Overview & Reviews
The Honda Element has been updated significantly for 2007. It's a littler quicker this year thanks to a 10-horsepower increase and a new five-speed automatic transmission that replaces the previous four-speed. It should be safer, too, thanks to new safety equipment, including standard stability control and side curtain airbags. Previous Elements had door-mounted front seatbelts that made exiting the rear seat a bit of a pain; that's been fixed this year with integrated front seatbelts. There's also a new design for the instrument panel. Finally, Honda has come out with a new Element SC trim level that has a lowered ride height and a few unique exterior and interior styling details.
- Spacious interior, optional all-wheel drive, smooth four-cylinder engine, balanced handling.
- Only seats four, clamshell doors hinder entry/exit for rear-seat passengers.

I liked the Element when I first saw it! - 2007 Honda Element
By ANDY FROM MERRICK - July 10 - 9:15 pmThe new 2007 Honda Element is a pleasure to drive. Its peppy, runs smoothly, and has tons of room. I knew I liked the Element when I first saw it a few years ago. It was "boxy" looking but different than all the other SUVs. And the colors, esp. that unusual orange, were unique. I see people looking at it and in it sometimes. To me all the other SUVs look so much alike. The Element, though its not so new anymore, has such a striking appearance that it maintains its uniqueness. Even your passengers have a unique ride because theyre sitting high up with a great view of the road. The skylight window in the back is fun to use esp. if youre carrying dogs.

Great car except for the mileage - 2007 Honda Element
By E55tech - June 27 - 2:39 pmWe recently purchased our Element and have found it to be extremely useful. The interior is more spacious than you could imagine for such a small vehicle. It is very well designed. The only drawback so far is that we are getting about 18 MPG mixed City/HWY MPG. To claim 21/26 is a bold statement. Great little milk truck though.

So much fun! - 2007 Honda Element
By jenn - June 15 - 3:46 pmI just bought my Element and love it! The gas mileage is better than I thought it would be. The arm rest is anemic but other than that, I am so happy with my new car. It is fun to have a vehicle that not everyone else has. If you want a quality, efficient vehicle with its own flare, the Element is for you!

The Green Shortbus - 2007 Honda Element
By Shrt_Bus - June 14 - 5:29 pmI have really enjoyed this vehicle. Its fun to drive and I am averaging just under 21 mpg mostly city about 25 highway. Cargo space is great, smooth ride. Definitely recommend changing the tires to something more SUV style. I put BFG Long Trail and rides and handles much better. Truly recommend this vehicle to all.

Useful little beast - 2007 Honda Element
By Miamioolite - June 1 - 5:26 pmIve had my Element for a month now so I feel I can review it. The quality is top notch, this is a well put together car. The interior is simple and roomy. The exterior is streamlined and attractive! (to me anyway). It drives smooth, and accelerates well for a box, you have to push it to higher RPMs to really zoom, but the power is there if you need it. The shifter looks like its in a weird spot, but it really isnt if you think about it, Honda just opted for a shorter stick and a subwoofer.The sound system is amazing, you can alter your heartbeat with the bass if thats your thing. The doors dont bother me, but Im not moving kids around. Overall a great dead useful vehicle.

Half a Hummer! - 2007 Honda Element
By mdredwing - May 31 - 3:02 amThis vehicle is a riot to drive. It has so many standard features I cant list them all. It looks cool and is very useful as an utility truck. Plenty of cargo area and is a very safe car to operate. With Honda, safety comes standard. I traded in an 07 Saturn Vue and had to take a big hit on the trade, but it was worth it.

Happy! - 2007 Honda Element
By Nikki - May 26 - 9:48 pmI love my Element. Its so roomy and not all cramped and confining. My husband is not a small man and in some small SUVs his head actually touches the roof and theres no leg room. He is very comfortable whether riding or driving. Weve taken several vacations in our Element too. Great gas mileage, fun to drive. I love how the back seats lay all the way flat, fold to the side or come completly out to create more cargo space. And when youre riding in the back the seats actually sit higher than the driver so you can see out & over the people in the front. My dog is a taxi for my two Boxers and they love to go for rides. Overall very very staisfied element owner!

The Complete Package - 2007 Honda Element
By SC in Charlotte - May 11 - 1:52 pmThank you Honda for releasing the SC! The SC resolves the two main issues we had about the Element (unpainted surfaces and the rubber floor). Overall, we are very satisfied with our Element SC. For our needs, it is a complete package. The fact that you do not see one at every corner makes it stand out even more. Why drive a boring mini-SUV when you can get the complete package w/ the Element.

The E is great - 2007 Honda Element
By Scott D - May 10 - 4:45 pmI had my doubts going in to the dealership and could not have been more suprised. The car drives very nicely, handles great, and has way more room than you think. Im 64" 210 pounds and fit with ease.

Best all-around vehicle! - 2007 Honda Element
By Drelement - May 9 - 11:44 pmI cant say enough how much this is my favorite car I have owned so far, including the 03 Mercedes CLK320 I traded in for this fine SUV. I got the Nighthawk Black Pearl w/ black tinted windows, giving it a very sleek, head-turning appearance. They finally fixed the grey-paneled look that has kept me from fully appreciating the exterior. It rides firm, but sporty while still feeling as tight as a vault. The engine noise is not a concern at all. Acceleration is fine, since I just like to cruise in it. I already used its immense hauling capabilities each of the first 3 days I had it! This car is a keeper!
