  not for elderly passengers - 2005 Honda Element
  By hawaiigirl - July 8 - 5:36 am

  I truely love to drive this car and its great for just 2 and the dog holds everything, but taking elderly passengers in the back seat can be challenging. They have a hard time getting up and in and getting out. With the front door open, there is no frame for them to hold on to and you need a lot of side space to open the back door. I have a sun roof which can be too bright for those in the back seat while traveling since there is no ceiling panel to close it off. Thinking about tinting it darker. Unless you are a basketball player, you need a ladder to wash this car.

  chev tahoe to honda element - 2005 Honda Element
  By bill - June 18 - 6:43 am

  If you want to own an suv with low cost then this is for you, I have driven for five years a 2000 chev tahoe and this element delivers room plus!! All the room inside without cost! My tahoe had all the bells and whistles but the element delivers!! The only negative is with the 285hp in the tahoe I could just pass or pull out without pause whereas the element is slow but on open highway it is the same. but one thing to remember is getting in out if you have children, mine are grown so it is a pain to the sucide doors, I just wish I bought the element five years ago. I do miss the sitting up higher in the tahoe but the element can move in and out of traffic easy.

  My second Element in 6 months - 2005 Honda Element
  By WSMSTR - June 3 - 1:17 am

  We bought a 2007 Element which is phenomenal in bad weather, so when the chance to pick up a 2005 model arose, it was a no-brainer. This is a different kind of SUV. Youre not going to go tearing around corners with it, but you will enjoy cruising on long rides.

  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!

  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!
