2008 Honda Ridgeline RTS review from North America
"This is the do it all everyday truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I push this truck pretty hard, and nothing negative has happened whatsoever.
General comments?
Before I bought the Ridgeline, I was shopping around looking for a multi-use/multi-practical everyday SUV/Truck.
I wanted a vehicle that did everything well. I wanted to be comfortable driving it to work everyday. I also play hard too. I'm into all different types of sports so I'm always throwing sports equipment in and out of the ride. Basketball, Baseball, Golf.
On top of all that, I play in two bands where I'm also throwing band equipment in and out of the ride too.
This truck handles like a dream... no joke! I don't need a huge rock crawler that tows 10,000 lbs like every other guy thinks that they need. Honda did it right. I might not consider it a full blown truck... but whatever it is... Honda always knows how to do things different from any other car company. It's a Honda... aka it's going to last a LONG LONG time.
