Re: 2006 Honda Ridgeline RTS 有ong-Term Wrap-Up [12.22.6]

It ain't ugly, but it ain't pretty either. Despite that, I love my silver RTS!

Many vehicles have pushed the envelope of design tastes since the beginning of the auto industry.

Some stand out as offenders of common taste. I don't consider the Ridgeline to fall into that category.

I've had mine for over a year now and I am as happy now as when I purchased it. This is the first vehicle I've had that I plan on driving until it doesn't run anymore. Being that it's a Honda and I maintain it well, I don't see longevity being an issue.

Function over form I love my RL. It may not the prettiest turck in the lot but it still draws a lot of attention.

FL Ridge - same here. Usually go through vehicles every three years, eyeballing a new one after one or so. Not this time. I also plan on running the RL until she just quits, which could be quite some time.

And BTW - I truly think it's the best looking vehicle on the road. LOVE the look. Never gotten so many compliments on a vehicle in my life.

Gotta disagree on the look. About the only angle it looks good from is when you have your back turned to it. Saw an F150 the other morning and it "looked" much better. But, beauty is only sheet metal deep.

Personally, I think it looks best from the driver's seat, which is the view I am most familiar with...

10 months and 27K miles and still "new". Comfort and ease of driving? Those miles include 2 days of back-to-back 1200 miles/day! And I couldn't get 400 miles/day out of my old back when I was driving my Ford Ranger.

According to the new Consumer Reports Auto edition, based on year 2006 data, CR posed the question among Pick Up owners: "Would you buy that truck again?" The highest was the RidgeLine. "Nuff Said"

Guess I'll have to pick up the magazine. I heard the CR editor on a radio talk show while on the way to work and he said the RL rated very high and was well liked by all of the staff who drove it. Here's more:
