This Year's Model Updates:

The 2003 Honda Element is a completely new vehicle for Honda. It's also the most adventurous Honda vehicle in quite a long time. Its blend of features, such as barn-style doors and waterproof seats, make it a good choice for those with active lifestyles.

Pros:
  • Impressively versatile interior, optional four-wheel drive, trick audio system, styled as if out of a Japanese animation movie.
Cons:
  • Only seats four, Elements with automatic transmissions and 4WD can seem sluggish.

    We call our New Element the Turtle. We purchased the Green Element and just love the Little guy. We are headed back home to Hawaii and think it will make the perfect auto (truck) for us there. We haul more with it and use it for more things than our Ford Ranger. The features are all Honda told us they would be. We owned Honda Gold Wings for many years and look forward to many years of service from our Element.

  • Best Baseball car ever! - 2003 Honda Element
    By -

    I wanted a vehicle without carpeting and the Honda Element was the only one I could find besides a truck and I did not want a full size truck. The Honda Element has been a wonderful vehicle to drive for the last 4 years. My son is an avid baseball player and, with dirt and mud and cleats and baseball bags, having this vehicle has been a real blessing. He can have his buds ride with us anywhere and we do not have to worry about dirty carpet or spills that may happen. Just wipe it down with cleaner and it is good as new. I love it! It drives so easy and is very comfortable on long trips. My son also loves the fact the seats recline so he can rest before games.

  • Just what my wife and I needed. - 2003 Honda Element

    It is so will designed and offers so much for its cost. We are 60 years old and need a single vehicle to do every thing. The Element is perfect. I took trash to the dump after hanging the rear seats up on the wall. Works greate.

    Its very refreshing to finally find a well built vehicle with virtually no factory installed options. I chose this car primarily because of the ability to option it myself and the versatility factor. This car suits my lifestyle to a "T".

  • its me! - 2003 Honda Element

    This one really meets my needs. Will carry my 4 dogs and garden supplies without worry of soiling the interior. Compact exterior masks an incredibly roomy interior. Perfect for a rear facing child seat, easiest car ever for getting baby in and out. Manual shift off the floor is great, you can easily climb from front to back without getting out of the car. I average 24.5 M/P/G on country roads. Also love the light from sun roof over the back seats, which are usually so dark. Overall, great little SUV for protection, drivability, reliability, decent gas mileage, and lots of room - not to mention that it is SO CUTE.

    I LOVE this car. It makes me happy. I can drive it. I can sleep in it. I can haul in it. My mother has a hard time getting in the back seat because the rear floor is high. Other than that, its a perfect car.

    Am very happy with the way it handles. Did great on my trip to Colorado. Great power going through the mountains.Nice ride. Comfortable.Couldnt even feel the gears shift while climbing or going downhill. The cruise control did very good. Breaking was smooth, even on hard breaks.Its very roomy for not looking that big on the outside.Big view through the windsheild.DC and MP3 plugins. Easy to park.I have a bad back and the height to sit and get out is very comfortable,......My wife and i have gotten a lot of nice compliments from total strangers.
