Fun to drive, family friendly. We have two children and found the backseat to be very accessable. We are both around 6 feet tall and have plenty of leg room in both the front and the backseat. Sealing feels vaulted. Love the sound system-270 watts. The colors and interior are very durable. Keyless entry and floormats are a must have. It would be nice if passenger side armrest were standard as we are planning to have one added. Overall, no major complaints, we love it and it gets tons of looks! We've only had it for around 2 weeks and have already been stopped several times by people inquring about purchasing one.

The Element is fun and easy to drive. The only draw back is the visibility out the rear side windows seems obstructed. I love the vehicle and it suits my dogs, me, and my lifestyle.

I've had my Element for a month and I love it. Even my neighbors have grown fond of it's looks too. Usually, you have to wait a few years before your able to purchase a vehicle that has a concept appearance to it. Not now! I receive looks on the road, and people even stop me to see what I'm driving. Honda did a wonderful job on this vehicle. I love mine and probably will for some time. It handle like a car, and the utility of this vehicle is unlimited Try one, and you'll never regret it.

A great utilitarian design - functional and fun! The suicide doors take some getting used to, the driver's armrest could be improved and the gas mileage isn't what I'm used to getting from a Honda, but I love this vehicle!

The only problem I've had....a 6 month wait for the 5 speed model, but it was worth the wait.Love everything about it,smooth drive,great soundsystem,and head-turning looks.I'm obviously into the "ugly factor"in a big way as my 2 Shar-Pei's just love to cruise around town...especially with the back window in the raised position.I'd like a dollar for every time I've been asked "is that the new Hummer"....Hey,it's the Midwest,what can I say.
