This Year's Model Updates:

The 2004 Honda Element lineup gets an LX model to slot between the existing DX and EX models. New equipment on EX models includes keyless entry, a passenger-seat armrest as standard, and bungee-cord fasteners on the driver-side front and rear seat backs.

Pros:
  • Impressively versatile interior, optional all-wheel drive, smooth four-cylinder engine, styled as if out of a Japanese animation movie.
Cons:
  • Only seats four, clamshell doors hinder entry/exit for rear-seat passengers.

  • Highly Recommended - 2004 Honda Element
    By -

    Buying a Honda Element is highly recommended if your are looking for a samll SUV. This vehicle is well built and plenty fun to drive. I use it as a work vehicle and find the adaptability of this vehicle is fantastic. It is easy to keep clean and maintain and is a rock solid vehicle. Being a Honda, this car will last me well over 150K miles given proper maintenance.

    To whom this may concern: First of all, after owning 20 cars since high school, my New Honda Element, EX 2wd, has to be the best car Ive ever had the oportunity to own/drive, show off! I live in Newport Beach, on Balboa Island. The popularity of the Element is really starting to show, The first of Feb, I was one of only two Element owners, here on the island, now its hard to keep up with all the new ones. The look, the "second" looks you get when driving, and all the questions about the rear suicide doors, I havent run into ANYONE who dislikes it. My biggest regret, this car didnt come in RED (bright Honda Red).Keep up the great work at Honda!! TOM

    The very best vehicle Ive ever purchased. Perfect for outdoor lifestyle or just driving to work! Great for larger travelling, pets, dogs, pigs, whatever :) Would highly recommend and plan to buy another if this one ever dies.

  • Beauty Within - 2004 Honda Element

    I thought it was the ugliest car on the planet until I opened the door and looked in. Its enormous inside! I fell in love with the interior. The exterior grows on you over time. I now joke that "When it grows up, it wants to be a Hummer." Either way, its well built. Not a problem in almost 2 years, and it gets decent gas mileage to boot.

  • Awesome car!!! - 2004 Honda Element
    By -

    This SUV is really great! Even though its the same engine like the CR-V, this car has style and looks. Has a lot of room and i can actally put something big in the trunk. Even though the exterior looks like its a box, it beats the toyota scion looking more like a BOX. This ride is for more young ones. The price is affordable.

  • Love my Honda Element! - 2004 Honda Element
    By -

    Driving an Element is like living in a light-filled cabin on wheels. It can go anywhere, turn on a dime, and can be configured to handle anything from a large armoire to people to surfboards. I am not a car person, but this little car has captured my heart! Sleeping in it on a camping trip is a treat -- you can see the stars through the skylight over your head.

  • the funny looking Honda - 2004 Honda Element
    By -

    I really did not think I would like this vehicle, I was SO wrong. I owned a Lexus previously, and quite frankly was sick of the payment. My Honda Element is so roomy and it is the smartest thing I have done in a long time. The gas mileage is awesome. I truly love it.

  • It works for me - 2004 Honda Element
    By -

    I had seen an ad for the Element about six months prior to its release and was impressed by the look. As soon as I had driven one and saw the roomy interior I was sold. I have three big dogs and they all fit comfortably inside. Clean up is a breeze. I have been on a couple road trips and found that the Element handles great on the Interstate and the milage was a bit higher than what was on the sticker. All in all it was the vehicle I was looking for at this time. I rather enjoy the strange looks I still get when I drive past.

    Ive had my Element for 10 months and I enjoy it today as much as the first week I had it.I consider it a true sport utility vehicle. The way the seats fold up make the rear space very usable. The seats also easily come out more space. The interior is rugged and the all season mats are a must for this type of SUV. In deep snow its unstoppable with its unique 4 wheel drive system. I have had no problems with it at all and have only had it back to the dealer for oil changes and tire rotation. The long list of available options only add to the fun of owning and driving this very unique and reliable SUV.
