soon as I can.
Too bad it's gray and dreary here in NY.

I'm going through the same thing. I've been driving the GE8 a lot lately since my DB8 has been resting after my last track event. I miss driving my DB8... Goes to show you how different it feels to drive two different cars.

I know what you mean. I drove my wife's Grand Caravan the other day for the first time in about a month and that thing felt like an 18 wheeler riding on over-stuffed marshmallows! The body roll was so immense I thought we might capsize!
Sorry babe, but I love my Fit!

When I went from driving the Ford Ranger to the Fit I thought it would take some getting use to but it really was easy getting use to the handling on the Fit. Now I just love the way it drives and feels on the road.
