Test Drove a Ridgeline So today I got bored so me and a friend went to the Honda dealer and decided to test a Ridgeline. I loved it. It had a whole bunch of cool features like in the bed you can lift up the floor and it has this storage thing with a drain underneith it that you can put ice in and stuff or wash it out with a hose. I also loved the way the tail gate opens sideways or up and down. Anyways we just drove a basic one with leather and manuvering it was easy, handled really good and didn't roll as much as my mom's Pilot which I found odd since they are basically the same thing. Anyways heres my likes and dislikes list:
Likes
*Nice firm seats (leather)
*Easy handling, it doesn't feel big
*Smooth ride
*Easy access to controls
*Very versitile
*Alot of factory options
*Good pickup
*Storage space left and right
*Tailgate opens 2 ways... it amused me haha
Dislikes
*Not enough power to haul my 2 horses around
*Still not too sure about the exterior apperance
Overall
A good idea, with more power it would be ideal

Rep Power: 346 Awesome. Hahaha... well, it seems like this will be another underpowered Honda, but at least it does everything else right.
Honda really should take a page from Nissan. Make a few engines and modify those to fit each application. A V8 would be great... but then again, everyone says that.

Rep Power: 340 My dealer is really cool, they don't work off commission so it doesn't matter if they sell or not so they pretty much will let you drive anything... plus the sales guy was 23 and way more intrested in me then a sale haha it was funny

Rep Power: 330 my dad has an 03 tundra, both those and the titans are awesome trucks. the ridgeline is more practical for the person that wants a truck but isnt going to tow much. the ridgeline with the honda accessory grille looks awesome. good review btw.

Yeah, a 17 year old just decides to go intoa car dealership that supposedly doesn't deal with commission and asks to test drive and they just hand over the keys.... I call a big BS on this one... 
Oh, wait... you must have pulled up in "you and your boy's 05 Mustang" right?

Rep Power: 293 I can't wait till Honda breaks the 300 hp barrier. When their cars hit over 350hp, then we can see an aweseme ridgeline.
