Top 10 Cars That Need An Extra Gear (or two)

Honda Ridgeline (5AT)

Is the Ridgeline a truck? Is it an SUV? Whatever you want to call it, there’s a five-speed auto and that has to change. Paired to the cars 3.5-liter V6 engine, the total package results in just 17 MPG combined, making this truck hard to recommend versus real trucks like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 that both have more power and require less fuel. Upgrading the transmission would help the Honda Ridgeline deliver better fuel numbers.
