What a car, no it is a truck, no it is a suv. It is all. It is a great little all around utility machine that we use to go to point A and back.

My husband and I have 2 Children under 3. We are in our late 20's. I know Honda expected this car to be for young men in their early 20's, little did they know it is a perfect alternative to the minivan. We use the fold down seats for a changing table when we are out. the kids love being able to see everything with the stadium seating. It handles almost like a car. My friends love it when the ride with me. I talked a friend into getting one and she loves hers as well.

Mini Hummer but reliable

Great ride and handling. Last tank on the road I got 25mpg. Looks like a refrigerator on wheels but lots of storage space -- great for my dog. Reliability to date outstanding.

So far so good. I have owned my green Element EX 4 wheel drive automatic for two weeks, and am very pleased. My other car is a Mustang GT convertible. The Element is not underpowered (for my uses, mostly intown commuting and hauling stuff), as some reviewers [including Edmunds.com] had suggested. Everything inside seems spacious and sensibly designed. I looked at SUV's and cross-overs, and this Element suited my needs best; not too formal or faux luxurious and not cheap looking either. I am really taken with the design.

The Element is Excellent

It's a Honda, it's cool, and it turns heads. I can't tell you how many people have asked me how I like my Element. Highway ride is nice - and there is no "drum" sound that many of the critics talk about. I am 6'7" tall, and I have plenty of head and leg room. MP3 jack and excellent stereo system enhance the sweet ride of the Element! If you are looking for a versatile SUV - this is the one.
