I also hated the way it drove. I was completely & utterly disappointed too as I really have loved my Honda's. I'm not sure why, but the thing drives really strange to me.
So....a Toyota owner I became and picked up a Tundra. Much, much better view in the Tundra from all sides and it feels like a truck, not a car-that-looks-like-a-truck.
I honestly WANTED the Ridgeline to drive great because I'm such a fan of Honda's, but I was completely disappointed. Here's hoping the Mahindra isn't such a disappointment as the Ridgeline was.
Also, what's with the trunk? If ya have a load of dirt in the bed and you need to get in the trunk, how's that going to happen? I never could figure out why the stuck a trunk in the bed of the truck. Strange if you ask me.

That is funny because after owning two Tacomas and driving the new Tundra I felt completely opposite. To each his own.
After driving Toyotas, the Ridgeline drives like a Lexus.
Also, the trunk is fantastic for a lot of things. How often is the bed going to be full? Maybe a lot for you, but for me only occasionally. The guy that developed the Ridgeline spent a lot of time watching what people needed out of a truck.
