Black Edition worth the wait

It will be hard to find. If you want one be prepared to put a deposit down and wait for it to come off the assembly line. I have been wanting a Ridgeline for years. I am a Honda loyalist and at first I didnt like the new look. Until I drove it, the thing drives like a car. I am 6'3 so I am used to looking over people when I walk and when I drive and this fits the bill. The lane keep assist will basically drive for you for approx 15 seconds and there is storage everywhere. The power back window was a unexpected bonus along with the Honda assist for 3 garage doors.

Ridgeline Happy

Bought the RTL-E top line model mostly for the tech features. Hard to find in exterior/interior color combination I wanted for reasonable price, but can be done with patience and negotiation. Replaced a 2004 Honda Element at 120K miles. The major selling point after a test drive was the ride quality and quietness. VERY carlike. Rides as well as my 2010 Acura MDX and 2013 Chrysler 200 hardtop convertible and a little better than our 2015 Nissan Murano Platinum. Great compromise between a SUV and a full-size pickup truck for light to moderate duty. 3 months and 1500 miles later, I'm very happy with the Ridgeline. My wife is loving it and me for her truck. Owned the Ridgeline for approximately for 20 months and still in love. Other than a slow infotainment system, I have found no warts. This is an extremely vesatile vehicle. IT is often the vehicle of choice for long road trips or quick trips to the public dump. Added running boards for looks and aids washing the roof. A pricey choice, but planning to keep the Ridgeline for 10 years+, so the price over time will be absorbed in the long term happy ownership.

The most versatile vehicle on the market. Waited three years to get a new one. Wait was worth it.

Cold Ridgeline

The Honda engineers should move to a Minnesota winter climate to re-engineer the interior heating system. At a stoplight when it's below zero, the duct air temperature drops to cool air from warm air. Accelerating restores the heated warm air. The dash temperature gauge shows slightly lower than middle. Took it into a local Honda dealer to find after diagnosis that the thermostat is functioning properly and the coolant level is correct. Bottom line is there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. Told this is the norm with the aluminum block v6. I still cannot believe I was told this. As stated earlier, the engineers should leave the tropics and try Minnesota in the winter to readjust their thinking.

Traded in our 2009 Ridgeline w/ all bells and whistles. The new 2017 is lighter, quieter, steers straighter, more alive and fun to drive. The navigation is way easier lights are where they should be and both the headlights and taillights , LED are beautiful. RDl-E. love it
