What Owners Say
"Excellent ride, acceleration and handling. Very comfortable to drive both in city and highway - easy to park."
RALPH I., MA (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"Excellent acceleration. Has very good, smooth handling with feedback in the steering. It has a smooth ride on the highways and secondary roads."
Anonymous, NC (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"Comfortable and wonderful to drive as a truck. Wish it had low range in 4wd"
Anonymous, PA (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"nice to drive and AWD is great in the snow on this vehicle"
Anonymous, CA (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"Good handling in slippery conditions."
Anonymous, IA (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"Very large turn radius, makes it difficult to park."
Anonymous, LA (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"Three things I don't like in order of most important to least: *Big blind spots at the rear quarters. *Brakes are rather weak. *Overall handling is not quick or fun."
Jack H., TX (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"I do use the bed regularly, but on a casual basis, not as a “working‿ truck. But the big plus of this “truck‿ is the ride, comfort and user friendliness. It rides as least as well as my up-scale Toyota sedan, both on city and country roads. Smooth, quiet, exceedingly drivable. Corners well and doesn’t feel “top heavy‿ like many trucks i’ve Driven. While I don’t use it constantly “off road‿ or in snow, the 4 wheel drive has come in very handy. Never gotten stuck. Excelleration is above average, but is under powered for very heavy loads [I.e. a bed full of gravel] or for pulling anything but a small to medium trailer. Only complaint about steering is that it seems to have a very large turning radius... you can forget about “Y-turns‿ or even some “U-turns‿ on any but the widest roads."
David B., FL (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"Powerful, smooth, stable and predictable. Solid as a rock."
Gary S., TX (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"Bad brakes. Soft, spongy pedal. Doesn't brake well at all."
Richard H., PA (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"Nimble"
Andrew T., BC (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"When parking, or backing out from parking spot, it is hard to turn the steering wheel due to front wheel drive. It automatically goes into passing gear when driving against the wind because it doesn't have enough power."
Anonymous, KS (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"the Ridgeline handles very well and better than most pickup trucks. acceleration is good and I drive on interstates regularly. merging into high speed traffic is easy."
Anonymous, LA (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"The Ridgeline handle very well in corners. Once I was driving after an ice storm. I did not feel the road was slippery. I saw many rear wheel drive vehicles slip and slide on even the slightest of hills."
Arnold S., MO (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"Handling is superior. My only concern is with sharp acceleration it shifts sharply in other words you can feel it go from gear to gear severely"
Walter W., SC (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"I have had many trucks over the years and the Ridgeline handles the best in all driving conditions of any I have ever owned"
Anonymous, KS (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"Comfortable cabin, with lots of storage and cubbies. Good acceleration, AWD, drives more like car than full-size truck."
Anonymous, AZ (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"Good power and acceleration. Handles more like a car than a truck."
Allan C., NS (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"hugs the road, safe n comfy"
Anonymous, NE (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"Handles nicely and is very easy to drive."
Scort N., MN (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"After 7 years it still handles like New without purchasing new suspension components"
Kevin D., ME (2010 Honda Ridgeline)"The acceleration is superb and the wide wheelbase provides a very secure ride around corners."
David S., CO (2010 Honda Ridgeline)
"Last year I was returning home on the freeway during an ice storm. I really did not feel how slippery the roads were. I saw many 2 wheel drive cars and other 4 wheel dive trucks struggling with staying in their lanes. I had no problems with staying in my lane."
