My Ridgeline is essentially a $60,000 refridgerator on wheels. When temperatures are below freezing, the vehicle takes forever to warm up. When temperatures are below -20F, the vehicle never warms up enough to take coats off. Winter boots MUST be worn as there is not enough airflow to keep feet warm. If there are more than 2 people in the vehicle, it is almost impossible to keep windows clear. If stuck in traffic, or in stop/go traffic, the heater blows COLD air. Not even lukewarm. Cold. This past winter I was stuck on the highway due to a traffic jam and the temperature was -25F. It was COLD in the vehicle. Driving in the city, I need to drive from one end to the other before the vehicle is comfortably warm.
If I could sell this vehicle without huge depreciation, I would in a heartbeat. I will never, never, never, never buy another Honda product. Anytime anyone asks how I like the Ridgeline, I tell them I like how it looks and drives. I also tell them to never buy one unless they plan on living south of the Macon Dixon line.
