  Love it!! - 2005 Honda Element
  By MadMumbler - June 15 - 4:30 am

  With a disabled child who races wheelchairs, and being service dog puppyraisers, a tough vehicle is a must, and this is easy to clean and tough to stand up to what we put it through.

  Love my Element - 2005 Honda Element
  By Janine - May 23 - 8:36 am

  I love my Element! Great standard sound system for a long daily commute. I had read reviews that it drove a little "trucky" but I havent found that to be the case. I love being able to remove the backseats so easily to carry suitcases or artwork. Im tall and the headroom is great and not claustrophobic like so many other vehicles.

  My favorite car ever, and heres why - 2005 Honda Element
  By Kimberly Stone - April 8 - 2:20 pm

  Ive had many cars, and liked many of them a lot. But I honestly love my Honda Element. Its style, function, performance, reliability and FUN are beyond anything Ive ever driven. I have the AWD EX model with side airbags, so Im getting everywhere safely. I love the ability to fold up the rear seats or remove them altogether if Ive got a haul from the garden center or flea market. The Element is so easy to keep sparkling clean. Its light and airy inside, with tons of head room, shoulder room, and space around you. Also great little nooks and cubbies for storage. Road trips are a must with this car. Love the Aux port for my iPod and the subwoofer. I just LOVE this car! Test drive one!

  Solid All Around - 2005 Honda Element
  By Billr - March 27 - 12:10 pm

  Like many, did not like the style until I test drove one. Our family now loves the car we bought since it is as much fun for our 6 year old as it is for us. The stereo is superb along with the handling, quality, etc. The headroom and rear room is great but the driver could use about 1-2" more legroom. A carpeted trough to hold small items in the rear cargo area would be nice. The center console tray could be higher to be able to reach drinks etc. easier and there could be an out-of-sight (covered) area for change, phone, etc. These are minor things. The car is fantastic and a joy to drive. Our first Honda and definitely not our last.

  Owner and lover - 2005 Honda Element
  By stan bost - February 26 - 5:20 am

  I love this car. It has orignal ideas, great visiabilty, good fuel mileage, and is very easy to get in to and out of. I would have put lights in the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel. The price of the add on options like side steps and mud guards and other items is way too high. Also I would make the sun roof in the back a slide back not a lift out so it could be used while driving

  Best Car for $20,000 - 2005 Honda Element
  By jim - January 30 - 9:36 am

  The Element is fun to drive and has a lot of excellent features for a cheaper car. Its not quite a real SUV but its not quite a car either but it has many of the best and qualities of both. You would be hard pressed to find a car in this price range that has its cargo space, utility, and built in features. Plus it has a lot more character than the CR-V, a Civic, or a Caravan. This wagon is great if youre looking for a versatile vehicle but understand that for this price it wont have everything: as a car it has mediocre gas mileage (but if youre used to driving a bigger SUV - then you will probably love the gas mileage), and a somewhat rough ride.

  Im Lovin It - 2005 Honda Element
  By santoim - January 26 - 5:53 am

  This is one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. It has great features and I feel like in driving a SUV twice the price. My only complaint is that you feel the ride on rough surfaces. I really enjoy driving again.

  It is like this car was designed just for me. I love it. It drives like and feels like a car but with the room of a van. Its stain resistant seats, and easy clean floors make this the perfect car for slobs like me. My job requires me to haul around lumber to a sofa all which fit perfectly into this car.
