Love my Element!

This is my second Honda Element and it is perfect for transporting 1 large dog and 2 cats in kennels to the mountain cabin and return. The roomy interior is comfortable and it has no problem at all with snow. Not the best gas mileage but I wouldn’t drive anything else!

Love my Element

This is the second Element that I have owned. I love the versatility that it has. I can haul everything that I want to then take a house and clean it out if needed. It’s not for everyone but is great for me.

The Boxy Classic - Move People & Stuff Anywhere

The Good: * Easy to drive, maneuver, park * High truck-like seating - you cruise on top of the world * Multiple configurations: Back seats in, up, or removed * Handles dirt, gravel, snow, sand with ease * Easy to clean the inside - use a leaf blower to instantly evacuate debris from the rubber floors * Reliable - no problems with regular maintenance - 72000 miles and we just replaced the brakes and tires this year THE FLAWS: * Not much power - handles hills OK, but no fast acceleration on to a freeway * For people with limited mobility it can be hard to get in and out * Suicide doors - have to open front door to open back door * Pretty basic interior - look elsewhere for sophistication

It's a toaster I love to drive.

Owned one in the past and loved it. Not the most powerful engine for the vehicle weight, but it's peppy and reasonable on fuel. It's a down right ugly vehicle but it ticks all the boxes for my outdoor lifestyle...looks be damned. This toaster will serve me well for many years to come.

Best vehicle for the money I've ever had!

I can see why so many folks have had 3-4 Hondas. It's my first Honda and I love it. VERY reliable, good performance, good ride, and easy to maintain and I also get 36 mpg. on the highway with the A/C going.

Best car ever.

Super utilitarian but still very comfortable. Never heard of a more reliable car! It?s never given me an issue, even with 225K on it. If you?re looking for a vehicle with space, for camping, or just a fun driver, it?s a great choice. It?s a shame they discontinued them.

I would leave my family for this car

It?s fun, it?s reliable and it?s super spacious. I love how the seats fold up, gives some extra storage and my dog lays on her bed comfortably in the back.
