Hello everyone.
After testing driving my Telly for 64,000 miles, I can affirm that this is a darn good SUV/truck. Beyond the usual service recalls, I had no mechanical issues or problems. No unexpected trips to the shop. Drove the heck out of it from NC to Colorado, Massachusetts, NY and DC. Good long distance cruiser.
I was going to buy a Honda Ridgeline as full time AWD utility vehicle to drive my 3 children to college/grad school, carry gardening supplies, and go fishing vehicle. But the road feel was surprising not good and acceleration was lukewarm. When I priced the full package, non rain proof bed cover, and 5 foot bed - it didn't make a lot of sense.
On my Telly, I put a plastic liner in the cargo space, and plastic back seat liners for the 2nd and 3rd rows. When I put all the seats down, I have a lined cargo area of 7 foot that can go roof high and completely water tight. I only wish the SX had 2nd row bench, rather than captain's chair, but I found a console organizer that fits between the captain's chair that mostly fills in the space.
Overall very happy with my SUV/truck. Too bad they don't make the Nightfall package anymore. Highly recommended.
