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.

  • A cool car - 2004 Honda Element
    By -

    Just traded a 1 yr. old Expedition for my Element. I absolutely love it! Very functional interior which looks European in its simplicity. Great cargo hauler, good mileage, fun! Im over 50 so it definitely appeals to older people as well as the younger crowd.

  • Great Value for the Buck - 2004 Honda Element
    By -

    This Honda "Element" is exactly what the real world needs in my opinion. Not having to worry about all the expensive leather and other accessories being abused. The pactical usage of the "Element" as well as any other vehicle purchased for the purposes that most SUVs are used for, is well considered when Honda built this unit. Knowing it was designed and geared for the X-generation. Perhaps they also without realizing it, made a vehicle that serves the real needs of all generations. Having the need for a SUV in the first place means that you either have active young people, children or animals.

  • Excellent Element - 2004 Honda Element

    It really is a teriffic car in every respect. The practicality is obvious but the surprise is that even though we have an Acura 3.0 CL & a Miata, my wife and I would both rather drive the Element! We took it on a long road trip just after we bought it and found it a real pleasure for that application.

    By -

    The element was my first honda purchase. reasons for buying: 1)price, 2)looks, 3) useful interior features, 4)convenient size, 5)hondas reputation for reliability. I drove it from california to nebraska fully loaded without any problems. and the 4 wheel drive option should helpful when driving in the snow. Im so pleased with the Element that I also bought one for my wife.

  • Element Safety - 2004 Honda Element
    By -

    I bought my Element as soon as it was introduced last Summer, and have never regretted it. Resently another motorist pulled out in front of me and total my car. The Element took it like a tank. The enginered unibody frame and engine did just what it was suppost to do. I walked away with barely a scratch. My next car will once again be an Element. Its the most versatile SUV out there. Ive camped in it, taken it to the beach and painted watercolors from the tailgate, hulled 2x4s, plywood, furniture, a clothes dryer and taken my 2 dogs hiking. Its been a great car.

  • The Little Engine That Could - 2004 Honda Element
    By -

    I was a Honda Prelude driver nearly eight years before purchasing my new Element. No one had to sell me on Honda quality, but I never realized what a difference a little "styling" would make. For one thing, I dont ever speed any more. Now I obey all the traffic signals, indeed, I have never been a more courteous driver. Ill never go back to my former self, rushing around, slamming into corners, drifting the eases. Rather, I like who I have become and its all because of my funny little car that reminds me of a childrens book I once read. Im over 65, so it was time for me to slow down anyway. I agree, but a lot of other seniors must feel the same way.
