While the Odyssey's VCM system receives accolades for its performance, its standard five-speed automatic transmission earns mixed reviews. asserts that "it's impossible to discern when operation moves between three and six cylinders." Auto writers at agree, stating that they "were never able to discern when the engine was running on three cylinders as there is no obvious stutter or change in engine note."
