Used 2006 Honda Ridgeline Consumer Reviews
Just Right
Needed something reliable that was comfortable and would fit in garage. The Rigdeline is perfect. Holds anything I would ever carry. Does not beat you to death on rough roads, and the 4 wheel drive is exactly what I need--extra grip in rain and snow--- I will never be up some western canyon running over boulders in super low range, and neither will 98% of all other truck drivers I know. Just a great vehicle with decent gas mileage. Exterior styling is bulky, but safe. Maybe we could get one of those Italian stylists to do the first 4 year makeover. Then it would be perfect.
My first Honda, and what a truck!
This vehicle is amazing! When I drove it off the lot, I didn't want to stop driving it. It has everything that I was looking for in a truck. A ride that is unbelievably quiet and smooth, controls that are easily accessed, great fuel economy for a q-cab 4x4. I keep saying wow everytime that I drive it and I can tell that it's a feeling that I will continue to experience every time that I hop in and turn the key.

The perfect vehicle
The perfect vehicle for people living in snow country and mountains, that hauls occasionally -- but not big horse or boat trailers. Feels and rides like a car inside, but good power and 4WD ability when needed. The "trunk" is the perfect place to store tire chains, flares, tarps, ropes, etc. I can't imagine anything better!
Good Choice
I traded a 2003 Honda Pilot for a 2006 Ridgeline because the Pilot was getting worn out and torn up using it as a pickup. Hardly knew the difference with the Ridgeline as the ride and performance feel like the same vehicle. Performance is good, and love the new features. Oil is monitored by an onboard diagnostic unit that allows you to go further between changes. I get about 7000 miles before the light comes on, so no more 3000 miles/3 months. Only problem have experienced is the interior driver door handle linkage broke, covered under warranty. 17-19 MPG as a Houston commuter. Don't plan on using it to move or carry a king size mattress, the 5' bed is small, but big enough for me!
Part Time Pickup
I've been very impressed with the quality and with the handling. It is just enough pickup for what I need and will fit in my garage (barely).
We Love Our Ridgeline!
After three months and 6,000 miles, including a 3,500 mile roundtrip journey between Ohio and Texas, my wife and I love our Ridgeline. It's everything as advertised, and more. The ride is unbelievably smooth, quiet and comfortable. The dual climate control is fantastic. The EPA Mileage Rating of 21 MPG rang true. The in- bed trunk provides all the secure storage space one could ask for, and it's truly weather proofed. We drove through some serious thunderstorms, and several car washes to get the road grime off. Not a drop of water got inside the trunk. It also makes a great tailgate ice chest, too. Ridgeline is truly the wave of the future for any truck/suv owner.
nono
Overall I am very happy. I have owned a lot of autos and this is as close to having it all that I can get. Very versatile. handles like a sports car, will haul my atv, has 4x4, will seat 5. nice ride on highway. not like all the rest. a style all it's own.
Honda Ridgeline: a benchmark vehicle
Leave it to Honda to show the truck world how to do it right. The Ridgeline is such an innovative, intelligent design, we can look forward to Ford, GM, and Dodge copying its features over the next few years. It is hands down the best riding truck on the road! It is safer and better built than any domestic truck. Most people who buy the gargantuan F- 250's and F-350's don't really need the bulk, so unless you plan to haul or pull huge loads, the Ridgeline might just be the ticket.
Great Truck
Handles great and all the options are very easy to get to, for example air conditioning, radio, cruise control, and all of the features are easy and conveint. It drives like a car and has good pick up.
Excellent Blend/Cross-over vehicle
Whether you are researching the purchase of a truck,SUV, or a moderate luxury sedan-compare this vehicle-Then ask yourself "how do I use my vehicle?" I believe that Honda truely hit a huge niche with this model. It is not for everyone-don't expect to haul a loaded four horse trailer or pull down a house like an F-350. Nor should you expect to bust through mud or sand dunes like a Tacoma TRD or Grand Cheerokee. Those who are considering this model who have previously owned SUV's will most likely enjoy the additional cargo/storage space. Ever notice that SUV's keep getting larger, but the cargo space keeps getting smaller? The ride is better than any SUV or truck that I have driven.
