Honda Ridgeline

"Company touted better mileage. Getting about 5mpg under their claims. When towing my boat in particular, the gas mileage is horrible....about 7 mpg. My brother in law purchased the same truck one year later and his does get reasonable mileage."

"After ten years it still rides like a car. Great turning radius. Smooth acceleration. Does a great job in the snow."

"Turning radius is mediocre at best, not particularly crisp handling even for a pick-up. Ford F-150 feels more responsive. Towing capacity is also mediocre.."

"Should have better power. A bit sluggish when accelerating. Poor gas mileage."

"It is very hard to see behind and around when backing up. It is always hard to see around the vehicle when on the road."

"Good-- handling and acceleration are above average."

"throttle is not as responsive as I would like, probably because transmission doesn't downshift quickly enough"

"Ride is good - more like driving a car. Front wheel drive traction in snow is great."

"Very great acceleration and solid handling. I love driving this vehicle."

"I have driven this vehicle to Kentucky and back. It was pleasant driving trip. Good handling and power. The overall gas mileage for the trip was just a hair over 21 mpg. Its a good feeling vehicle to drive ."

"Two months after purchasing this vehicle we had a severe snow storm in New Hampshire which covered the roads quickly. While driving home from work I hit what I think was a large pile of slush that I believe came off the trailer of a semi causing me to lose control of the Ridgeline at 40 mph. In The split second that it took me to decide what to do, the VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) kicked in using both the brakes and engine to bring the vehicle back in control! All I had to do was steer! I said"

"I wish it had a tighter turning radius."

"The acceleration is good for a V-6. The handling is solid and is not prone to surprises."

"The only downside of this vehicle is it doesn't turn well."

"Doesn't get the best gas mileage"

"Acceleration is great and it handles very well in town and at freeway speeds. Is exhibits vey little roll in turns."

"The turning circle is huge!"

"Acceleration, handling, breaking, all these items very good in my opinion"

"Poor acceleration and not very good gas mileage. Would expect one or both on a Honda V6."

"Acceleration is okay, but not more than adequate. Probably needs a bigger engine, but this is one of the original ones with 120K+ miles on it so I would hope things have improved for the newer models."

"very nimble"

"Smooth is the word."

"Rides as smooth today as it did the day I bought it."

"Handles really well for a truck. It is a nice comfortable ride, almost like driving a car. Has performed well in all weather. Have taken it on long trips, accelerates well and carries loads well."

"After 185,000 miles, this car runs like brand new."

"Drives well but needs more power"

"For it's size, great!"

"We get a lot of snow here and the Ridgeline has always gotten us through it."

"Good power when needed, included when loaded; slightly wide turning circle. FANTASTIC grip / Traction including driving on ice covered hills"

"Still like new"

"Handling is good in most type of snow conditions."

"It doesn't drive a truck, more like a smooth car!!"

"For an older vehicle it still has a lot of getup and go! Great V6 workhorse of an engine!"

"Good acceleration, powerful towing power, very reliable, never have had a breakdown in over 220,000 miles. Very good handling and a very comfortable ride. Gas milage could be better, average 8mpg in the city and 16 to 18 mpg on the highway."

"It has lots of power and can pull a small trailer without any problems. Good acceleration."

"Good accel"

"Enjoy driving and handling"

"Steering is precise, requiring very little correction. Acceleration is more than adequate. In addition, the comfortable seats make it a comfortable all-day driver."

"best vehicle for snow and gravels roads I have ever driven"

"Excellent acceleration and AWD handling."

"Good drives on handling and acceleration BUT Ridgeline badly needs better MPG. This size truck should be capable of 20 city/28 hwy especially with cylinder deactivation technology systems available. Honda can do better."

"This light duty truck is great it rides smoothly with little roadside noise has plenty of power. It handles great"

"Good four wheel drive capability when the vSA and abs module is working"

"I love it"

"Power and performance are as expected, the only slight knock on the vehicle is the turning radius is very wide and that can be a problem in certain parking areas."

"Handles more like a car, accelerates great when I need to"

"Nice ride for a truck. Climate controls are conveniently located and keep the truck cabin at comfortable temperatures. Rear seats are not very comfortable. Tend to sit up to straight."

"Seats are hard."

"Heated leather seats sunroof trunk under pickup bed"

"Good support, ample adjustments."

"A lot of good elbow room both front and back both set of seats good for long rides (over 3 hours)."

"comfortable seats, driver's is power-adjustable, both are heated; dual controal heat and air cond.; rear seat is comfortable and accessible"

"Holds 5 people"

"No repairs"

"Seats get uncomfortable, little support, on long drives. Very noisy inside, difficult to hear audio (music) when driving) - poor audio system."

"Seats are very comfortable, Plymouth control has always worked just this year I had to add Freon"

"Seats need more side support. AC is not strong enough-same for my old Honda. Lots of road noise."

"Very good vehicle to drive in all seasons especially the winters. Very dependable. Rides like a car. Heater and air con excellent. Very few repairs beyond regular maintenance"

"The material used for the seats melted in the sun. It occurred at the Colorado River. So it was about 110 degrees and the seat material became hard and brittle and shortly thereafter began to break apart."

"Honda is a great company with a reliable product."

"The ride is excellent. It is easy to enter and exit. As an 82 year old, entering and exiting some vehicles can present a challenge."

"Has a little more wind noise than expected."

"Mileage could be a lot better. The newer vehicle isn't as good as the first few years' model. This model has good seats, newer model has cheap folding armrests. This has great depth in pickup bed, newer is so low that if hauling soil or mulch it would fall out. This model has good Windows, new model has awful side windows like from the 60's."

"Good power when needed, little noisy (but not too bad for 2006) Great driving possition and "car like" staring & ride"

"The Ridgeline is comfortable and gives a very good ride."

"Very comfortable vehicle to drive gives you a feeling of safety"

"Very comfortable car to drive. Like the fold up seat feature in the back. Also like the extra cargo storage area accessed through the bed of the truck."

"ride is solid, steering firm and tight. road noise is high."

"Like riding in a luxury SUV."

"I am the 3rd owner of my Ridgeline. I primarily bought it for camping/towing a travel trailer. I'm quite happy with the general comfort during our journeys. My only wish is for a more powerful engine as I live in a mountainous region. When towing 4000 lb (+) but well below the 5000 lb towing capacity the engine has to work pretty hard to go up sustained hills."

"seats still very comfy after 160 k"

"Great ride and comfort for a pickup"

"Road noise high in this vehicle"

"low noise, very comfortable ride"

"Perfect ride for a pickup."

"We are coming up on 12 years of ownership. The truck is still very comfortable and has aged gracefully. Though you would not be able to ascertain this by looking at it. as this vehicle take the abuse we throw at it(hauling mulch, dirt, stones, pavers, etc.)"

"I fell in love with this truck on the first test drive at the dealership where I bought it used with 98K miles. It is very comfortable getting in and out - I have neck problems and this is the best vehicle ever. It is also the ride of choice for driving my 92 year old mom around. The cab is quiet and for cross country traveling its a dream"

"Comfortable, heated, part leather seats in front. Reasonable comfortable seats in rear. Plenty of leg room. Low noise level. Smooth ride."

"GREAT LOOKING TRUCK,WE'VE BEEN COMPLEMENTED OFTEN"

"Very quiet and comfortable in the city or on the road. Passengers are impressed. Front seats should be longer for thigh support, We add small cushions ."

"Great mid-sized truck, seats 5 and not too small."

"Roomy interior, easy to get in/out, comfortable leather seats, good driving position."

"Nice leather adjustable seats with heat"

"The drivers seat cushion for my butt and back side of my legs is uncomfortable."

"getting into Ridgeline without bumping head"

"It rides more like a car then a truck very comfortable"

"Seating is great!"

"The seats are great, and if the drivers seat was powered, that would be even better. There is a fair bit of road noise at highway speeds. It is a great vehicle for long distance drives."

"Wish I purchased power seat option for minute controls."

"They are NOT LEATHER SEATS- THEY ARE SHREDDED AND Hardened and look TERRIBLE and impossible to cover due to airbags!!! Noise from the windshield has increased each year."

"Large and soft"

"Leather seats all around. Very comfortable on long trips and the ride is very comfortable. It could be quitter inside but it's still not bad."

"Very comfortable on long drives"

"Of all the trucks that I have driven, the Ridgeline has the most comfortable seats, has the smoothest ride, and is the best handling. It is also relatively quiet."

"Good seats overall but not long enough seat travel for long legs. Please get 2 inch more and this would be rated as awesome!"

"Truck is comfortable. Road noise is noticeable. I use Michlen tires."

"rides like a car"

"135,000 miles and still going strong. With regular maintenance this vehicle should easily exceed 200,000 miles."

"The sticker price of $31,000 in late 2005 was relatively high for seemed to be a truck/SUV crossover given the deals that the American auto makers were giving at the time on trucks.."

"Many years without significant styling changes so vehicle looked reasonably up to date. Solid dependable vehicle"

"I wish I had paid a little less for it in 2010 when the Kelly Blue Book said it was worth about $16.8K and I ended up paying $18K."

"Very comfortable to drive, almost like driving a car. Extremely reliable, no mayor problems in 10 years of use. This is not a truck to load big or heavy stuff or pull heavy trailers and it definitely cannot pull a 5th wheel trailer. It's a very comfortable SUV with an open loading box in back. At that, it excels and I would wholeheartedly recommend it. It reliability is top notch and the feeling every morning when you start it up and runs flawlessly it's extremely rewarding."

"Have had this vehicle for 10 years. It will probably outlast me."

"Low maintenance, dependable, in bed trunk, comfortable seating."

"Many EXPENSIE repairs"

"I have 237,000 miles on my truck, and have had no serious problems in the 10 years I have owned this car. I bought it new, and service it regularly. It has been an EXCELLENT vehicle."

"Great vehicle! Reliable and does what it's supposed to or was designed to very well"

"The Ridgeline is reliable and is a great fit for suburban and urban environments. A real rear seat with real doors is very nice. The composite bed holds up well."

"This truck was an excellent purchase. It's been extremely safe, reliable, and everything has held up really well. 11 years after purchasing, it's still our primary family vehicle and very comfortable for us to drive around town as well as take on trips. My only complaint is that it's really inefficient on fuel."

"This vehicle has been paid off for many years so esentially we have been driving free for years with out costly repairs."

"Great value. Market value is exceptional for a 11 year old vehicle."

"Very dependable. Low maintenance costs. Not good mileage"

"Wonderful. Can not say enough good about this truck!"

"I felt it was an exceptional value."

"got a great price and the car is totally reliable and has worked very well for me"

"With almost 82,000 miles and 11 years of mostly short distance trips, the maintenance cost has been exceptionally low. Only minor maintenance required."

"After 12 years, truck still drives and handles like the day I drove it off the lot."

"A truck that drives and handles like a car. Also, lift-up bed for additional storage below bed level."

"This vehicle was purchased in July 2005. It still looks good and perform excellently. I anticipate keeping it until 250000 miles."

"I have had this vehicle for 12 years, and with regular annual maintenance have had no serious issues with it. I fully expect to keep the vehicle at least another 3-5 years."

"This truck has been very reliable and we plan to keep it until it stops."

"vehicle has been trouble free thru the first 200,000 miles. minor issues now emerging, but amazing value for the money."

"My Ridgeline is one of the best vehicle purchases I've ever made. It has been extremely reliable and I would definitely buy it again."

"Reliable, good solid vehicle."

"dependability, comfortable road trip driving, handles all hauling I have to accomplish"

"Very durable, reliable vehicle."

"The vehicle is 13 years old and it runs fine and all of the various components (e.g. A/C, transmission, engine) continue to perform properly."

"dependability"

"Reliable, practical, comfortable, handles well for a truck, hauls, and tows."

"Best car I have ever bought."

"Essentially NO problems. No rust, no reliability issues, minimal maintenance costs, still looks like new. Best car/truck value I've ever had."

"Great multi purpose family vehicle. The inbed trunk is so useful. It can tow like a truck, but seats 5 adults very comfortably. We use it more like a truck than as a car. Very reliable and easy to maintain."

"The value on the truck is great, got well over 250000 miles and had very little problems over that time. It's very reliable"

"Solid "truck". It drives like our Accord, but can handle mountain biking, dirt bikes, track days, camping, and a lot more of our utilitarian activities."

"Minimal maintenance or problems through 12 years"

"Initially, high acquisition cost, overall good value and long life."

"Great all around utility pick up truck. Over 220,000 miles and no major repairs. Extremely reliable vehicle that continues to meet all of my needs. Gas milage could be better. Love the built in trunk in the truck bed and the versatility of the tailgate. This vehicle has been a real work horse for me."

"Very reliable, comfortable ride, lots of storage and luggage space. Love the hidden space underneath the back of the truck that opens up after opening the two-way liftgate. Can carry a lot of weight [building supplies etc.but not too big a truck for my needs. Regular pick-ups are too large for my needs."

"Best, most versatile and reliable vehicle I've ever owned!"

"It is NOT a four wheel drive but costs the same to maintain! It is wonderful otherwise"

"It's unique,functional and,great style. The new Ridgeline looks like every other truck. Zero style. Honda sold out on the new design. Very disappointed."

"No longer available. New body style."

"Comfortable seats - Comfortable ride - Lockable trunk - Audio - Fog lights break from rocks."

"I like the v notch (similar but better than avalanche styling) but heard that the styling wouldn't be on the new models. That's too bad because the 2006 Ridgeline styling is distinctive."

"Trunk"

"The ride is very comfortable, the view from the vehicle is great, climate system is great. I get a lot of complements about the looks of the vehicle. I plan on buying another next year when supplies available for sale are greater."
