Used 2003 Honda Element Consumer Reviews
Element of choice
This was not our first choice...it grows on you! It has an odd appearance on the outside, but once you get in and see the space and configuration you will love it! The head room is incredible and my little boy falls asleep from the smooth ride in the back seat. We love the feel and the versatility. We travel with our dog and like to go hiking etc so it fits our lifestyle.
Great car looking for a few improvements
Very happy with our purchase. Fun to drive with ample power for most people. Averaging 21.5 MPG on mixed driving. We love the "ugly" factor.

Element's damage in accident
My husband wanted it SO bad! I wanted the Ford Escape. Thank God he convinced me! In the icy snow, we totaled our 03 Element and it saved our lives! Unfortunately, the 20 mph impact into a mountainside and then into a tree did a lot of damage to the front end and rear suspension, but it's a tough little truck with a lot of safety features people don't know about! Other then minor bruises from the seatbelts, we WALKED away happy customers and on our way to Honda to buy a 2005!
So Much Fun & RELIABLE
The manual is so effortless and produces more power than you would think from the four banger. The interior is great even for a 6'3" driver-- and for even taller guys in the back. The car's build quality is impeccable-- you can really tell when you go over railroad tracks and you don't feel the rattles or such like other SUV's. Hats off to Honda.
Pure pleasure.
Most fun vehicle I have owned thus far.
