Takes the Fun out of Functional

I love my E for all the features and practicality. It's 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. It's super easy to clean the car and not worry about the mess. I also love the versatility of seating, and cargo space. It's so easy to throw anything I want in the car. The E is Uber functional, just not very fun to drive. It's not fast, not sporty, doesn't handle well at high speed or in corners, but it gets me where I need to go and is reasonably comfortable.
Better than a MiniVan

My wife wanted a minivan because she kept hitting her head or the baby's head while getting into a Civic sedan. She saw how convenient the sliding doors are on them. I didn't want a minivan, so I showed her the Element. Perfect! It's easy to get in and out of with a baby. It's child proof! It's roomy! It looks great in black! It's also very stable and picks it nose up in the twisties, instead of diving its' nose. Great trucklet!

There is no better car if you, like I, need to haul furniture or just more than you intended to buy at Costco. I have had the car for four years and almost 60,000 miles, and there have been no major repairs needed. As a result, this Element has cost far less to own and maintain than I ever expected. Although some people dislike the way the back doors open, it is a real advantage when you are trying to reach items or move bulky furniture in or out. On occasion, I have removed the back seats and used the element as a small van when moving our adult children to college or a new apartment. There is almost as much room as a small UHaul. In short, I am very satisfied with this car.
Worst car ever

I was so happy when I first bought my 03 element but after 2 weeks with the car, everything changed. From problems with the trothle, seats breaking apart, cluster malfunctions, brake issues, suspension problems. Engine failure. Seems this honda was a big mistake. Bought it with almost 100k, after investing more than 2k fixing problems, this car is the worst car i've had in 19 years driving. It keeps falling apart even using original parts. Never buying a Honda EVER AGAIN.
