- 2017 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E
Comparing a truck to an SUV is odd, some may say but read on.
Motorweek (PBS) had a review of the new CX 9 on its latest program.
Basically they really liked the CX, didn't mention the lack of front seat adjustment and got 22 MPG overall with it. 7.4 seconds for 0 60.
The signature trim was tested and John Davis had nothing negative to say about the interior whatsoever.
I was giving some serious thought (test drove a '16) on checking out a 2017 CX 9 but then discovered the new Honda Ridgeline.
Our RTL E should be delivered in mid-October.
Since the kids are grown we don't need three row seating, we will be trading our CX 5 and selling our '95 Toyota T100 PU, we will move from three vehicles to two.
The Pilot based RL is every bit as comfortable as a CX 9, the AWD gets 21 MPG overall - Car & Driver got 28 MPG in one on a highway loop - and does 0 60 in 6.6 seconds.
Of course the CX drives better, but the RL doesn't feel yuge like some trucks and handles really well in city driving for a PU.
We basically view this vehicle as a Pilot with a bed as does Car & Driver which has an article on it in this month's edition.
