Pros: Very practical, seats fold up and out of the way
Cons: Somewhat noisy, seating only for 4
The Bottom Line: A unique looking vehicle, which is very practical, but a sparsely appointed interior.
When my wife started looking for a car the appearance and exterior color where her primary concerns (as well as having power steering). We also wanted something which we could use to haul stuff from Home Depot back to our house.
The Toyota...

Pros: Versatile, fun to drive.
Cons: Seats, seatbelts for only 4 people. Gas milage for 4cyl? I get 23-25 hwy.
The Bottom Line: Great car, great features, very few drawbacks. Not for large families. Buying another when the time comes!
I bought this car (new) as a replacement car for my 2-dr Ford Explorer after adding to our family, and having it be nearly impossible to haul a baby in and out of the back of an suv. I did not anticipate how crazy I would become about it! The "suicide ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Excellent long term experience. Would buy another one in a heartbeat.
Cons: Wish it had a six-speed transmission.
The Bottom Line: Highly recommend the Element over comparable vehicles. Tremendous value, loads of fun, trouble free ownership.
I have owned my 2003 Honda Element for just over three years and love it now as much as the day I bought it. I originally purchased it for snowy Connecticut winters and haven't been disappointed...but I don't push the AWD capabilities. The fun and ...

Pros: Great Visability, Spacious, Easy to clean, Diffrent, Comfortable
Cons: Options/Extras are to expensive
The Bottom Line: It's Honda what more can you say. Reliable, and it can last you a very long time.
Design of the Element reminds me of a EURO SUV.... VW? The exterior of the car is not liked by a lot ...

Pros: Distinctive Styling, Great Cargo Capacity, Price, Honda Reliability!!
Cons: Seating for only 4
The Bottom Line: Besides the goofy design of rear seats and the fact that this SUV only seats 4, I recommend looking into the Honda Element.
The fact is their are so many small SUV's on the market now, that it can sometimes become overwhelmi ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Looks, handling, MPG, roomy, versatile seats/interior. Cleanable after muddy paws & dog hair.
Cons: Low console needs cover or a liner that pops out for cleaning. Bigger rear bumper!
The Bottom Line: I recommend this SUV to anyone looking for a great combination of price, versatility, looks, and gas mileage.
This little SUV truck is fun to drive, great for stashing snowy ski or snow gear quickly, hospitable to two dogs, easy to clean (except for console), and a delight to look at (once you get used to it). It handles well in the snow, even on back roads to ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Roomy, handles like a car, easy to clean. Honda reliability.
Cons: Poor rear and side visibility. Poor mileage.
The Bottom Line: For all its flaws, it's still probably the best of the micro-SUVs on the market.
I only buy a new car once a decade, when the last one is on its last legs, and when I do, I do it very empirically. I want (1) reliability (2) room to haul sporting and musical equipment (3) safety and (4) value. I usually end up have two vehicles- a ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fun! Tight turning radius. Highly practical. Turns heads. Very roomy.
Cons: Um, er, well ... it wasn't free.
The Bottom Line: It's quite simply the best affordable car on the market today. No question.
Let's get one thing on the table at the start: my wife and I *LOVE* this vehicle. I could write a multi-volume novel about the vehicle's neat features, but I'll try to summarize to the greatest extent possible. TIGHT TURNING RADIUS, EASY TO PARK ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: roomy interior, rugged, drives well in snow
Cons: blind spots, people perceive it as ugly
The Bottom Line: This vehicle is perfect for someone that carries passengers and occasionally has to carry cargo.
Anything would have been an upgrade from my Kia Sportage. Anything. I wanted an affordable SUV but could not find anything. That is when a friend that worked at a Honda dealership told me about the Element. I had seen them before and thought that it ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Basic, comfortable, rooooooomy, easy clean. Big enough to carry a lot, small enough to drive.
Cons: Move or add another front DC plug. Only seats four.
The Bottom Line: A roomy, comfortable box on wheels. If that's what you need and can live with four seats, then the Element is your ride.
The Element is exactly what it seems -- a comfortable box on wheels. I bought the Element because, at times, I need to haul around things that would make carpet, seats, soft interior surfaces and, in short, most cars, pretty wrecked pretty fast. The ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: It's a Honda. It is functional. It's a Honda
Cons: Bed configuration needs work, seats only 4, side impact rating low
The Bottom Line: Bottom Line? This is my first NEW car and I am positive I made the right choice. My next car will more than likely be another Element.
The most unique feature of this car is how it looks. I got mine last January and I am still turning a head or two. It is BOXY, no doubt about it. Some say to the point it is ugly. SO!!! I have made 2 road trips in it so far and I love it. First trip Sp ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good mileage, super reliable, comfy ride - what's not to love
Cons: In 4 years of car ownership I never found a negative
The Bottom Line: I'd buy this car again in a heartbeat.
I was one of the first people in Houston Texas to own an Element back in 03. I purchased a blue Element DX and never regretted it for an instant. When I went to purchase a car, I had several candidates, ranging from a Subaru to a Saturn to the Honda CRV. ...

Pros: Attractive styling, durability, ample power, versatility, economy, high coolness factor.
Cons: Lack of standard equipment like cruise, A/C and a stereo.
The Bottom Line: yes! I highly recommend this one for anyone with an active lifestyle. Particularly animal lovers!!
Simple, non-flashy, rugged exterior. Simple yet fun colors available (mine is blue). I traded in my 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee for the Element. I have dogs, and we go everywhere together. I'm looking forward to not having to get my carpet steam cleaned ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Goofy looking, fun, versatile, big inside, small outside, great for tall people
Cons: Goofy looking, engine seems to rev high, low gas mileage
The Bottom Line: Don't buy one - I don't want to have the same car as everyone else.
Ok, I have had my Honda Elephant for a week and I love it. The name came from my son and seems to fit. It is such an unusual, goofy, weird looking, ugly car that it is cute in spite of itself. I purchased the EX model with standard shift, and it is fun ...
