2006 Honda Ridgeline Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by kolsen

Front seat room

i fit well

Quietness

not like body on frame truck. solid.

Brand reputation & image

it is a honda- was supposed to be trouble free. but it left me stranded when the ignition lockset failed. the thing would not start. rather disappointing at 46,000 miles, out of guarantee.

Exterior styling

it is obvious if you look at it

Fuel economy

i expected better- i get 17-18 over all. with a 1500 4wd chevy w/5.3 liter i got the same or better with much more power.

Powertrain performance

the transmission hunts a bit, low torque. i find 4000 rpm at times to maintain 75 on highway.

Driving position & visibility

driving position is fine. rear side visibility is bad. also, the defroster is marginal- has trouble keeping up with snow, ice. the ac is marginal also.
