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.

  Ya Gotta Drive it - 2004 Honda Element
  By beach boy - July 14 - 10:00 am

  I am a proud owner of the 2004 Element EX.I have been looking at this model for about 2 years since it came out. For my life style this is the "Best thing since sliced bread". For people on the go and who like the outdoors there quite possibly could not be a better fit. Some of my friends when I first got the truck said " do you wind it up before you drive it, or can we take it out of the box and drive." That was thier comments before they got in and drove it or simply just got in the back seat and enjoyed the sunroof and acres of leg room. If you are thinking of getting one ,do it. Cheers, your excited Element owner.

  Its Elementary! - 2003 Honda Element
  By ItsElementary - June 29 - 2:00 am

  I have always owned Subarus and Hondas its just been my "bag". I looked into buying an Outback to go with my WRX "weekender", but the price was high and style was low. The element really fit the bill, unbelievable to drive and super practical. It is like nothing else out there. Windows down 270watt system pumping, great stuff! Guess what the Element is now my "weekender"!!!

  Great Little Car - 2003 Honda Element
  By herndonk - June 29 - 2:00 am

  Purchased the vehicle because we like to camp and travel to our childrens homes. Lot of room for storage and easy to load and unload. Still have the seats there if we need them once we get there.

  Two Women - 2004 Honda Element
  By Luck - June 1 - 10:00 am

  Car fits us like a glove. My sister is 5 and therefore we added the running boards, and Im 58" and need room for my long legs. Plenty of cargo room for shopping and trips. I do miss the side hooks for hanging clothes when coming from the cleaners, but with lots of leg room, ecconomy, cargo room and many safety devises, good service from my dealer, I guess the hooks arent that important. Highly recommended.

  This car Rocks for all active people! - 2004 Honda Element
  By LarsConsulting - May 26 - 10:00 am

  Smooth ride, excellent headroom in case 1980s hair comes back in, theatre seating for kids in the back. (i.e.: higher than front seats, reduces motion sickness), and best is this: you can literally spray out the interior floor with a hose! Go ahead - spill that juice box - I DONT CARE!!!
