Strong Element
I cannot say enough good things about Honda in general. With that said, they Element is a beast of a truck/car/suv, too much storage, extremely roomy interior, especially for tall people. I'm 6'5" and have tons of headroom and legspace! Runs flawlessy!
Drives like a truck!
Poor visibility and big blind spots but very reliable and dependable!

Honda Element is a great "Shutterbug!"
This is the most functional vehicle I've ever owned! I'm an amateur photographer and it will easily accommodate all my gear and take me anyplace I need to go to get the shot as long as I don't need over 6.8 inches ground clearance and that's the only con. It handles great! I sure do wish they hadn't quit making these cars or whatever you call them, SUV would probably be the better term. Fantastic vehicle.

ELEMENTARY
My 2003 Honda Element is the "Y" package model. I get about 22 miles to the Canadian(Imperial)gallon in the city. I am also disappointed that there is only one intermittent speed selection for the windshied wiper. The windshield washer is weak and aims too low to be effective while driving at speeds in excess of 30 mph. The ride is a bit rocky. The driver's arm rest is located much too low and is rendered pretty useless. The internal heaters and blowers are excellently impressive, provide plenty of heat at a very relatively quick response after starting in sub-zero weather of -30degrees. The Air conditioning is also very good (in the summer).
I love my Element
I bought "Ellie" brand new and haven't regretted it one day, in fact the closer I get to pay off the more excited I am to see how many miles and years I can keep her on the road, we're only at 116,000 so far. I see us well into 250,000+. It is the most all around usable vehicle I have ever owned. It is transportation, out of the weather hauling, car camping,and a quick nap at lunchtime. She handles the snow and ice, the mountains and loves being loaded with camping gear. I see no reason to ever have any other vehicle.
