Purchased As New
Was actually looking for an SUV. I always thought the Ridgeline was sort of "funky" looking. Then, I got behind the wheel and drove it. From that point on, there was no turning back.
The ride is smooth and the handing very precise. Braking is nothing but the best - quick, sure and straight. Love the interior styling and all the room for people and storage. More than enough for my 6'2" frame. The seats are firm and very supportive - great on a long trip. The inside is one of the quietest I have found in just about any vehicle (especially a truck). Road noise is at a minimum. There is just a little engine noise that comes through, but not enough to have anyone raising their voice to be heard - even when talking with someone in the back seat.
The accelleration from a stop is as though there is a much larger engine under the hood. And, the gas mileage isn't all that bad - averaging 19+ so far. The trunk in the bed is a wonderful design and so large. It is large enough to hold all I normally travel with. The tailgate design is the best. Swinging it open allows me very easy access to the trunk.
I had it in snow (for the first time) just recently and that is when I truly appreciated the drive train. Love the way it went into 4WD on its own and it was very stable and sure-footed. Then, when back on dry pavement, it is back to FWD. A wonderfully SMART system.
In closing, this is far and above the best vehicle I have ever owned. My dealer made the entire purchase process very easy and without any of the normal pressuring. With what Honda offers in the Ridgeline, it sells itself. And now, I love the styling. I have started "tricking out" my Ridgeline -- added the air deflector to the hood and running boards.
I have had people approach me in parking lots to tell me what a wonderful looking vehicle I have - I have the Dark Cherry Pearl and my running boards are black. GREAT LOOKING!! LOVE MY RIDGELINE!!
