fungyee77 5th Gear October 10, 2016 Share October 10, 2016 Curiously, leading motoring magazines in Australia seem to mostly prefer the C4 Grand Picasso over the Honda Odyssey, due to preference on design, much better fuel economy and better standard equipment. Also, the Grand Picasso actually 10% more expensive than the Honda Odyssey in Australia while it's 10% cheaper in Singapore. But reviews are only good if your priorities align with that of the reviewers. For me when buying a MPV, the greater space of the Odyssey, the convenience of the sliding doors, the better perceived reliability of the Honda and the fantastic Ottoman seats won the day. Reviews below for another perspective. http://www.caradvice.com.au/284033/people-mover-comparison-citroen-grand-c4-picasso-v-honda-odyssey-v-kia-rondo-v-toyota-prius-v/ http://www.carsguide.com.au/head-to-head/citroen-grand-c4-picasso-vs-honda-odyssey-vti-20150105-30614 http://www.motoring.com.au/honda-odyssey-v-citroen-grand-c4-picasso-2014-comparison-43690/ ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machjc Clutched October 18, 2016 Share October 18, 2016 PM you. Can share your thoughts with me too? I am also looking at the KM 8 seater because I have two kids and 1 helper. Hence typically wont need to utilize third rows except during weekends, where I might need to ferry parents. The KM 7 seater features 2+2+3, which means my helper needs to move to the third row typically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Honda sensing or HU is faulty does outside market know how to fix it? At the monument I looking at AD 7 sweaters without NAVi because I do not want my kids to watch DVD in car. I like the GPS but heard need pay for updates. Still struggling for decision... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ct3833 Supersonic October 26, 2016 Share October 26, 2016 Congrats to those who booked and bought Odyssey. After more than 15 years through two generations of Ody ownership,i still love Odyssey, but i did not continue my 3rd Ody after i scrapped mine in Feb partly KM didnt manage to get a 8 seater with decent spec from Japan, partly of course i refused to accept the current coe price. I end up resorting to two used cars instead of a single 8 seater. I still hope to get a new ody next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed the GPS will required some payment after 2 years.... anyway, for me, with 3 kids in cars, and running on 2.4, I am happy with the HP. I did test drive Sharan, and definitely love the HP and safety. But in the end, I needed the reliability and does not harm when KM throw in 5 yr warranty.

I like the GPS but heard need pay for updates. Still struggling for decision... oh, its the direct opposite of me. find the roof DVD is an essential items for my kids 1) Entertain them on long journeys 2) Keep them quiet/well behaved 3) They learn to watch movies only in the car - at home mainly study hehe 4) some of the movies eg hi5, barneys etc v useful for their general speech/language development 5) digital TV good to be updated of latest news, blockbuster or even watch NDP once a year 6) can connect to playstation to play games (previous ride, no more connector now) Cons 1) may rattle if not done correctly - get a good installer 2) may block the rear view mirror vision - choose correct model. Alternative head rests monitor 3) unable to listen to my music when kids want to watch movies 4) kids may miss beautiful sceneries - off the movies 5) conversation/family bonding - control time GPS is essential too, prefer in built to headunit, however agree the portable GPS may be more user friendly.

No worries bro, after a while u kind of understand what it all means. Just curious, if one gets the KM Oddy's manual, would it help us understand what the jap words are saying? Is it the same? Chris PS - so far 6.5 k km into my oddy and loving it. Heavier than my departed RB2 but better fuel efficiency Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
