Really best of the small trucks.

I had a ford F-150 and then a Honda Pilot. No longer needed a large vehicle, but wanted the convenience of a pick-up truck. This truck suits my needs perfectly.

Overall a really nice truck

This is the third Ridgeline I have owned and although I really like it I loved my '06 and '07 better. They seemed to be of better utility and value for a mid optioned model. Continue to have front brakes clunking (been in shop 5 times but "no issues"? per service dept. Also blows hot air out of rear vents when front A/C is on, again was told everything "checked out". Very comfortable and well optioned, no doubt, but I think Honda is starting to slip on the quality and dealers dont really seem to care. Buy another new one? On the fence......

Best city/highway driving truck ever!

If you don't tow 5000 + regularly, this truck blows away everything dollar for dollar. If the Ram was as trouble free, it would come closer to being a long term rival.

Most versatile car for work and fun

It looks like a truck but drives like an SUV. When you drive it, on or off the road you tend to forget that there is a truck bed behind the cabin. But then it comes handy when you need it.

What a ride!

Aside from being a beautiful redesigned Ridgeline the ride is absolutely heaven. It’s like riding on air. The interior design looks like the pilots dashboard. The heated leather seats and cargo space under the rear seats gives ample storage space for groceries, visiting your local home store etc. With a nice six to propel you down the open highway and a nice truck bed and a hidden deep well storage space what more can you ask for.

Great, versatile ride

Love the ride—combines comfort and the versatility I've been wanting from my previous SUV. And I don't have to qualify the nice ride by adding "for a truck". My wife will back me up on this.

So far, best truck I have ever owned

The Ridgeline fills a small gap of the person who likes the ride of a car, but needs the functionality of a truck on occasion. Much like the El Camino did in the past, but much better looking, IMO. I replaced a 2006 Nissan Frontier (which I loved and was very reliable). The Ridgeline rides so smooth and the functionality is great. The in bed trunk has proven very handy. If I had to do it all over again, I definitely would.

Not like ant truck I've owned before.

This truck is quiet, efficient and well thought out and does everything a weekend warrior needs. I've owned Hondas before and I'm always impressed with the quality of the interior materials and their reputation for reliability. I found the information display easier to use than reviews I'd read. I researched this purchase for 3 years and all I can tell you is when my wife drives it all she can say is "wow". I second that reaction.
