  Japanese Hummer - 2005 Honda Element
  By Richard W - December 3 - 4:26 am

  This must have been one of the Ugliest truck when it first came out. However, for some reason, it was also the reason that I purchased it, its ugliness caught my attention. Best choice that i ever made, I must have went through 40 cars already and I love the element based on price, value, and reliability. I cant believe how useful this truck is hauling the weirdest stuff around. There are many things that i like about this truck and things that i think Honda can improve on. Things that I like about this truck is it hauls alot I mean alot of stuff. Its cheap from the dealer, its awd, good in the snow and comes pretty loaded for around $20k. cant complain at all!

  Lovin my Element - 2005 Honda Element
  By gary - November 17 - 9:07 am

  This is the most practical vehicle Ive ever owned. Its a hoot to drive and its as rugged as it is dependable. Sometimes aerodynamics are overated. This little "box" gets 25+ MPG and keeps up with most vehicles on the Interstate. However, it could use a couple more inches of ground clearance.

  Very Spacious Interior - 2005 Honda Element
  By Carl - November 15 - 4:10 pm

  Roomy versitile cargo space in a small package. Ease of entry and exiting car is superb. Free of rattles and noise level is accepable. Same engine as Accord so power is adequate. Finish is good but lots of composite parts. If you want a practical, economic SUV to haul things and carry four people in comfort its great. This is not plus inside,no carpeting and seats are comfortable but basic.I have not yet tested the 4WD feature in bad WX like snow. It works for me.

  Excellent vehicle for mothers. - 2005 Honda Element
  By honda element - November 9 - 10:36 pm

  Who knew someone thought about mothers and their babies. I love the water proof seats and floor and ready made bed for those long days at the park and the mall. Thank you Honda for thinking of us. Now I do not have to worry about my car smelling like Similac or trying to scrub those juice stains.

  Salesmans Dream - 2005 Honda Element
  By beerman19841 - November 8 - 11:51 pm

  As a sales rep for a map company, I use my Element to haul my product to service my route. I love the amount of cargo space and headroom (Im 65") and it is just plain fun to drive. I have plenty of power and the gas mileage (22- 25 mpg) is a major plus.

  True MPV Not SUV - 2005 Honda Element
  By 4fun - November 8 - 1:37 pm

  Very unique vehicle. Youll get the stare. Its an MPV not an SUV. Small but great for big people. Gets tossy not tippy on high speed. Not a racer but a pacer. Front passenger seat is too low and cannot be adjusted like the driver seat. Fun to drive with great sound system. Good low center gravity well grounded. Fits my lifestyle and certainly not for everyone. I prefer the EX-P Tangerine model with matching body color panel.

  In My Element - 2005 Honda Element
  By Daisy - November 7 - 9:07 am

  The Element is so much fun to drive that for the first time ever I dont care if Im driving the ugliest car on the road. I rather enjoy the looks! Also, the car feels solid. When you close the rear doors, it sounds like a heavy, well-made vehicle, not a hunk of metal just put together cheaply. Im looking forward to the AWD in the snow this winter.

  Nice Alternative - 2005 Honda Element
  By Chewdoggie - November 6 - 2:26 am

  I actually just bought my second Honda Element this last August. I was a little leery of its initial looks, but once I sat in the car I was sold. Have not regretted it since. Sure its boxy, but there is so much room and versatility. Mileage is good considering the shape - 22/26. Enough power and the AWD does just fine in the dunes/beaches of Pismo, CA. Plus its a Honda... great reliability.

  Fun and Functional - 2005 Honda Element
  By Glenn - November 5 - 12:14 pm

  The Element has been the most fun and functional vehicle I have ever owned. I can use it to haul most anything I need, including passengers comfortably. The fit and finish have been incredible: not a single trip to the dealer for anything other than oil changes in 18 mos. What I like most is its funky looks. Stands out from the crowd, and is easy to find in the parking lot.
