2011 Honda Ridgeline Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2012 | 4dr SUT 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
I too love that the rearseats can both flip up. This offers me alot of rear floor space to haul my music gear instead of laying it out on the rear bed area. see full Honda Ridgeline review |
2010 | 4dr SUT 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
The interior is the Ridgelines stronges point. Comfortable front and back and a feeling a space. The lack of transmission tunnel and column mounted shifter in particular make the front cabin roomy. see full Honda Ridgeline review |
