Overview & Reviews

The 2003 Honda Element is a completely new vehicle for Honda. It's also the most adventurous Honda vehicle in quite a long time. Its blend of features, such as barn-style doors and waterproof seats, make it a good choice for those with active lifestyles.

• Impressively versatile interior, optional four-wheel drive, trick audio system, styled as if out of a Japanese animation movie.

• Only seats four, Elements with automatic transmissions and 4WD can seem sluggish.

  03 Element - 2003 Honda Element
  By JH - May 24 - 8:40 pm

  Pretty much solid mechanically, although recently had a $900+ starter replacement. However, a squeaking suspension (even after new shocks), loose sun visors that wont stay tightened, a frozen passenger lock that Honda wont replace since it didnt begin to seize until over 60,000 miles (unlike the driver side, which was fixed for free), & map light lenses that keep falling out, are some 1st yr fit & finish issues with my 2003 Element.

  Finally somethings different. - 2003 Honda Element
  By NKGA - May 10 - 2:00 am

  This car is a great car because its very practical and unique in many ways. Unlike V6, this car has only Inline-4 with 160 hps,which gives a decent fuel economy and proformance. One more thing, every where I go, I always get the attention from people, and all my friends love it when I drive it to school.

  I love my Element. - 2003 Honda Element
  By Dave2003 - May 4 - 10:00 am

  After having a test drive in a Ford Escape, I ventured to the local Honda dealer and found, to my surprise, a truly exciting SUV by appearance and quality. Tons of room, eye-catching design, Honda quality, smooth ride and very fun to drive. My 6 year old son loves it. The "theatre" style rear seats allow him to see everything and he especially likes location of the sun roof (over the rear seats). Overall, Id buy it again. Great vehicle.

  Great vehicle - 2003 Honda Element
  By teetot123 - May 4 - 10:00 am

  Detroit is wrong to create smaller versions of SUVs and place huge MSRPs. Designs out of Detroit are worn and round peg in round hole design. This SUV is great -inside and out - easy to take care of, gas milage is great.. The American companies have to start from the top and lop off these huge MSRPs to cover huge paychecks from senior managment, to the union workers to the car dealers. The glut of the big priced- gas guzzeling SUVs days are numbered with this nice packaged - big cargo space - multi utily SUV vehicle. Buy one and enjoy:)

  The best FUN vehicle by far - 2003 Honda Element
  By Jez - May 4 - 10:00 am

  My wife and I consider wind/kitesurf and ski as FUN. This is the perfect vehicle for us and our dog when we go for FUN road trips. My wife generally hates SUVs, but she loves this vehicle.

  Gen Y? I guess Im younger than I thought - 2003 Honda Element
  By Elemento - May 4 - 10:00 am

  The Honda Element is a great car to drive. Fun, stylish, versatile. What really attracted me to the car is the fact that since Im a family man with a project (aka House) I have to be able to move stuff, sometimes dirty or messy stuff and I didnt want to buy a truck. The interior of the Element could literally be washed out with a hose. With the seats out I can carry bags of mulch, furniture. The new 60 Mitsubishi I just bought. Dog crates etc.. etc. Forget Gen Y, this is functional vehicle heaven. I cant believe I almost bought a truck.. ekk..

  Functionality with flair to spare - 2003 Honda Element
  By Cameraman - May 4 - 10:00 am

  I was looking for a car to haul my camrea gear that had a little more style than a minivan and that was more economical than an SUV. The Element looked like it fit the bill. With the help of an assistant I can load my packed cart right in through the clamshell tailgate. Then, on the job I can drop a rear seat off the side into place and take a client to lunch, listening to them remark how cool the car is! With gas mileage over twenty mpg (near 25 on the road) with regular gas, a comftorable ride, a nice sound system (though the fm reception is poor)and honda reliability with flair to spare, this little suv is close to perfect.

  Takes the Fun out of Functional - 2003 Honda Element
  By green_ghost - April 2 - 6:39 pm

  I love my E for all the features and practicality. Its easy to maintain, easy to clean, and easy to own all around. It runs great with 70,000 miles, and maintenance has been minimal. I really love the waterproof seats and rubber floors. I get sand, mud and water in the car all the time from all the outdoor sports that I do. Its super easy to clean the car and not worry about the mess. I also love the versatility of seating, and cargo space. Its so easy to throw anything I want in the car. The E is Uber functional, just not very fun to drive. Its not fast, not sporty, doesnt handle well at high speed or in corners, but it gets me where I need to go and is reasonably comfortable.
