Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda Ridgeline?
I like the ride and overall quality of this vehicle

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda Ridgeline?
Poor windshield wiper design! The wipers are nearly covered by the hood of the vehicle and it isn't possible to pull the wipers forward to adequately clean snow/ice from windshield area. This causes the blades to freeze up, as snow and ice collects, and to stop moving alltogether. Whoever designed this feature never drove in a NH winter.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda Ridgeline?
In-bed trunk is perfect for my salesman lifestyle. All-wheel-drive is the best in snow that I've ever driven. Sufficient power, great ride, excellent handling, classy looks.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda Ridgeline?
Only two things I don't like after 45,000 miles in one year: One, the composite bed material scratches very easily and the scratches show badly - they're white, and two, there isn't enough legroom in the drivers seat, and I'm not all that tall. If I put the seat back so the legroom is OK, then I can't reach the steering wheel. Needs a telescopic steering column.

2008 Honda Ridgeline Review:
I'm a sales rep in the tire business, and use my '08 Ridgeline RTL every day for sales calls, averaging over 100 miles every day, for 45,000 miles in the first year. This truck will haul plenty of weight, though the bed is quite short, and it will tow a fairly good sized trailer, though I wouldn't want to try a big travel trailer. I absolutely love the quality build of the Ridgeline, and have never, ever driven a vehicle that handles slick snowy roads as well as the Ridgeline with its VTM-4 All Wheel Drive system. No, it's not designed to be a real workhorse farm truck, but for what I do with it, it is perfect. Quiet, comfortable, good looking in my opinion, typical Honda quality, what more can you ask for?

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda Ridgeline?
Everything, except roof rack accessory. I had some difficulty with dealer resolving this problem.Problem is still there,dealer offered to buy rack back.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda Ridgeline?
Roof Rack makes wind noise that is very disturbing. This should be corrected by Honda.

2008 Honda Ridgeline Review:
Truck has great ride. I did have a defective power steering pump that leaked fluid. This was a factory defect on delivery.
