2006 Honda Ridgeline RTS review from North America
"The new direction for pickup trucks, the domestics have a lot to live up to"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
As a previous Accord V6 and Pilot owner I was a little worried about acceleration, and in town it does feel a little laborious unless you keep it in D3 or lower.
In the mountains and on dirt trails it is far superior to the pilot and any other 4WD I have owned, though I wouldn't want to take it off road.
On twisty roads it handles more like a sedan than any truck. Lots of passenger room and the in bed trunk is a marvelous feature.
