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.

  is the one! - 2007 Honda Element
  By jeffry Kotler - January 2 - 12:50 pm

  I was shocked when i drove my element. It drives exceedingly well, its fun to drive, and it does have a quiet ride. I was used to range rovers, (the high end ones), and this is so much fun. You have developed a great car.

  Its a good fit! - 2007 Honda Element
  By Lisa - December 31 - 8:29 pm

  Traded in a 03 Accord EX V6 for the 07 Element SC. I really bought it for function and convenience (I have 3 dogs), but found theres a lot more I like about it. The SC model was much more stylish and handled a little better because of the bigger rims and tires and lowered base. Its fun to drive. You feel like youre in an SUV but driving a car. I was worried Id feel the change going from a V6 to a 4 cyl and not like the car as much, but it hasnt bothered me at all... its pretty good off the start and once you get going, no problem passing others or getting on the freeway. I like it more and more each day.

  A Very Good Deal - 2007 Honda Element
  By David_Wayne - December 29 - 10:20 am

  Versatility allows me to use the vehicle for work during the week, and when the weekend comes, wipe the floor with a rag, drop the seats down, and I am ready for the kids. The ride is acceptable, and the visibility is excellent. I love this car.

  First Element- Wont be the last! - 2007 Honda Element
  By familyof4 - December 19 - 10:57 pm

  I had my first Honda Civic for 14 yrs then replaced it with another Civic several years ago. With two kids, we wanted something safer. Given the heavier weight, side curtain air bags and great crash test results, we bought the Element SC and absolutely love it. Its a lot fun to drive, handles very well, sounds solid when you close the doors, ride is quiet, looks great, safer than the previous Civic and is very functional. It has more room from the passenger seats forward than our Mazda MPV. Another very satisfied Honda customer. When will US car makers get on the ball?

  I love this car!! - 2007 Honda Element
  By Albert - December 14 - 9:24 am

  After test driving many SUVs I could not believe how this car could have the best road feel, since its shorter then most of the ones I tested. It was not the quietest or the smoothest ride, but by far the one I loved the most. I liked many cars in my 50 years of driving, but this one I LOVE.

  MY SC - 2007 Honda Element
  By AALOOPY - December 12 - 7:41 am

  We traded in our 2006 Civic because we needed more room for our two kids. I had looked at the element in previous years but didnt care for the looks. Well Honda took care of that with the SC.

  One of Many - 2007 Honda Element
  By Donald - December 11 - 7:55 pm

  This is the most versatile vehicle available in the market segment, We have six of them for our sales people. a 2004,(2)2005,(2)2006 and a 2007 we take the rear seats out and you can fit so much more equipment in them than our two Highlanders,We deliver equipment to construction sites so the all-wheel drive comes in handy as well, I like the new instrument illumiation over the others as well as the vehicle stability control,new seat belt location and side curtian air bags.

  Awesome - 2007 Honda Element
  By Carol Ramos - December 4 - 11:51 pm

  I wanted an auto that my husband would hate! When we went in to pick up My new Element. He fell in love with it. I selected the Metallic Root Beer SC. What is so great, it accommodates tall people really well. Hes 6 and my son is 64" and there is head room to spare. Now this is what is really awesome, the base part of the Honda Element is about the same size as an compact car but the box design allows for more interior room and it fits in my garage easily. It maneuvers very well.

  Kiwi Metallic - 2007 Honda Element
  By theElemenT - October 11 - 3:05 pm

  I love my new Element. It drives and handles so much better than the 2004 Element I traded in. I love the new black utility floor and it is so much easier to get people in the back seats with the seat belts intergrated into the front seats. Im glad Honda gave the Element VSA and side curtain air bags for safety reasons. I can haul my two Saint Bernards with little problems now. The 166-hp is a nice improvement along with the 5-speed auto. I get about 28 on the highway on average and about 25 in the city. Cant wait to see if it handles even better in the snow than my last Element.

  WOW! - 2007 Honda Element
  By tkcox - October 8 - 10:34 pm

  My wife was against this "box" as I kept dropping the hints for the past 3 years. MUCH more comfortable for a 65, 230 male I told her. Being that the 2003 model was a rough ride (at best) - she was hesitant considering I bought it without test driving. I was not disappointed. Lots of room, fun to drive and SHE LOVES IT. Home run. Literally. :-)
