  Outside Vehicle - 2005 Honda Element
  By s - April 25 - 5:11 pm

  If you like the outdoors and want a vehicle that is made for fun...get an Element. For small SUVs the mileage is good and it is very spacious. Versatality is the word for the Element, tranform it according to want/need. The easy clean inside is perfect for camping, dogs, kids, fishing, kayaking, and other outdoors activity you enjoy. Take it for a spin...

  Terrific Value - 2005 Honda Element
  By Will - April 17 - 1:20 am

  We are extremely happy with our Element. Its great in snow and high winds. It turns incredibly tight. It has great visibility and is very negotiable. Since we have a baby and two big dogs, I also like its loading practicality and ease of cleaning. This Element is my third Honda, after owning a Civic and an Accord. Im a big fan of Honda engineering, and the Element doesnt disappoint in this regard. The brakes, as usual, are terrific. Nothing breaks. After 26k miles, Ive had no repairs to make, and only paid out about $100-- all for regularly scheduled oil changes. The mileage is respectable, too. Im getting 26-28 on the highway. I commend this car to anyone who compares it to others.

  Awesome - 2005 Honda Element
  By Rich Love - April 15 - 7:34 pm

  The Element is near perfect for my needs. All four seats lay back (flat). The rear seats fold up to the side for open storeage. If that does not make enough room, the rear seats can be removed within two minutes. Also I have not seen so much rear seat leg room since the 1940s. I like having a tailgate too.

  The SUV that could. - 2005 Honda Element
  By Dave - April 12 - 1:56 am

  This is a fun vehicle. The salesman told me that they sell most of their Elements to over 40 crowd. I am 50ish.This is a great all round vehicle, that does not have the foul carpet smell from wet snow.

  The best car I have ever had ! - 2005 Honda Element
  By Neal - April 10 - 8:45 am

  We got this car over a year age and its been a great car, Lots of headroom and legroom and really fun to own and drive. Everybody that looks at it wants to testdrive one and asks lots of questions. It has plenty of power and great looks too. We own a Pilot and the Element and love them both. I would never buy anything else but Honda.

  Awsome Work Vehicle - 2005 Honda Element
  By Rivak Hoffman - March 29 - 7:30 pm

  My 2005 Element is my work vehicle. I travel approx 200 miles per day as a mobile Personal Trainer. The Element easily stores all my equipment in it, and things are easy to get to. The only negative is the gas mileage. Highway is approx 21 mpg and city is 18 mpg. With the 12 gallon tank you can go 250 miles before fill-up Other than that, this vehicle is an awesome eye opener! And you feel very safe in it. The car represents to future of SUVs

  Practical, Reliable & Fuel Efficient - 2005 Honda Element
  By hElement - March 24 - 7:48 pm

  This has to be one of the strangest automobile purchases Ive ever made. It took me 2 years to get used to the funky looks to even give one a look through and upon that I bought it on impluse (my Mazda was having a lot of problems and warranty was about to expire at 36k). This mini/suv drives just like a car and can be tossed into turns for fun, but can go off road and get through some real 4x4 trails (nothing extreme) without getting stuck.

  Great for Dogs - 2005 Honda Element
  By Tara Harden - March 22 - 7:48 am

  My husband commutes to work and we have dogs, so we needed a vehicle that could handle all our requirements. The Honda Element is perfect. It gets great gas mileage, but is tough enough to handle having our two weimaraners in the back. Theres plenty of room for all of our "stuff" and the dogs when we go on long trips. Hondas been a great service and maintenance provider and the quality of their product is outstanding. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone--not just commuters and dog people.

  This one deserves MORE accolades.... - 2005 Honda Element
  By jockstarla - March 15 - 11:36 pm

  I was afraid after owning an Audi TT and a Mini Cooper S just prior to the Element that I was going to be very disappointed. Initially, I missed changing gears and zipping around my fellow Angelinos... but, man, the trade-off in terms of being able to lug things around easily, getting to see over all those cars in front of me, having 3 REAL cupholders instead of 1 (kinda) cupholder.... the creature comforts add up to satisfaction.

  My baby Stella - 2005 Honda Element
  By Stella - March 14 - 12:36 am

  Drives like a dream. She glides on a smooth road and isnt intimidated by ice or snow. Ive lived with her in Indiana and Colorado - and I tell ya, she eats ice for breakfast. The cargo room is incredible. The seats are comfortable. And theres some special bond that all Element owners seem to carry and share with one another. :)
