Pros: Usable Space, easy cleaning, fun design, decent mpg, sporty handling.
Cons: Blind spots, headlights blink, seats move, cheap-feeling interior.
The Bottom Line: If you want a highly reliable, highly functional and highly flexible vehicle that won’t break the bank, you can’t do better than the Honda Element.
I like my Element. In fact, I might even love it. I bought my E with very specific needs. I needed enough space to load an assembled real estate yard sign in, and I wanted a vehicle with good mileage, as gas was $2.00/gallon when I entered the car ...

Pros: reliability, versatility, ease of cleaning, fuel mileage, low-emissions, cargo space, comfort, leg room.
Cons: blind spot
The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend it- it's a well-built, reliable, somewhat eco-concious, comfortable and versatile SUV.
I purchased my 2003 Element brand-new in 2003. It's my first Honda and I couldn't be happier with it. In 4 years and over 33,000 miles, I have not had a single problem with it ever. It's reliable, comfortable, drives nicely, and it's versatile. It also ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Different Look, Roomy Back Seats, Good Price, Utility (room for junk), Mileage vs. other SUVs
Cons: Only 4 seats, Creature Comforts/Not Extras, Some Add-ons should be standard
The Bottom Line: I love mine so far - Fun to drive, Great utility & value. Not for those needing more than 4 seats or afraid to be different.
This review focuses on the initial impressions after 3 days of driving (appx. 150 miles). We came down to a decision between the Element or a used Land Rover Discovery -- very different cars, I know. But the decision was based on need for something to ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Smooth engine and auto transmission, cool looking, fun to drive, solid feel
Cons: Accessories that the EX should include, no switch to lock in all wheel drive
The Bottom Line: This is a very useful SUV that's fun and comfortable to drive.
I've had mine for a few weeks now and really love it. I've been on snow and ice and it feels very stable though I wish there was a switch (like the Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute has) to lock in the AWD. It feels much bigger inside than it looks outside....

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fun, unique styling, functional interior, great ride, MP3 jack (EX), nice stock radio (EX)
Cons: Rear windows don't roll down, no standard remote keyless entry, side airbags are not standard
The Bottom Line: A confident, functional, and gutsy car that blows away the cookie cutter design. A gem in the rough, and a true value among dull, overpriced heaps of SUV metal.
Dateline 12/15/2002:
The Honda Element will be released in about four days. I keep trying to put it out of my mind, but no, the damn thing keeps getting in the way of me thinking about important things like work, Christmas, New Years,...

Pros: Tons of interior space; fuel efficient and fun to drive.
Cons: No front sunroof.
The Bottom Line: I'd buy it again...I recommend a test drive!
I am so glad that I chose the Element as my first new car. It is everything I needed and more! The Element initially appealed because of its ultra-practical design (compact exterior/cavernous interior). The very reasonable sticker price didn’t hurt, ...

Pros: looks
handling
ride
stereo
room
versatility
price
Cons: Keyless entry should be standard
Center console should be standard
The Bottom Line: Go drive an Element!
I'm not a fan of SUVs and much prefer the agility and handling of cars. However, I got an Element b/c I wanted something with more space to chuck my bikes in without cramming them in my car or loading a bike rack.
Well I got that and a lot...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: fun new design, versatile, fun to drive, roomy
Cons: limited standard equipment, only seats four
The Bottom Line: Honda's kicky new design is aimed at Generation Y, but Boomers love it too.
Lots of people claim to "live in their cars"; do you? If so, what kind of room is your vehicle? Some are outfitted as media rooms, with high-end audio (and in some cases, video). Some are rolling offices, with clipboards and telephones and plug-in fax...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Versatile, Roomy/Spacious, Comfortable, Unique, Washable Interior, Controls Easy to access & FUN!
Cons: no bungee loops on passenger seat back. No inside tailgate release.
The Bottom Line: Looking for a truck that is a passenger car, that is reliable, has decent mpg, versatile and FUN!?! Get an Element!
When I first saw info on the Element (when it was just a little prototype) I thought odd, perhaps even ugly. I was looking (casually) for a vehicle.
I was seriously considering the CRV, but with reservations. I did not like the seat fabric of...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: great concept, good mechanic, good power, lot's of room inside
Cons: ugly shape, rigidity of the frame not improved,center of gravity is high
The Bottom Line: That's a good SUV, good gas millage, good performances, good braking, good in everything and it look's like a square!
I think this is the most ugly car in the new concepts this year. Some likes it, and some ates it.It's made on a CR-V platform but there are no sides structure. Same engine. Lets take about it more:
ACCELERATIONS
It does good at this...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: It's a Honda. High in sport, higher in utility.
Cons: It's a Honda. Few options and color choices. Options overpriced.
The Bottom Line: An economical, inexpensive SUV that is both fun and functional.
Our reasons for buying the Element were four: two dogs and two bikes.
We just sold our Ford Ranger pickup, and our Jeep Grand Cherokee is on the block, as our new Element replaces both of these cars, while serving also as an economical...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great fun to drive. Unique styling, versatile utility. Made by Honda
Cons: Expensive accessories, a little spartan
The Bottom Line: A true utility vehicle and has great versatility. It's appearance is odd but makes sense when you get to know it, and it's fun and engaging to drive.
Not wanting to be un-cool, I tried to suppress the laughter. I’d gone to my Honda dealer to look at an Odyssey, which was of course calm, refined and almost luxurious in exactly the way you’d expect. Then I saw an Element, standing tall and in...

Pros: Spacious, practical, and interior is spill proof. Great for shopping or other outdoor activities.
Cons: Must unbuckle seatbelt to let persons get into the backseat. Not a major problem.
The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this vehicle for several reasons. It's very versatile, roomy, practical and has great visibility. You also feel very safe in this vehicle.
I must admit that when I first saw the Honda Element I thought it was the ugliest duckling I had ever seen. I was looking for a vehicle and thought I'd stop by the Honda Dealership and look at the new Accord, however, was I ever in for a surprise. The...

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for an SUV that handles like a car and gets good gas mileage, this is the vehicle for you. Go get one!
When looking for my next vehicle, I wanted something that was fun to drive, yet be comfortable on road trips. I also wanted something with enough space to take all of our stuff camping and on trips.
I test drove the Ford Escape, Toyota...

Pros: Spacious and an extremely versatile vehicle.
Cons: Seatbelts must unbuckle for rear entry.
The Bottom Line: The Honda Element is the best purchase I've ever made as far as vehicles go. I can't imagine myself driving another car!!!
Great body design, fun, boxxy. It is called the mini-Hummer, is that like mini-me? Hmmmmmm. The lines are cool and interesting. I get stopped daily and asked about this car!!! The shape is interesting and modern. The head room is unreal (I'm 6'5"...
