Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: cool design,lots of storage when you clap the seats up,good gas milage,compact but roomy,
Cons: only 4 seats,uncomfortable back seats,hard to get in and out of the back-seats,not child friendly,
The Bottom Line: Great car for young people that need to transport stuff like amps etc - not good for a family or older people.
From the very first day I got this baby I called it 'Boxy'. And Boxy did it's duties. We used it many times to move our band gear around or transport other goods without having to rent a van. I loved that you were able to easily clap the back-seats up ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Price, Cargo (space, loading/unloading), seat configuration, easy to clean.
Cons: passengers getting in/out of the back seat, back seat only has room for two
The Bottom Line: If you want something useful and economical, go get one. If you want a glamorous car to impress your friends with, get something else.
My friend and I both bought new cars last year. We both do a lot of mountain bike riding and snow-boarding, but I also needed a work rig for hauling around tools and big dirty parts. He got an Xterra and I payed several thousand less for an Element ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: - Quality
- Reliability
- MPG & Emissions
Cons: - Door Use next to parked cars
- Manual Windows in rear
The Bottom Line: Though not a "macho" SUV it's better than them in every way as you are safe driving it and so is everyone around you.
Research - Was looking to replace a mazda protege5 wagon that was having several issues even though it was still under warranty (25k miles). I needed something reliable but flexible to haul items but not be wasteful in emissions or gas guzzling for ... read more

Pros: Don't let the 4 cylinder engine fool you. This one is powerful.
Cons: Do not lease this car. You will be driving it.
When looking for an affordable, versatile, and reliable vehicle, the Honda Element was the first on our list of cars to test drive. We wanted the space and versatility that the SUV's had to offer without the hefty price tag and high gas consumption. Our

Great car, but poor gas mileage, low engine power

Author's Product Rating: 40
Recommended: Yes
Pros: Spacious, sturdy, comfortable, well thought out.
Cons: Poor mileage, mediocre engine power.
I really like the configuration of this car. I bought my 06 new in Dec 05. It averages 18 MPG. If Honda came out with a hybrid Element, I'll buy it! The engine feels like it's throttled way down. It should have more power. My 91 Accord with 350K miles

Author's Product Rating: 40
Recommended: Yes
Pros: It's a Honda engine and drive train.
Cons: Wiper speed control, only 1 power door lock control.
We purchased the Y package (Canada). Everything so far is mechanically fine. My gripe is the single speed intermittent wipers, single drivers side only power door lock and lastly, I upgraded to the console style arm rest to get rid of the skinny arm

We got our 2006 Element - an EX-P (meaning all painted) in maroon that is 4x4 - in December 2005 and fell in love with it instantly. The car drives really well, is comfortable and roomy as well. The seat are comfy, though the armrests leave a little to
