NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS!!!

I have been looking at the Elements for a few days now and I have liked every part of it so far. The only problem I can really argue over is that the outside is alittle ugly at first, but it grew on me in less than five minutes. The price is very reasonable and not needing a tuneup before 110,000miles is a plus.

Have always loved Honda cars. The element is a great vehicle for me whether it's getting to work on a snowy day, hauling home landscaping supplies or baby furniture, it's got the space and it's so easy to clean up. Which I also appreciate when my son make a mess in the back seat.

This is the first car I have owned for more than 5 years. I think it's a keeper. I live in Mexico and it's the perfect vehicle for the terrain. And like all good Mexicans, you can get at least 6 adults in it - not comfortably - but none the least useful to the culture! Whenever I have it maintenanced here in Mexico, everyone at the dealership has to get inside and check it out and so do the customers - it's definitely a head turner. I had a front end accident and the Element barely had a dent while the other Nissan pickup looked like a Mack truck had hit it. Even in Mexico, Honda dealerships provide excellent service! I have a 4wd/EX Sunset Orange.

My 03 Element is my first brand new vehicle I've ever bought. I love everything about this vehicle. At 400k its still going strong with its original motor and transmission. I've waited for years for Honda come out with the Element again after they stop making them in 2011. I gave up waiting so I bought a used 2017 Ridgeline. I love my Honda's. Also still got my first Honda which is a Manuel 1990 Honda Accord. It's at 400k+ miles with its original motor and transmission. Keep them Maintained they go forever. From the Honda girl.

Beware - there is no protection for the radiator! Mine's already been bashed by road hazards!
