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.

  • you wouldnt understand its a HONDA thing - 2004 Honda Element
    By -

    Ive had my Element for three months, and already 10,000 miles. This vehicle is terrific in every sense of the word. After four Accords since 1987 and over a million miles on them I again put my trust in them and this car is perfect. Ive camped in in four times been to the Indy 500, MIS races with one more to go and its just the best. Great fuel milage great ride and no not the noise that I have read about. I drive it over a hundred miles a day to work and back on the freeway and it doesnt skip a beat. And of course my 17 year old has to drive it just to "show off". Although there is nothing wrong with her Civic. Honda has another winner here.

  • Great Vehicle/ Interior Scratches Easily - 2004 Honda Element
    By -

    Our Element is wonderful. Its fun to drive, its roomy and it gets a lot of compliments. Our 5 dogs love it! However, considering it is advertised as a rugged vehicle designed to carry all sorts of gear, the interior scratches way too easily - including the dashboard area that the dogs dont have access to.

    This multi purpose vehicle is another winner from Honda.This is my 4th Honda ive had the pleasure in driving,and as always Honda comes through.For a four cylander vehicle it has suprisingly good power, combine that with the real time drive, and its 24MPG...Well to say the least this car will please many different people.

  • The most practical vehicle - 2004 Honda Element
    By -

    My favorite vehicle so far! Researched vehicles on line for about 2 weeks (edmunds.com comparator is a great place to start). I started out looking for a pickup (for scuba diving, paintball, boating etc); the Element kept popping up..so I wound up taking one for a test drive and was nothing but impressed by this well designed "cool box". The Element is a great UTE (utility vehicle). Fun to drive, tons of room, very easy to clean, good gas mileage. The lack of center pillars and the way the doors open are a plus too. Im very happy with my Honda Element and Id buy one again, no buyers remorse with this one!

    Great, innovative, SUV. Excellent leg room for back seat passengers. Smooth, efficient engine. Traded a Grand Cherokee in for my Element and have no regrets. Quite the contrary.

  • Element-al fun! - 2004 Honda Element

    I have one of the first "Es" off the line.(It was love at first sight).Its a very relaxing, comfortable and reliable car to drive and for the price and the features you cant go wrong! I talked two friends into an "E" and they are always thanking me for it!

  • Best for Money and So Practical - 2004 Honda Element
    By -

    Although it seems to have been designed for males in their late teens, Im a middle aged female teacher who feels I look a little funny driving it, but given my lifestyle, the Element is by far the best car for me. I took the seats out in the back because I haul all kinds of stuff. I drive thousands of miles each month, often with my large dog, so again the Element is the best car for this. I dont think Ill ever get a car with carpet again--who needs it? I also like the big space in the back; Ive even slept in it a few times (though you need lots of padding for it to be comfortable). Ive only had the car for eight months, but I also bought it because of Hondas reliability.

  • Great Car - 2004 Honda Element

    I am 58 years old, so I know a little about new cars. This is greatest car I have ever owned, not counting the 69 Volkswagen camper.
