Re: Comfort? [biancar]
I find my 2008 Element's seat to be plenty comfortable. I also have a 2002 Honda Accord EX, and I get lower back pain when I drive the Accord for many miles, while I do not with the Element.

Re: Thinking of Purchasing Used Element [dpomper]
I own a 2006 Element AWD auto with 64K miles and love the car! I drive hard with lots of stop and go and lots of dusty roads. On second set of tires (first replacement set) and replaced front pads once. Other than that, regular oil changes is about all I've needed. I am such a believer we bought a 2008 for my wife to drive. We are a 2 Element ... Read More

Re: New Element EX AWD [pepsicolacat]
the 2008 honda element awdex automatic gets the same gas mileage as a fwdex auto and the auto awd gets better than a fwd stick shift. Well technically, the 08 awdex is 1 mpg less efficient than the fwdex, on both the highway and city side.

Re: Element buying in Maine
Beware Prime Honda in Saco Maine. I tried to purchase a 2008 AWD EX leftover in December, and they used 2 distinctive tools to try and up the purchasing price; 1. After a few phone calls to inquire and begin the interest portion of the deal, they stated a price on the phone that seemed in the correct ballpark for this car. When arriving to have the face to face encounter, ... Read More

price paid on 2008 Honda Element
I told the dealer I'd give them a plug, so here goes. I had been calling just about every dealer in southeast for about a month, I became somewhat discouraged because I know I should be able to get a deal somewhere. right? Unfortunately, I always had to go through the typical crap, eventhough I always asked for the out-the-door price (which I never really got). For a while, I stopped ... Read More

Re: [SalGood]
Yesterday my wife & I purchased a new 2008 Honda Element EX AWD Auto for $20,300 - delivered to my door. I'm in Portland, Or. Being a rainy city, these plastic boxes are a relatively popular car in these parts, so there didn't seem to be any mass discounting on the '09. We didn't purchase any accessories as we'd rather live with the car for a few months and decide what ... Read More

Hello I don't know if everybody gets my experience with 2009 Element models, but here is my story. 1.

Re: Please help! confused, ready to buy Element [heyheyjude]
You are welcome! About your second post, I don't know where you are (for some reason I thought Washington state?), but it could make a difference in how much inventory they have. In my experience the volume dealers (the ones who sell more cars) are likely to have a larger supply of Elements (its my understanding that they are given "x" number Elements for "x" number of the good selling cars ...

Re: 2008 Honda Element SC Front End Bra [jczmom]
Ask your dealer if they install the 3M clear bra. It is just a clear covering that goes over the front end and about six inches up on the hood. Barely noticeable and works very nicely.

Re: Dealer Cash available on leases? [cscds]
Hey Cynthia. Yep, Honda is still providing the same dealer cash on the 2008 Element. The destination fee is legit. It is essentially part of vehicles' prices and every consumer has to pay it. The tire tax is legit as well. The doc fee is a different story though. While most dealers charge consumers some sort of doc fee, it really isn't much more than a way for them to add ... Read More

Price paid today for EX 4WD in Cincinnati
I first got a price from the Costco-connected dealer in Indianapolis, where I live. It was a good price, but at crunch time they denied that they had made the verbal offer, and the price went up by about $500. As I always do, I called about 15 dealers locally and in surrounding states, and found the best deal at Coleraine Jeff Wyler Honda in Cincinnati. For a 2008 Element EX ... Read More

Re: Dealer Cash available on leases? [azbriank]
Hi azbriank. Honda still is not providing any lease support on the 2008 Element in June. If you were to lease one through Honda Finance right now for 36 months, you would have to use its buy rate lease money factor of .00250 (for consumers who qualify for its "Super Preferred" credit tier and pay a security deposit at lease signing). Even though it is not offering a special money factor ... Read More

Re: Dealer Cash available on leases? [darthnascar]
Hi darthnascar. In the past when Honda was not offering a special lease money factor on the Element, one could used the dealer cash to reduce the capitalized cost of their lease. However, Honda has since introduced lease support on the 2008 Element. This lease support is not compatible with the dealer cash that Honda is currently providing on this model. So the dealer was telling the truth about the dealer ... Read More

I know there is no guarantee that the pics are the actual new look of the Element, but thanks for making my decision easier.

2008 Redesign?
Has anyone heard anything about the 2008 redesign? Do you think now that the CRV has become more car-like, Honda will make the Element a little more truck-like to further distinguish the two vehicles?

Will there be a follow up model to the first Element in 2008 or later? Or will there be only one? It's hard to gauge its popularity and profitability to Honda.

Hmm, you're upside down on the Dodge, but you aren't happy with it. Maybe try to sell it privately, you'll get more than the dealer will offer (wholesale, basically). There's the catch with the huge rebates Dodge offers - values drop like a rock falling off a cliff. Without interest, $315 per month adds up to $18,900 over 5 years. But subtract the $3000 you still owe and you have about ... Read More

Dieselement
When the new low-sulfur diesel fuel becomes standard in the US in 2006, will the Element get the option of 2.4 liter diesel engine in the Euro Accord? I suppose by then, the Element would be a 2007 model and Honda might just wait for the next generation Element in 2008 or so instead of bothering with this one.
