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.

  Love it! - 2006 Honda Element
  By s a jollensten - July 26 - 7:43 pm

  The car is comfortable, fun to drive, great gas mileage and the XM radio is a must! Great for trips to the market, the beach, the lumber store. I cant say enough nice things about it! I am sold, and some of my friends are sold too. Did I mention it has loads of head room and is so easy to find a parking place for!

  Love my Kiwi Green Toaster - 2006 Honda Element
  By Jimpete - July 26 - 10:41 am

  Wow! Had for approx two weeks now and have had a fairly long road trip 4 hrs. Love the comfort, style most and not to mention the stereo, it rocks! I traded in my 06 Honda Civic. It was a nice car, but the seats were very uncomfortable and couldnt house the pup so it had to go. Its fun and I enjoy it.

  No Longer Boxed-In - 2006 Honda Element
  By Elementary - July 25 - 6:01 pm

  Recently purchased 06 EX-P AWD, AT. Put on 400+ miles the first weekend, including a day of hiking, venturing on dirt roads & a night of sleeping. Sleeping on seats is comfortable on back or side. I suppose sleeping on the cargo area with therma-mats would also work. Floor is great, mud can be wiped out with a sponge. Traded in an 05 Mazda 3 hatchback for more room & more abilty to get outdoors and easiness to clean. Love the body colored side panels, too bad they came one year later! Lots of available options for the outdoors. Lots of head & leg room, cant believe its considered a "compact" SUV. Built for outdoor use or as a daily driver.

  Wonderful Element ... a joy to own and drive - 2006 Honda Element
  By spg - July 24 - 7:26 pm

  The Element has been a true joy to drive, to and from work every day plus a 3600 mile trip when I had had the car only a month and a half! My 80 year old mother said that it is one of the most comfortable vehicles which she has travelled in on a vacation. I am very satisfied I feal that the value received is well worth the price.

  A Very Nice Ride - 2006 Honda Element
  By JOHNE - July 21 - 11:23 am

  My first new car ever, and a real joy for me. Roomy, comfortable, plenty of space to knock around in. I looked at a lot of other cars in the class and the Element out ranks the others to me. I am getting 25 mpg in the city, which surprised me. A real joy to drive, very nice ride height and view of the road. I have only got 2200 miles on it so far, but it suits me. More backseat leg room and no "scrunched" seating, and the rear seats recline, so passengers may snooze if they choose. It is a loaded Tangerine, bought before I saw any ads. It just seemed right, it fits.

  Toms opinion - 2006 Honda Element
  By Tom Whaley - July 14 - 10:08 am

  Car is new. Drove it on a vacation trip of over 3000 miles without any problems and enjoyed the experience. Fuel consumption was better than manufactures estimates. This is the first small care that I have ever owned and the only thing that I have a problem with is the steering wheel hides the gauges.

  My Element, my dear - 2006 Honda Element
  By Annetta Johnson - July 13 - 7:33 pm

  The fact that it has all the headspace and room is suprising because from the outside it looks quite small. I went from an Isuzu rodeo to this but the handling and gas mileage is already noticable. I have only had this about 2 weeks. But I am very pleased.

  Great Choice. Great Value - 2006 Honda Element
  By VegasRobb - July 11 - 10:54 am

  I decided to test drive the Element on the advice of an Element owner I met at the local Mini Cooper dealership. I liked the look of the Element. I remember reading a review that the Element was a combination of a "Mini Cooper and a Hummer". I cant say theyre wrong. From the moment I sat down for my test drive, the Element just felt right. The car has been wonderful. I enjoy driving again and my friends say that Im always smiling when they see me driving around town. For the price, the Element comes with quite a bit in terms of built-in features and provides a good amount of value. Make you sure want the EX *or* the EX-P look. I like the uniform color over black fenders.
