  I Love My Element - 2005 Honda Element
  By Ask Him - July 26 - 8:22 pm

  Fun to drive, easy to handle, great turning. I took my Element to the mountains last winter. No problems climbing those steep hilly roads with ice and wind.

  Little Blue Toaster - 2005 Honda Element
  By Chris - July 15 - 7:23 am

  I have loved the blue toaster since the first day off the lot. The manual transmission has great pick-up and can get out of its own way. This is a great little car for someone like me who has three dogs and a back yard that has needed lots of love in the last year. That means lots of trips to home depot to use the mop clean interior of the car. Also the bike mount on the interior of the car has come in handy. But here is a tip...you can make one yourself instead of paying the dealer $300 for the accessory. Get the mount at REI and a large screw some washers and a small piece of wood from home depot. Happy toasting and see you on the road. Remember to wave hello in your new toaster.

  Best ever dog crate! - 2005 Honda Element
  By kmagman - July 7 - 9:56 am

  I really LOVE this Element. I have 3 Australian Shepherds who travel everywhere with me and I can fit 3 dogs crates in the back with no problem. Cleaning the interior is easy. The Element handles well, handles mountain grades with ease and has reasonable fuel economy at 23-24 mpg. Great ski vehicle too!

  Cargo Khaki - 2005 Honda Element
  By Paul Frichtl - July 5 - 1:10 pm

  Ive had my "E" for a little more than a week and have put over 500 miles on it - and love it! I bought it as our crossover car and my daily driver. I drive in DC traffic and have found that having a 5 spd manual a plus - especially with four cylinder engine.

  So far its a fantastic, practical vehicle. No problems in first year of ownership. A breeze to clean inside, the EX has a completely washable interior, including the headliner.

  This element rocks - 2005 Honda Element
  By mac - May 12 - 9:44 pm

  Ive driven this car hard for 25 k in year with not a single part to break or malfunction. Ive hauled a 16 foot touring kayak inside the car to and from the beach. Interior is awesome for space. Great stereo with xm satellite radio. My ten year old son loves it "because I get a lot of fun out of it." He likes to fold the seats back all the way flat.

  Luv my Element! - 2005 Honda Element
  By J.T.Wallace - May 6 - 8:39 am

  I like this vehicle better than any I have ever owned (I am age 62 and have driven or owned many vehicles). Fun to drive, loads of room and very practical... it is just me! Just as comfortable on long trips as running down to get a few groceries, click on cruise control and gas mileage is even better. Climbs mountains with ease and handles curves on switchback roads well. I have recommended it to others many times.

  Love my black-on-black Element - 2005 Honda Element
  By E-Chick - April 29 - 5:48 pm

  I got a great deal on a great car-truck-SUV-thingee after loads of research on other vehicles....started off wanting an Xterra or Rav4, then tested a Liberty. Hadnt even thought of an Element because to be honest and shallow? I hated the grey panel thing...then I found the black-paneled black EX and couldnt believe how awesome it looked and performed and got decent mileage too. Plus I bought carpet with mine - very cool! Inside and out Im pleased and believe my Honda will be at least as reliable as my Toyota. Highly recommend the E...the EX-P models really make it more attractive to more people.
