This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Spacious interior, optional all-wheel drive, smooth four-cylinder engine, balanced handling.
Cons:
  • Only seats four, clamshell doors hinder entry/exit for rear-seat passengers.

  • Look of a Jeep, Quality of a Honda - 2007 Honda Element
    By -

    We purchased this on a whim. We were looking into the CR-Vs but when I got in it It was too small, o we checked out the Element. What a nice ride. The seats are very comfortable and the "theater" style seating is cool. Much better stability than most SUVs. To be honest, seeing these on the road didnt seem appealing to me, but the moment I test drove this car I was hooked. Its a fun car to drive. This is the 4th Honda we have owned (5th if you include the 1990 Acura Integra) and I wouldnt trade any of them for another vehicle. We got the Nighthawk black pearl. So far this is the only vehicle I have owned that I didnt noticed a ton of before and especially after purchasing on the road. Im so satisfied with this vehicle I will probably buy a second one later on down the road But will probably have to pry the Keys to our 2 door Civic from me.

    I have 3,000 miles on my black 2007 SC and have not been dissappointed with its looks, performance, ride comfort, transporting capacity and its good looks inside & out. The XM radio performance is outstanding! Front seating is quite cmfortable and provides very good stability in turns. The disc brakes are super smooth and stop the vehicle quickly without any nose-diving or pitching. The factory Goodyear tires give a luxury-sedan ride and road grip with responsive handling. I added a rear spoiler to top off the good looks. I would have added fog lights but they are overpriced ($400.00 is a bit heavy on the wallet). You wont be disappointed at all getting an SC! Enjoy!

    I chose the EX because I did not want carpeting,just vacuum and wipe down with a sponge. EX features are worth the extra cost over the LX, map light, arm rests, stereo, ect.In Florida rainstorms,the AWD is great.I carry lots of gear and you can configure the back end many different ways.I love the feel. A bit of road noise but the sound system in the EX drowns it out. I would like better mpg.I get 19cty and 24hwy. I recommend fog lights and the optional console for extra storage space. I HATE the sunroof! There should be a sliding cover to keep out the heat. In Florida, my backseat passengers are cooking! I plan on getting extra heavy tint for that. I recommend it and would buy it again.

  • Good Little SUV - 2007 Honda Element
    By -

    I bought my 2007 Honda Element EX in May, 2007, and Ive put about 3,000 miles on it so far. Its run fine with no problems. The 166 HP engine is smooth and peppy, but it isnt going to win any drag races. Fuel economy around town is only about 18 mpg, but Ive been getting 29-30 mpg on the highway. This car is great for hauling my eight-year old son and his gear and is great for hauling my bicycle to rides. I dont have to take the front wheel off. I just fold one of the rear seats up on the side of the car and throw my bike in the back. The front seats are comfortable and firm. Plenty of head room (Im 62"). Plenty of leg room in the back seat, too.

  • Root Beer Metallic is so cool - 2007 Honda Element

    This is my second Honda Element, I owned a 2005 EX and loved the car but was not impressed with the over all ride quality. Honda stepped up to the plate with the 2007 SC, this Element handles extremely well and at high speed the car is smooth and quiet.

  • Something different and fun to drive - 2007 Honda Element
    By -

    I needed to purchase a car with room. Ive always owned sports cars. I purchased my Ellie for a couple of reasons. The first is because I loved the looks of it, something different, not your typical SUV. Second is because I have a physical disability. I need to have room for my walker or when I go somewhere that I need to bring my scooter, I just have the back seats folded up and up the ramp it goes! No problem.

  • I love my 2007 Element SC!! - 2007 Honda Element

    I bought my 2007 Honda Element SC in 06/07. I traded in a 06 Silverado Crew Cab. My element is so much easier to drive and to park. I get double the gas mileage also. I still have plenty of room for passengers and luggage. For the past several years Ive traded in my car every 1-2 years but not this one. I absolutely LOVE it. Thank you Honda for a great vehicle! Its awesome to drive too.

  • I liked the Element when I first saw it! - 2007 Honda Element

    The 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.

  • So much fun! - 2007 Honda Element

    I 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!

  • Useful little beast - 2007 Honda Element
    By -

    Ive 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.
