Driving Experience
Includes acceleration and handling
What Owners Say
"Acceleration of the Ridgeline is slightly less responsive than the Si probably due to the automatic transmission. However, once the power kicks in, it is a force to be reckoned with. Handling is clean and predictable."
SANDRA F., MD (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"Best handling machine for snow and ice I have experienced."

James R., CT (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"Very easy to drive"
Anonymous, IL (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"This is my fishing truck and I love the way she drives and tow's my boat. The trunk in the cargo bed was the one item that made me decide to buy the Ridgeline. I already new Honda's are a good product."
Edward G., TN (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"Drives very smooth"
Alfredo G., TX (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"Excellent handling and smooth ride"
Anonymous, NM (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"The Ridgeline has good acceleration and excellent handling—the latter the best of any of the several trucks I've owned and better than some of my many cars over the years. Its full-time AWD provides a feeling of security, particularly in winter conditions; the Ridge is my go-to vehicle when there's snow on the ground."
K H., MN (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"A truck that rides and handles like a car, which is exactly what the majority of truck owners need. I like it the more I drive it."
Marc D., QC (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"Pretty good for a 6 cylinder truck."

Anonymous, CO (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"Good"
Anonymous, NY (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"No buttons or levers to actuate 4 wheel drive. The first winter storm in Colorado in this vehicle , my wife came home smiling at how safe she felt with the stability to pass others who were slipping and sliding around or stuck. Giving her that peace of mind is priceless. The intelligent design of comfortable yet foldable rear seating, in bed trunk and large center console storage give her unlimited flexibility for shopping and placement of purses and bags."
David N., OR (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"Could use more power. When AC is running and it's very hot in Phoenix, power is noticeably lower than winter."
John L., AZ (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"I love the way my 2007 Honda Ridgeline drives. It is very easy to handle. The acceleration is fantastic. As for the handling, I drive some back roads that are not always expertly paved. The Ridgeline handles these roads without any problems!"
Amy D., FL (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"easy to drive on dirt and highway. I'm not a "4-wheeler". excessively noisy suspension...on dirt. excessively noisy at high speed on highway."
John B., CO (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"Good handling. Comfortable to drive."
Harold M., PA (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"Gearing is nice, when I need to pass, I can get it moving very fast, has good acceleration. Plus, in tight spots, it turns "on a dime", very handy, steering is effortless and it holds the line easily. Not in the least tiring to drive and doesn't need a lot of steering wheel "management", no wandering, etc."
Jeffrey P., MN (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"For a light truck it handles and drives like a car."
Anonymous, NY (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"I have owned this vehicle for 5 years, and ii is great in the ice and snow, as well as on the highway towing a boat. Great all wheel drive system especially with my snow tires."
Steve H., ID (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"All factors are adequate for my needs."
Harold P., OR (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"Great acceleration and handling"
R C., TX (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"Quick and precise acceleration and handling"
Wayne W., DE (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"Inside room Comfort"
Anonymous, IL (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"With its six cylinder engine - it accelerates quickly; however, it has a very wide turning radius which gets tricky when making U-turns. Your magazine had forewarned me about the wide turning radius."
Anonymous, NM (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"The handling is very good for the payload capacity and ride quality."
Anonymous, CA (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"Moderately responsive to accelerating onto high speed interstates and to perform avoidance maneuvers at high speed. There is a slight hiccup and then the system surges into life. Takes slightly more of a rotation of the steering wheel to change lanes. Overall powerful and consistent engine performance."
Sandra F., MD (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"For its size and weight, the Ridgeline has very responsive accelaration and good handling. The 4 wheel drive feature is a good plus."
Anonymous, AL (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"Handles well on acceleration, gets up and moves out. really enjoy way it handles"
Gay E., TX (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"Going on our 11th year of owning a 2007 and it still drives great. The handling has always been great and the acceleration is also really good for a truck."
Melissa S., NE (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"Very well"
Don D., IA (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"Great acceleration and tows my boat with ease."
Edward G., TN (2007 Honda Ridgeline)"The motor has the power when you need it,even when the truck is fully loaded.handling is light and nimble."
Daren E., IL (2007 Honda Ridgeline)
"very smooth ,stable ride . Ride quality was not even on the radar when I bought it , It is probably the best feature of this truck besides reliability,"
CARMEN B., AB (2007 Honda Ridgeline)
