After coming from a very verstile PT Cruiser, I was very pleased with everything from the workmanship to the relations I have had with the dealer. It's a lot of fun to drive and love how I can configure the seats to whatever I want. It has one of the best sound systems I have every heard. I has space everywhere. And the washable floor and seats are a definate plus! The only small complaint I have is the amount money added to the vehicle for only a couple of options adds up fast.

We got the car in Feb this year as soon as they Came Out...we frequent the beach often, and my old car Toyota camery I had to vaccume out all the time this car I just sweeep and throw some armoral on to clean it. Perfect looks like new. I'm 26 with two children 5 and 3 it is also perfect clean up car for them, messes dissapear fast. It drives well I have never had any problem and have about 15000+ miles on it. The only thing I don't love, just because I drive so often is gas milage, not the best coming from a Camery but it's worth it in the end. I coulnd't have picked a more perfect vehicle.

Element; Not just for "surfer dudes"

I think we're the first to own an Element in our area and we love it. We've been getting favorable stares left and right. It's very reasonably priced and you get a lot. The ride is pretty smooth and the pickup is great. The interior design is really unique and easy to access. (You can't hose it down though.) The back is amazingly roomy. There is a great selection of colors. If you have kids, the "suicide" doors are perfect for putting in car seats or having kids just climb right in. Overall, we love it.

So far it has done very well in the snow. I love the interior setup. I'm planing a trip in a few months and the space will be wonderful. I had a Civic Del Sol before, which I loved, but this is so much more usable. It even allows me to keep my motorcycle in the same stall with it. Its only 12 inches longer then my Del Sol. I get lots of looks and the most interesting comment is, "It looks like a Hummer." I never thought that before I bought it, but I can see some resemblance. Its so quiet compared to my Del Sol. Its a very comfortable vehicle with a great sound system too. I have found the acceleration to be just fine, even better then my Del Sol.
