Overview & Reviews
Sold from 2003-'11, the Honda Element compact crossover SUV remains one of the most distinctive and practical vehicles on the road. Happy Element owners are often city dwellers who appreciate both its small size and generous 75-cubic-foot maximum cargo capacity. Another notable element about the Element is the ability of its access-style rear doors to pivot backward a full 90 degrees, providing unimpeded access to the roomy and creatively configurable rear seats.
A used Element of any vintage is easy to recommend thanks to its functional interior, smooth four-cylinder engine and carlike handling, not to mention Honda's reputation for reliability. That said, it's worthwhile to focus your search on 2007 and newer models, as they offer a bit more power and enhanced safety features.

honda turtle - 2005 Honda Element
By Ed Bejsovec - August 15 - 7:20 pmmy honda is the perfect vehicle for hauling...with the seats removed there is tons of room..as much as a pickup. the ride is a bit choppy becuase of the short wheelbase..the engine is good and if you need the power the engine reacts quick enough to get you in traffic..the seats and the interior is washable making it great for all kinds of loads.. the stereo in the ex is supurb great sounds with XM..the car sits up nicely and it is easy to see traffic. Ive been averaging 23mpg in mixed driveing. the only drawback is the silly moon roof which is lcated in the rear of the vehicle instead the front because the Element has alot of headroom.

Great Car - So Ugly it Is Cute ! - 2004 Honda Element
By lmich - August 12 - 2:00 amOwned a Mercedes SUV and after 4 years I was tired of not being able to get anything in the back of the car. The flat floor of the Element is wonderful - you can get anything in! .. easy to clean and I love the back rear doors since it is like the old station wagons -- you can leave the top open if you have something extra long. For the price it is a great, fun car... and it is EASY TO KEEP CLEAN INSIDE.

After a long search ... Eureka! - 2004 Honda Element
By Artis6 - August 12 - 2:00 amI am 66 and with two teens who are going to each be over 6 footers I was looking for a car to meet my "high" expectations - the Element was a godsend. As a fastidious car researcher and owner, I needed high quality (which meant Ford or foreign) respectable gas mileage, with lots of legroom front and rear, and I wanted it to be stylish and fun to drive. I got it all with this car and the price was fabulous (about $3800 off sticker on a 2004). I was so tired of seeing rounded car blobs or cookie cutter SUVs. This car has pizzazz!

Room, Room and more Room!!! - 2004 Honda Element
By Mabalou - August 12 - 2:00 amSpeaking for myself and one of my children who are 6 tall. The room can not be beat! We went to every dealership in a hundred mile radious and the Element won out. It has taken us a little bit of time to get use to its looks on the outside but now that we own it we love it! The only thing that we wish was an option was a built in navigation system and DVD system built in.

Versatile Vehicle - 2004 Honda Element
By Hum-E - August 7 - 10:00 amI bought the Element because I thought it would be versitile and serve many purposes in one vehicle. I couldnt have been more correct. I use it to do all kind of things. I use it to bring home supplies from home improvement stores. I transport my lawn mower in it. I Pick up small furniture in it. I even picked up a new dishwasher and it fit right in! I also clean it up and take it to Church and other outings. In the winter it goes right through the snow. I wouldnt trade it for any other vehicle.

Fun To Drive - 2004 Honda Element
By Ulch - August 7 - 10:00 amWent from a Chevy Tahoe to an Element. At first my Husband would chatch me scooting around town and laugh. Now when he borrows it once in a while (he drives a F350 crew cab every day) he says how much fun it is to drive. He even chooses to drive it on the weekends for family trips. He says its causes of the great fuel milage but I think he just loves to dive it as much as I do.

Honda Element - 2005 Honda Element
By Phil - August 4 - 2:56 amThis is a great little SUV. Cargo space comes in handy and is flexible. Its a great car for running errands. However, I find highway driving a challenge. Since there is no carpeting, car tends to be noisey. Due to the boxiness of the vehicle, I find it difficult to steer at higher speeds and find myself fighting the steering wheel to compensate for lane drifting. There is a terrible blind spot from the right side door post. The post is wide and hides vehicles from view. Very dangerous! Brake grinding noise is also a problem. I was told the noise would disappear after 100 miles. I now have 5,000 miles on the car and the grinding has not disappeared.
