Overview & Reviews

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.

• Impressively versatile interior, optional all-wheel drive, smooth four-cylinder engine, styled as if out of a Japanese animation movie.

• Only seats four, clamshell doors hinder entry/exit for rear-seat passengers.

  What is this ugly thing - 2004 Honda Element
  By Motomr - February 8 - 10:00 am

  Its ugly but I like the stares. It is dependalbe as all get out and has more room for the passengers than I have ever seen in a vehicle. Havent drove in the indiana snow yet so who knows about that. Good get up and go but wish it got a little better gas mileage. If you can take the ribbing by your buddies, its a good little car/suv/truck/van/whatever and I like mine so far.

  This has been one of the best autos that I have ever owned. Ok youre thinking what has he owned.. (short list, (Volvo xc90, Saab (9-5, 900,99) VW Bus x2 Beetle x2. Dodge Ram). The all wheel drive is very good in Maine weather. Cargo room, stadium seating, Ipod connection. I have not had any trouble with this Element at all. Average MPG on the highway 25.8 City 20.

  Too much fun (and funktional too) - 2004 Honda Element
  By World Glass - July 15 - 2:00 am

  Im finally back in a reliable Honda again after years of not driving one (my mistake). The Element is a total blast to drive; cool, reliable, great for work; Im always packing stained glass and tools in it to go to clients homes. Theres a ton of storage space and the large door panels work wonderfully for my World Glass logo; people really stare at this vehicle.Its a sure bet for all your utility needs! Mmmmm, and it has a sweet sound system! It looks fun and drives outstandingly for an suv. I get about 24 mpg hwy. It gets blown around driving on windy highways!! People turn and look all the time; its very unique. I love it!

  By A Smith - June 15 - 11:03 pm

  I use my Element because I sell industrial maintenance products. It is the ideal salesmans car. But the gas mileage is terrible, very disappointing

  Read This Please..... - 2004 Honda Element
  By ggelement - April 21 - 2:00 am

  I love my ELEMENT but.. BEWARE...2 ISSUES. 1. I drive on a busy interstate everyday and my windshield looks sandblasted. Other vehicles I have driven on the same highway never pitted so easily. There are also 2 cracks in each of the lower corners of the windshield that are apparently a defect in the mounting surface that HONDA published a TSB for the problem. 2. COMPOSITE PANELS WILL START TO PIT AND DETERIORATE IF YOU DRIVE IN SNOWY AREAS WHERE ROAD SALT IS COMMON! I washed my ELEMENT all the time during this past winter and the bottoms of the composite panels around the wheels still started to pit very badly from the corrosive rock salt!

  My Element Experirence - 2004 Honda Element
  By Francis - March 24 - 10:02 pm

  I wanted to buy a versatile vehicle like the CRV but instead drove out of the dealership with an Element.This is a very poorly thought out vehicle. Example, when you fold up the rear seats to make more room it actually blocks your side window access when you are backing up.This vehicle weighs almost 3,500 lbs and the standard "Accord" powerplant strains to pull it around. My AWD gas mileage city/hwy average 21-22 per gallon.The weight distribution of the "AWD" v.s. the "2 wheel" drive is noticeably different and the vehicles drive differently( I have driven both versions).

  Slightly dissapointed in Honda - 2004 Honda Element
  By Magpie - March 4 - 10:00 am

  Instrument panel Gauges have black background and are deeply recessed and extremely hard to read in daytime. Seats are too firm and not very comfortable. Even though I have the EX model, there is no button on front passenger door to lock or unlock both front doors. Also, the door lock button (master) on drivers door has a real cheap plastic feel to it. Rear seat entry/exit is difficult. Rear seats are very heavy and awkward to remove or fold up. When folded, the upstruct rear quarter view. Love the looks of vehicle, and it is fun to drive. No problems so far.
