I am (was?) inches from pulling the trigger on a 07 RTL (red, no navi), but I've got some serious concerns now - the leak thing is right at the top.
Consistent posts about rattles, static on radios, and hidden expenses force me to reconsider my Honda-takes-care-of-you assumption (My familiy has owned nothing but honda/accura for 10+ years)...I realize that the first model year is always dangerous, but we're past that now. I also realize a lot of the threads were started in 05, but I also see recent entries that indicate problems are not going away...At the same time you guys/gals seem to love your trucks.
I need to hear from some '07 owners and your experiences, pro and con, and have a direct question for all you '05 and '06 owners: "Would you buy it again? Why?"
Talk me back into it...

I was in the same boat as you but I bought it anyway. I would definitely buy another one if I had too. I have had 0 problems except for a few quirks. 1, I need to get the tranny TSB done. I've experienced some of the symptoms that the TSB will fix. 2, a small part of the sunroof molding is kinked. Dealer should be able to fix that. And lastly 3, my biggest complaint... I wish gas mileage was better but I'm sure its better than a bigger truck and pretty sure its comparable to the Taco (my second choice).
Other than that, the truck has been awesome. Drives and rides real nice. Never had the leak (just this past weekend, I ran a hose with running water at that suspected corner and it was completely dry inside) or any other issues mentioned here. I did hav e the annoying wind noise but that was due to my rack and yakima snowboard rack. Once I removed it, it was quiet again. I think some are just a little paranoid with some of the issues mentioned here, but really, all cars have their issues.
Oh wait..I do have one complaint...I was the bed was a tad longer. I couldn't fit my bikes in the back without turning the front wheels. I think I can fix that though with just buying a bed extender
