Honda ridgeline rtl-e has it all.
The ridgeline is so comfortable. It has a smooth ride no matter the road conditions. It has many safety features, including a backup camera. I like that each key fob controls the personalized settings like seats and mirrors. The menu is large and easy to read. The sound system is fantastic.

Ridgeline. Two in one. You get luxury of car and durability of truck.
Easy ride, it is like a car and truck combined. Great on gas and has all of the bells and whistles that you would want. Smooth ride like car but has this awesome ice chest in the back of the truck. Love it. My ridgeline is an easy ride yet stands ready to be a rough and ready truck and rides like a smooth riding auto. Wouldn't change a thing.

Best of a very good group.
I have been driving pickups and SUVs for 30+ years and prior to this Honda I had 2 Mercedes Benz SUVs. I have owned ford, dodge and GMC pickups and I can say that my Honda ridgeline is far beyond any of my previous vehicles in creature comfort and innovation. I mean it is a pickup truck with a trunk.

Best vehicle purchase ever.
I love everything about this vehicle. The ridgeline features that I enjoy are line notification if drifting, the sky roof, the brake notification when to close, the smart cruise control, etc. These all make this one of the best and smartest vehicles I have ever owned.

Driving a Honda again. Glad to be back.
Will always own a pick-up truck and the ridgeline performs both tasks as a vehicle to haul things around with and to use it for shuttling my grand kids around in, comfortably and safely. Prior to this vehicle I drove a truck with a v8 engine and now with two less cylinders up front, gas consumption will be greatly decreased.

The cup holders in my car is something I find interesting.
My car is such a big help in my day it has perfect gear and gas use but I do have some problems with the brakes because sometimes the pedal is just a little too hard to push down and no I haven't had a big problems with it but it does get a little annoying.

Fun exploring car which a kick to it.
My car in terms of problems have had some ac issues but we’re easily fixed. I think my car has some great power to it. I think it is really comfy because it has leather seats. Some cool features it has is sports mode which makes my car feel sporty, fun, and fast. I am a fan of the looks of the car and the performance.

The wheels are nice and big.
It is fast, drives smooth and people really told me the back seats can move to where kids can lay down at. The trunk opens automatically so no worries if u have a lot of groceries. Wherever you go shopping make sure no one takes the water bottles that they have on the side.
