This Year's Model Updates:

The 2004 Honda Element lineup gets an LX model to slot between the existing DX and EX models. New equipment on EX models includes keyless entry, a passenger-seat armrest as standard, and bungee-cord fasteners on the driver-side front and rear seat backs.

Pros:
  • Impressively versatile interior, optional all-wheel drive, smooth four-cylinder engine, styled as if out of a Japanese animation movie.
Cons:
  • Only seats four, clamshell doors hinder entry/exit for rear-seat passengers.

  • The Best Ever - 2004 Honda Element
    By -

    This is the best vehicle i have owned. I researched suvs in my price range and what i wanted in a vehicle. i read all the rave reviews on the Element, so i had to go check it out. i took it out on a test drive in the worst weather possible. snowstorm i wouldnt want to venture out in and it was a dream machine. Handled great, so much fun to drive, couldnt have asked for more and to make it even better are the awesome features from the seats in so many positions, easy cleanup, great radio, and just plain fun to drive. the mp3 hookup is great too. I am so happy and couldnt ask for more in a car, except larger gas tank.

    I race in Triathlons. Nothing is more important than making sure my bike is in correct order before placing it in the bike rack early on race morning. Unfortunately, this is usually in the dark. So, being able to set my bike up the day before in my garage, roll it into the Element without having to remove any parts, go to a race and out to eat without having to worry about the bike being out in the weather, and taking the bike out for the race knowing it is just like I left it the night before...Its just wonderful.

    We love our Element. The versatile interior is the BEST. While the gas mileage has not been quite what expected, it does not disappoint on long trips. Id like a little more power, but thats just me. My tires are wearing a little quicker than average but I drive fairly aggressively. Overall, this thing gets 9 out of 10 from me and my fam.

  • Fun to Drive - 2004 Honda Element
    By -

    Had the car for six months. Love to drive it. Taken it on 2000 mi trip. Averaged 25 mpg. A little noisy @75+ mph but it handled great. A little difficult for adults to climb into the the back seat. Seats are tough on comfort on the longer drives. Visibility is great, tight turning radius is a plus. If you have kids, the rear door can be a hassle since you have to open the front door everytime to let them out. Since its on the small side, it turns and parks anywhere. It has just enough power, most of the time theres just two of us in the car and how fast can you go on LA/Orange Co. freeway? The price and financing were right, Id buy one again!

  • I Love Mine! - 2004 Honda Element

    Just after buying our 2004 Element we took off on a long trip from Virginia to Florida. At 64" and 200 lbs., I have found the element to be a very comfortable car to drive. It performed flawlessly on the trip. I like it because of its small size outside, yet its huge on the inside. Im very happy with mine, and would buy another.

  • A Senior Citizens Point of View - 2004 Honda Element
    By -

    We absolutely love it! Our kids where shocked when informed that we bought it. Their one question was, "what was your second choice -- a US Postal truck." But we love the choice. Its solid, reliable, has good pickup, amazingly easy to get in and out of, and is stable -- and above all, its FUNKY!!! After driving Mercedes over the past 30+ years, our ELEMENT is fun, refreshing, and different from other cars on the road!

    I go to alot of craft shows, and do alot of wood working. The Element is so easy to load with all the stuff I need. I also have a 4 year old son that loves the stadium seating. Its fun, I get 21-23 mpg, Its easy to clean. I love it.
