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!

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.

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.

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!
