  • 2005 Honda element best vehicle ever.. - 2005 Honda Element

    This vehicle drives so smooth for an SUV, it handles so well around turns. This is the best vehicle I have ever owned. It is so good on gas to have all the room it has.

  • Awesome vehicle - 2005 Honda Element
    By -

    I love this vehicle. I had always thought I wanted one, but it was not until I drove it that I had to have it! I think it is the most comfortable seats and I drive all over the country on long trips of more than 10 hours at a stretch. If you go from an American van to this, you will be in heaven! The only knock is the gas mileage, too many stops to refill. I do get in the twenties, generally 300 miles on a tank full, but I have run it to 360 miles. My ACN business keeps me on the road, and I practically live out of it.

    This is the best car I have ever had. Its great for my business needs and my family needs. We have a florist and it can be turned into a delivery vehicle in no time. Its also great for my family. We have 2 children and 2 German Shepards. We take it camping or on trips and we all fit comfortably.

  • Its Elemental - 2005 Honda Element
    By -

    We liked the Element we bought in 2003 so much we bought another in 2004. His and His models. They are versatile, super functional and really zip around. Can cruise at 90 on turnpike or slow go at the beach.

  • Rocks!!!!! - 2005 Honda Element
    By -

    I have had this vehicle for 5 years and it has been the best vehicle I have ever owned. 125,000+ miles and the only think I ever have to do is oil changes, tire rotation, and 1 set of new tires and brakes. VERY, VERY reliable and goes great in snow.

  • Adore it - 2005 Honda Element
    By -

    This is my favorite vehicle of all time. Ive driven Mercedes and Volvos, but nothing is as fun as this vehicle. The cargo capacity is great and it is good for hauling dogs, landscape materials, and antiques. Also, it gets good mileage. I adore it!

  • Delivery vehicle - 2005 Honda Element
    By -

    A solid, reliable, economical option for a delivery vehicle. Just enough style to prevent embarrasment. Great cargo capacity combined with low cost of purchase and operation.

  • Our wonderful Honda product. - 2005 Honda Element
    By -

    This is our 4th Honda, two Civics, One CRV and now the Element. It is Just what we need up here in the mountains. Easy to keep clean, plenty of power, good gas mileage for an SUV. Very practical. Dependable.

  • Great SUV - 2005 Honda Element
    By -

    Its has been the best little big Suv I have ever owned. Dont think it does not have any pickup because it is a 4Cy. it will fly if I am not careful. If you want a good SUV and not lose you shirt then I highly suggest an Element.

  • Excellent, a car for everyone! - 2005 Honda Element
    By -

    I love this Element! I would buy this SUV again. The gas mileage is perfect and the price I was given was just awesome. This suv couldnt get any better! The comfort was superior. Anybody who thought this car was a poor decision to get, well, they thought wrong. I am really glad that Honda came out with an SUV that would put up to many customers standards.
