  Fun to Drive - 2005 Honda Element
  By aggieweather - June 18 - 5:00 am

  Although I just bought a Honda Element it has been a joy to own. It is so much fun to drive and handles suprisingly well for being a SUV. It is so easy for dog owners to get in a clean all the hair, and much more fun for our dogs to run around the back with the seats up. Great Vehicle.

  The Best Car I Ever Have Had! - 2005 Honda Element
  By Donette - May 27 - 2:20 pm

  L-O-V-E it! This is the best car yet for me...It is great to load my hockey gear - My dogs love the seats down and they cruise the whole car. Next trip camping - looking for to it - I still get some strange looks - but you just gotta smile - cause it is so fun to drive. Anytime someone wants to check it out stranger or not - I let them! I should be selling these cars-

  Function, Fun, Turns Heads! - 2005 Honda Element
  By baddawg - May 25 - 8:13 am

  Purchased EX ltd ed last summer - great function (holds 8ft lumber), very functional and convenient entry rear and front, seating OK, great flexibility. Good driving - sufficient power, Excellent saftey features, many convenience items Std., sound system VG. Suburban (40mph) and highway (60- 70 mph) mileage a bit disappointing, but it is an SUV. Well engineered and built. No regrets, zero initial problems!

  My "E" - best value for my money - 2005 Honda Element
  By Marina - May 16 - 9:23 pm

  I drove my "E" out of the Hudson Honda parking lot on June 23, 2005. I love this BIG Car in a little body! Even my 64" - 18 year old son loves my "E". It is sooooo roomy inside. Who wouldve known. It is so economical on Gas! Big plus with gas prices as high as they are. I absolutely appreciate all of the storage places found inside at hands reach from the driver! The exterior design is just absolutely awesome...I feel like Im going away to my own little safari every morning when I drive my "E" to work. I feel very safe inside my "E". With Hondas reputation for quality and reliability, purchasing my "E" was a win-win option for me.

  She Loves it so do I - 2005 Honda Element
  By Mike - February 7 - 8:30 am

  We have been shopping for about two months. What we liked about the Element was ease of entry, no stain easy clean interior and the versatility of the interior. I have not seen my wife this happy ( about a vehicle ) in a good while. I consider myself a professional car buyer. I have purchased three vehicles this year and sold all three at a tidy profit. I have an idea this Element is a keeper. It has a little more road noise than I like, but the powertrain is very smooth, peppy and quiet, controls are easy to use and the vehicle is fun to drive . The visibility is good and it handles windy days with no adverse surprises. The cruise is as smooth as the powertrain...great vehicle...

  Function before Form - 2005 Honda Element
  By Rick Vera - December 20 - 8:36 am

  Its fun to drive and has exceptionally better performance than other small, car-based SUV thanks to Hondas slick stick and ever slicker i-VTEC engine that revs with ease thanks to its twin balance shafts to cut engine vibrations. You wont find a car anywhere near this price range or class that has this much interior room too. One suggestion though, find an aftermarket stainless steel grill as I did to cover the front and especially the lower grille. If ya dont, youll have a really dented up radiator since its way too exposed. Want something different, this is it! Want to beat your neighbors VUE, Escape, Equinox, or RAV4 in a little race or a who-can- hold-more contest, this is it too!

  In my Element - 2005 Honda Element
  By wili315 - December 9 - 12:03 pm

  I have always been an 8 cylinder truck driver. I never thought i would find myself in a 4 cyl. I LOVE IT. The versatility is WONDERFUL and it is all the vehicle you will ever need!

  Love my Element - 2005 Honda Element
  By Terry Mull - November 15 - 1:10 am

  Great, affordable and useful vehicle. I needed a versatile car that could haul my hang glider and still cart my family around during the week and me to work. This car does it all.

  Small Outside? XL Inside - 2005 Honda Element
  By Cool Ride - October 14 - 9:13 am

  Only had it for 1 week. Comfortable ride in front seats. Little bit chompy ride in back seats over bumps. Looks smaller than other SUV on outside, rides tall feels large inside, enough to accomadate 6-2 drivers. Gas mileage is average for this 4 cylinder SUV, only got 229 city miles on first full tank. Also some wind noise when driving on freeway at higher speeds.
