Explore the 2011 Honda Element

My boyfriend has a Honda Element and I adore that car so

My boyfriend has a Honda Element and I adore that car so much. It’s so comfortable no matter where you sit and I love how the doors both open outward so that you can fit really big objects in with ease. Also this car has the BEST SPEAKERS EVER!!! I don’t know how they engineered it so good but these speakers are amazing. I love this car so much!!

Best car I have ever driven

I love the element. i am at my second. had a 2005 manual for 18 years. now a 2011 automatic. i have spinal problems and the upright seat position with great head and front room is unmatched by any other car i have ever tried. these cars are so amazingly reliable, age well, and are so roomy and easy to pack. easy in and out passenger seats. excellent cleanability. i could go on. as i said, i love the element. Honda please produce these cars again!

I'm Forever in Love.

I'm 6'0" and I'm on my 3rd Element. There's no other SUV that has suicide doors and can fit me at the same time. I remember when then they used to call it a Tupperware box on wheels when it first came out. I was saddened when Honda decided to discontinue the Element in 2011. Which is why I had to go buy the last model. I'm hoping they bring it back.

This Is A Pickup Truck

I'm not kidding. If you are in the market for a used small pick up truck then you should probably just buy a Honda Element instead. Able to haul pretty much anything you want if you take the rear seats out. Not carpeted on the inside which makes it easy to clean out. Practical and reliable.

ELEMENT LOVER

I owned 2 Elements, so sorry I don't still have them. I am in the process of purchasing another Element. This one is for my old age. I'm 80 and the Element is 20, so we belong together. This is the last of my bucket list and I'm very happy about that. I'll have this little "toaster on wheels" to tool around town, to see and be seen.

Reliable, versatile, funky-fun vehicle

Honda Element is not for everyone. Maybe that’s why I like it so much. Extremely reliable and versatile vehicle. Off the charts in funky factor. Loads of space to carry just about anything.

This car has met all my needs. It's roomy, also I attend a lot of festivals which I camp most of the time and this car is perfect for sleeping in and also acts as a truck for my landscaping biz.

Best of the fleet!

I currently own five late model vehicles, (Cadillac, Explorer, F150 crew cab, Jeep Wangler, and a 2011 Honda Element) the Element is by far my favorite! I’ve heard the Element described as the “Swiss Army Knife” of SUV’s ... how true!!! I bought the car new, it currently has 110k miles and runs like the day I drove it out of the showroom. So sad Honda stopped making this car

Rock Solid

Owned a 2005 that I drove to death. I knew when I bought the first one, this is the vehicle for me! Now I've got a 2011, and the styling changes only make me love it more.
