  Love me some Element - 2005 Honda Element
  By gamoore - May 29 - 10:07 am

  One of the least expensive 4WD vehicles on the market. It has more rear seat passenger room than my Suburban. You can even recline in the backseats. Just fold the backseats up and you have tons of room. Its fun and comfortable to drive, great in snow, and its a Honda. The resale values Ive seen are really good. I own a Ford Explorer, and GMC Suburban also, but I prefer to drive the element. The next vehicle I purchase will be another Honda Element. For the money and qualty get the Element.

  Love the interior - 2005 Honda Element
  By Christy peterson - May 26 - 11:50 am

  I have 4 pets and I love the easy clean up. I love this vehicle for its many uses and reliability. Could improve on wind noise, longer and wider visor, roll down back windows, maybe coarse rubber in rear section to keep things for sliding

  Excellent Buy - 2005 Honda Element
  By Keith Cochrane - April 21 - 11:33 pm

  Must admit took me a little bit to get used to the shape of the Element when I first looked at it at the dealership, but when I took it for a test drive I fell in love with it. The element is the most practical, well though out vehicle that I have ever purchaced. I definitely recommend this vehicle for any age or lifestyle!

  Practical car with hidden benifits - 2005 Honda Element
  By dwillington - April 19 - 4:13 pm

  I bought this car b/c it was inexpensive and seemed practical. I have to admit I was attracted to its styling also. It looked cool. The car has been good to me. The biggest plus I have to say is space. Dont let it fool you, there is a lot of room inside. I was able to move between apartments in 3 trips with this car, fitting beds, desks, etc. It is not for long distance, and is loud at high speeds. It doesnt get too dirty, and has so much room to put stuff, wallets, keys, phone, anything. The mp3 audio port is a great feature. I need something faster and better looking though, so am trading it for Benz/BMW.

  Super SUV! - 2005 Honda Element
  By Kristen - February 26 - 3:40 am

  I havent had my Element for quite a year yet, but I love it! Its got some major get-up & go considering its a 4CYL., & its an SUV. I love driving it, I feel very safe in it, its practical and a HONDA! A month after we got the Element we drove it from Ohio to Florida, of course being brand new, it was great. We occasionally take little road trips and ("knock on wood") it has been so wonderful, weve had no problems. We recently drove to VA Beach over the weekend, we stopped @ a rest area and slept better than in our bed! The things I would change are more materialistic items, but youre paying a good price for the name, you mihgt as well get al lthe bells & whistles!

  Excellent - 2005 Honda Element
  By jewlesinaz - February 17 - 8:00 pm

  For the price, it is very good. If you have big animals that you take on the go, it is more than perfect! Underneath the back hatch handle is a piece of plastic(handle) used for closing it, comes out very easily. The flooring gets scratched easily, if you want it to stay in new condition, dont haul anything.

  great utility vehicle - 2005 Honda Element
  By Matt Bowman - February 11 - 4:54 pm

  Our Element has been GREAT! Very dependable and versatile- will haul most anything you can fit into it! The stereo, heater and AC work very well, and the controls are very easy to use. Snow and icy road conditions have been no problem at all. Even after owning all brands of 4-wheel drive vehicles, the Element performs as good as any of them. It seems that the gas mileage should be better for a four cylinder (ours gets a real-world 21-25) and the sunroof would be much better if placed over the front seats. The interior passenger room is amazing- everyone who looks inside is surprised at the amount of passenger/ cargo room. Our two teenage kids can even stretch out.

  practical and reliable - 2005 Honda Element
  By C.Y. - February 1 - 7:30 pm

  After thorough research, I decided to purchase a Honda Element before making a 650-mile move last year. It turns out to be one of the best decisions Ive made. Last year alone, I made countless long distance trips in it. Most of them at least 9 to 10 hours, and sometimes with the car packed solid. Through snow, and thunderstorm, Element delivers. I feel safe and comfortable in this vehicle. The mileage is better than other comparable models. and it offers great features while reasonably priced. My sister is even thinking about buying one after driving mine.
