Overview & Reviews

Honda has added an additional trim level to the 2006 Honda Element line, the EX-P. Based upon the EX, it adds body-color exterior panels. The EX receives new alloy wheels and steering wheel audio controls, while the LX gets the former EX-exclusive metallic exterior cladding and standard antilock brakes. Additionally, stated power for the engine is a bit lower this year due to Honda's adoption of new SAE engine testing procedures.

• Spacious, waterproof interior, optional all-wheel drive, smooth four-cylinder engine, balanced handling, standard ABS.

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

  Not Just Another Cube - 2006 Honda Element
  By Gaspar - February 20 - 6:06 pm

  Comfortable, quiet enough and smooth ride has made this car fun to drive on trips. Four passenger seats has its drawbacks. Acceleration adequate for city driving, but a bit restrained during highway maneuvers. Typical of SUV style, the visibility is less than youd get in your regular car, and something other users have mentioned. Seat fabric is not easily cleaned as youd imagine from its hype. I enjoy the look and easily recognizable factor at the Mall.

  Great daily runner - 2006 Honda Element
  By W.Li - September 9 - 11:25 pm

  Best daily runner I have had since my first car in 1958. Quiet, strong, rattle-free, and stable at moderate speeds. Very good on long distance trips, only one my wife can actually get some sleep in on real long night drives. Getting 26mpg on a 5-speed in mixed 50-50 driving on a daily basis. Real easy to park.

  Value, Functionality, Fun - 2006 Honda Element
  By Ray L - July 12 - 12:13 am

  The Element is the perfect combo of function, value, and fun. Roomy inside, functional design, fun to drive, 4WD with 25mpg hwy! Perfect for commuting, or roadtrips. Peppy in town, handles the open road, dirt, mountain roads, or snow with style. It looks cool and stands out. Imagine a Jeep crossed with a Mini Cooper. Function with style. I have camped in it. Love the cool folding/removable seats. Carries all my camping and climbing gear. Easy to clean when you get back. You could spend more but you will be hard pressed to get more. Also has a great fan/owners club.

  The Best Car I Ever Had - 2006 Honda Element
  By Aim - July 4 - 12:03 am

  I love this car. It is a great mom car since the inside can be wiped down. It also has enough room for me to get into the car while putting my daughter into her seat. The leg room in the back is wonderful.

  Where were you all my life - 2006 Honda Element
  By BOXERMOM - May 13 - 6:04 pm

  I have been thru at least 6 diferent SUVs trying to find the perfect car for my, work, dogs, and camping trips. The 1990 Trooper came close, but this car is perfect. The dogs love it, I love it, and my lead foot loves it. Took it to the snow at Brian Head, Utah. AWD works great. Had chains, didnt use them, and climbed those 12,000 feet mountains like a regular mountain goat. Next trip Glacier national park. Like the seat in 2007 more, since seat belt is conected to seat and not door post.

  Great car - 2006 Honda Element
  By black - April 8 - 10:46 pm

  Its a bit ugly, but a lot of fun. Exterior design is bad, but great inside. Low MPG because its tall, but its a quality car. The way the doors open sometimes bothers me, especially when getting other passengers in a tight parking space. Great engine, floor surface and seats. Far from perfect, but worth the experience of owning one.

  I Luv My Element! - 2006 Honda Element
  By EllieMint - January 12 - 9:30 pm

  I have an hour drive to work on a ridiculous highway. So, my husband and I decided to trade in my 2004 Honda Civic for a bigger and safer car. We chose the 2006 Honda Element in tangerine metallic (bright orange). It was by far the best car purchase weve ever made! Not only is it SO MUCH FUN to drive, but its SUPER roomy, sooooo easy to clean, it has a ton of compartments, and the sound system is great! Were shopping for a car for my husband now and we cant find anything that comes close to the Element for value and price.

  Elemental! - 2006 Honda Element
  By Kim - January 2 - 2:43 pm

  This is a great little car - especially if you are outdoorsy, have animals, etc. FUN to drive, you can sit up and see things without the gas gobbling of a larger vehicle! Best car Ive had in a long time!

  The Most Overlooked SUV - 2006 Honda Element
  By Scottso - December 14 - 8:54 pm

  I went from a 4 dr Toyota Tacoma 4x4 to the Element. Gas and space was the factor. The Element hit both of those areas as well reliable. I now have 2600 miles on my Kiwi Green Element. I love everything about it. The drive is smooth than my old truck. I dont have to shift into 4wd. The fuel savings is big compared to the truck. Inside the vehicle tons of room and storage pockets. The kids love the room and sunroof.
