Lots of Maintanence Problems

I have only 64,000 miles on my Honda Element and I still enjoy its utility. However with this low mileage I have already had a blown clutch, a blown compressor for the AC, and a persistent problem with the door locks in that the keys do not work. I have been a faithful Honda owner for many years and have always had a manual transmission. I am a careful driver. To have over 5000 dollars in maintenance already with this low mileage is a serious test to my brand loyalty.
Honda's homage to the VW bus

The name Element suggests alchemy, and that's what has emerged from the Honda lab: a bit of the original Volkswagen bus's utility and oddball form combined with Honda reliability (I hope). I've mostly hated the cars I've owned as necessary evils, but I love my Element.

I bought this SUV new in 2003 and just traded it in in December 2024. It served me well for going on 22 years with no major issues, just basic upkeep. My only issue was it had a bad blind spot on the left driver’s side.

Great handling and economy for an SUV. Parking is never a problem and the Element turns on a dime. Performance is adequate and it runs as smooth as a sewing machine. We can haul our two dogs with ease and the cargo area is very versatile.
