  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.

  Honda Element EX is GREAT! - 2005 Honda Element
  By seattle_driver - May 4 - 5:13 am

  Wow! I just bought a Honda Element EX and it is so cool! Youre likely to get funny looks from people, but this is a really great car and quite versatile. It has great pickup, cool features, a lot of flexibility for carrying gear or up to 4 adventurers (extra cargo space required if traveling with 4--use the roof rack). Also, you gotta love the suicide doors.

  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.

  Outside Vehicle - 2005 Honda Element
  By s - April 25 - 5:11 pm

  If you like the outdoors and want a vehicle that is made for fun...get an Element. For small SUVs the mileage is good and it is very spacious. Versatality is the word for the Element, tranform it according to want/need. The easy clean inside is perfect for camping, dogs, kids, fishing, kayaking, and other outdoors activity you enjoy. Take it for a spin...

  Terrific Value - 2005 Honda Element
  By Will - April 17 - 1:20 am

  We are extremely happy with our Element. Its great in snow and high winds. It turns incredibly tight. It has great visibility and is very negotiable. Since we have a baby and two big dogs, I also like its loading practicality and ease of cleaning. This Element is my third Honda, after owning a Civic and an Accord. Im a big fan of Honda engineering, and the Element doesnt disappoint in this regard. The brakes, as usual, are terrific. Nothing breaks. After 26k miles, Ive had no repairs to make, and only paid out about $100-- all for regularly scheduled oil changes. The mileage is respectable, too. Im getting 26-28 on the highway. I commend this car to anyone who compares it to others.

  Awesome - 2005 Honda Element
  By Rich Love - April 15 - 7:34 pm

  The Element is near perfect for my needs. All four seats lay back (flat). The rear seats fold up to the side for open storeage. If that does not make enough room, the rear seats can be removed within two minutes. Also I have not seen so much rear seat leg room since the 1940s. I like having a tailgate too.

  The SUV that could. - 2005 Honda Element
  By Dave - April 12 - 1:56 am

  This is a fun vehicle. The salesman told me that they sell most of their Elements to over 40 crowd. I am 50ish.This is a great all round vehicle, that does not have the foul carpet smell from wet snow.

  The best car I have ever had ! - 2005 Honda Element
  By Neal - April 10 - 8:45 am

  We got this car over a year age and its been a great car, Lots of headroom and legroom and really fun to own and drive. Everybody that looks at it wants to testdrive one and asks lots of questions. It has plenty of power and great looks too. We own a Pilot and the Element and love them both. I would never buy anything else but Honda.
