An All Purpose Vehicle - 2005 Honda Element
By Tom Fulton - November 23 - 11:56 amHandles like a Civic, turning radius shorter than my Accord, great for hauling stuff and if you have kids they will love it. Floors and seats are made for use - no carpet and you can hose it out. Drove it in the snow and ice and it tracks like a dream. Gas mileage is not great but Ive only had it 3 weeks.

BEST CAR EVER - 2005 Honda Element
By DESERT TRAVLER - November 13 - 9:33 amI am a baby boomer with on the go lifestyle; this car does it all, comfort very functional ez-driver great inside space. Good light use for off road. Gets the looks from others, makes a statement--last month used it like a truck hauling stone tools bricks sand. Ran like a champ even with load. Have also camped in it. Works well for a night or 2 enough room for all the gear and you can sleep in (but cramped) I have had cars that were twice the costs and they werent as good when comparing overall use. This car is a winner, and probably a classic in its own right, no disappointment here--

Practical AND Cool - 2005 Honda Element
By Lorri - October 11 - 11:03 amI live a couple miles off of a paved highway, so I average 4-6 mileas a day off the pavement. The Element handles the hills and bumps as well as a larger SUV, and the lower center of gravity makes it corner more like a sedan. It is surprzingly roomy inside. The seats are comfortable and spills wipe up like a breeze. The hatch doors make it easy to get larger objects inside. With the seats folded up to the sides, you can get a set of patio furniture inside easily. In addition to all of this, its just plain fun to drive! Pop out the removeable sunroof and open the windows and youre ready to enjoy the day! Drawbacks - not many, Its a well thought out and fun vehicle.

Dont know where Id be without it. - 2005 Honda Element
By The Lazer Viking - September 26 - 12:13 amI bought this car because I am in a band, and I needed a strong and rugged car to haul all of my equipment in. At first sight I thought it was the ugliest thing in the world, but as time went on I became much more attached. I love the seats; not only are they comfortable, but they are waterproof and stain resistant. The audio system is amazing and the fact that the rear seats fold up easily makes it very easy to transport my stuff. What really surprised me, and something that I havent seen mentioned, is the incredible handling and sharp turning capability of this car compared to others in the same price range. I would highly recommend the Element, even if you think it looks funny.

sara - 2005 Honda Element
By Letisha - September 1 - 6:33 pmThis is a great mini truck. It handles well in the snow but not in Long Island sand. I was told it could be taken on the sand and it almost got taken away with the current. It has alot of fun things in it and that you can buy. Its like a little camper. I think this is a great car for people who like to go on road trips or just like to chill out in there car. I would not recommend this car for a family ;it is more of a singles car. Love it!!

my baby - 2005 Honda Element
By molly - August 25 - 10:13 pmI would advise everybody to buy this or any honda. It is the greatest. It drives smoothly. When you make turns it doesnt tilt. Back seats are so roomy that my 6 foot Uncle has plenty of room to stretch out. The inside is so easy to clean out its so funny. The big thing about this car is that there is soooo much room (legs, storage, back seat). All I can say is that you need to go test drive one and you will see that it is a car you need to get.

The Element: So Ugly, It is CUTE! - 2005 Honda Element
By Dean - August 17 - 9:03 amIt runs well, and gets over 21mpg REAL mileage, in the city and mountain driving. TALL PEOPLE ALERT! More important to me, it has enough headroom -- I am 65". I cannot safely sit in and drive most cars. The element is a joy to drive. Big rear door and tailgate, removable moon roof, and big side doors with no post are really great! Great power with good mileage. Only has two rear seats, but they fold up and come out easily for major loads and camping. I love it! I have had Isuzu Trooper and Suzuki Sidekick and other cars, but I really like this and recommend it. I have received (jealous) jokes about it being a delivery truck, but it is so ugly, it is cute!

I love my Element! - 2005 Honda Element
By MK - July 10 - 3:53 pmThe thing I love most about my Element is that its so unique. There are no other SUVs out there that even compare to the Element, inside or out. It drives great and corners very well for an SUV. Its extremely spacious without being too plain. It has so many accesories you can get to personalize your Element to fit your lifestyle. Its really an SUV that will do anything you want it to do, be anything you want it to be. Whether its hauling people from place to place or using it as a tent, it does all things well!
