2007 Honda Element EX 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
Review
We just bought our Element after many hours reviewing the vehicle. So far it has been a lot of fun for our family to drive. We wish the gas mileage was better but we are looking into that. It is just a great car and everyone loves it. We did have to put two baby sun shades side by side over the skylight, works great.
Favorite Features
All of the room in the backseat. The cup holders are great too.
Suggested Improvements
Put a cover over the skylight and make a 5th seat.

2007 Honda Element SC 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
Review
So, like everyone else... my car is my toaster. I love my toaster but I would like to say it rides very rough. It's also much noisier than my hubby's truck. but, it's spacey and really fun to drive. My friends love the back seat b/c they can see what's going on with the theater style seating plus it is really roomy in the back seat. easy to haul stuff too with the size and versatility. I love it, just wish it was less bumpy of a ride.
Favorite Features
The sc look. It makes this car look very sporty. I love the wheels. And the center console.
Suggested Improvements
i wish this car was less bumpy. Also, it would be nice to have a sunroof in the sc model. The sc is designed to be sporty, why not have a sunroof!
Love my element

2007 Honda Element EX 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
Review
This is one incredible vehicle. Perfect for my needs and one monster beast in the snow and ice. Great interior room, looks great from outside and I can easily haul just about anything. Love the fact no carpet to contend with, sweep and wipe and it's clean. Outstanding reliability. I have over 35,000 miles and have had no issues whatsoever. But then it is a Honda, I expected nothing less.
Favorite Features
Interior space, hauling capabilities.
Suggested Improvements
Sometimes having the door open the way in does for the back is a tad cumbersome but I've worked around it.
Dont knock it till u try it....

2007 Honda Element SC 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
Review
I fell in love with the Element when the very first one came out, with the exception of the panel on the vehicle. In '07 when I saw the SC I fell in love all over again. This car may look like a toaster, but from the inside out it is an exceptional vehicle. I love the room it provides on the inside to how there's no panel on the outside. I've had my SC since Nov. '06 and still have it today with over 37,000 miles on it and I haven't had to this day any problems with my SC, except taking it in for regular maintenance. I feel it's one of the best investments u'll ever make and u wont regret it one bit. For everyone else who's had problems I think it's the driver not the car!

There's nothing I don't like about it.

one thing and that's it needs a sun roof

2007 Honda Element SC 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
Review
Cons: The Element is my first Honda and probably the last. Reliability and build quality was surprisingly poor with subpar components. Tires wore out at 24,000 miles, all new brakes (rotors & pads) at 30,000, speedometer broke at 5,000 miles, windshield replaced twice with mystery cracking, drivers seat cushioning compressed and wrinkled, and scheduled services are over priced. The ride of the SC model is very harsh if the road is less than perfect - I had to stop drinking coffee in the car due to it too easily splashing. Brakes are noisy even shortly after replacement. Very uncomfortable for long drives due to no "dead pedal".
Favorite Features
The look is cool and the space in the rear is great. Love the ability to easily move the seats around without removing them.
Suggested Improvements
Build quality and ride are poor for a Honda. Too many unexpected expenses in the first 30,000 miles!

2007 Honda Element EX 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
Review
I love my Honda element. This is my second one. Only issue i have is that this is the second time that the master brake cylinder went out after about 29,000 miles. It was under warranty. I also had a 2004 element and the same thing happened. Kinda odd that it would go out in my 2007 element. I think Honda should check into a internal leap problem in the master brake cylinder. Other wise, I love my element. thanks.
Favorite Features
Lots of space inside
Suggested Improvements
Putting a moon roof closer to the middle. Putting better tires on the new car. My good year tires only got me 30,000 miles.

2007 Honda Element EX 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
Review
Okay, when my Dad owned one in Silver I totally thought it looked like a toaster. He raved about it, so when the lease on my 2004 Grand Cherokee was up I thought what the heck (always been a Jeep girl) Test drove the Element and the CR-V and to be honest the CR-V was teeny inside, my husband is 6'5" and he has plenty of room, so do my two boys. I love the ease of a rubber floor with two kids and the special order stain proof fabric on my EX. But most of all Mommy loves cranking up the tunes on the killer stereo system. Super fun to drive & own. Better than any Jeep I have ever had, more fun to drive, better gas mileage and AWD if I ever need it!
Favorite Features
Stereo system, comfort, very peppy engine, ease of maintenance all around (interior, exterior)
Suggested Improvements
Get rid of the suicide doors, very bad with kids in crowded parking lots. Also make sunroof electric and add shade cover for sunroof. Hybrid model or improved gas mileage.

Review
I love my Honda Element but the blinds spots are annoying when backing up. I have had to replace the brakes on the rear after only 17,000 miles. Honda Corp. has not followed up on my complain either to resolve the issue. I have owned many vehicles and have never had to service calipers or replace brakes with so little miles. Very disappointed in Honda in how they handled the issue.
Favorite Features
Rubberized floor mats. Fun to drive and great for hauling stuff.
Suggested Improvements
remove some of the blind spots. replace manual sunroof and rear windows with automatic.

2007 Honda Element LX 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I was in love with the element from day one, it took me until 2006 to finally take a look inside . I was hooked! In dec. 2006 my dealer found a 2007 kiwi lx manual I ordered and bought it on the spot, no test drive needed. I read different reviews for people wanting carpet, different shifter location etc. For them I say "get a normal car." the Element is not for everyone, but good for children, pets, hauling things and having fun.
Favorite Features
Everything, looks, color, performance, safety and weird
Suggested Improvements
None , Nata , Zip

Review
OK, I confess: I did convince the dealership to put carpet, floor mats, and the SC wheels on my E. There, I said it. Notwithstanding, I really love this vehicle. With the 18s it corners better than my 2007 Camry SE (manual) did. I am really amazed. True, it is not the most aerodynamic vehicle on the road, but it'll pass. I love the versatility of cargo space usage. I can get a lot of stuff inside, like 6 foot trees, etc. It makes trips to home improvement stores a breeze. I like that it takes up less floor space in my garage too. It's odd that a vehicle with so much interior room is shorter than a Corolla. I enjoy my E.
Favorite Features
Interior room, manual transmission option, small footprint, decent handling capability.
Suggested Improvements
Sunroof in front, SC-style center console, better gas mileage, 5 passenger capacity.
