Most fun car I have ever owned.
We were picking up our New Honda Odyssey Van when I noticed the Element on the same showfloor it was all opened up and I fell in love with it right off. It is such a fun car, practical and comfortable, inside and out. We bought it in Ames, Iowa at the Honda of Ames Dealership were we have bought all of our cars for many years, we like the reliability of Honda cars and the great design features and love the person that sell's them to us. I think perhabst the Element was designed with young people in mind, and it works, I feel years younger when I drive it, and I'm a 63 year old grandmother.

A "do-it-all" four seater.
This is my first Honda. The reputation for build quality is evident from the start. If you can live with a four passenger vehicle, this is probably the best bang for the buck out there. Highly practical and easy to use, converting to a mini-truck in seconds. I like it and would get another in an instant.
Honda Element
I love it. As a middle aged boater /fisherman/family man(2 kids) it gives me everything I need. My 16 year old is chomping at the bit to get it when she graduates high school. At the price I paid, it is unbeatable for value.
'03 Element
Pretty much solid mechanically, although recently had a $900+ starter replacement. However, a squeaking suspension (even after new shocks), loose sun visors that won't stay tightened, a frozen passenger lock that Honda won't replace since it didn't begin to seize until over 60,000 miles (unlike the driver side, which was fixed for free), & map light lenses that keep falling out, are some 1st yr fit & finish issues with my 2003 Element.
