Please; Sir May I have Another ???
My wife had got hers in march of 2004 it was a 2003 Dx 2wd hold over. I was driving my 2001 gas hog F150 14 mpg in town and 16 highway and it was just killing me in cost to keep it gased up so bye bye to that at $2.00+ per gallon so now after a few months with the ex i had only 1 prob with the cruise button that broke and her 03 dx had to have the drivers seat bracket replaced i was told this (the seat bracket)was a issue with the early models but thats it.

Love My Element Except for AC Issue
I love this little SUV...the AWD is grippy when you need it, the performance is okay for what I need (it can get out of its own way at least), the roominess inside can only be described as CAVERNOUS. It is super fun to drive because you can turn it on a dime and put it anywhere...it's very responsive for a box on wheels, surprisingly so. It has been reliable and dependable on everyday jaunts and on long trips. The seats, while not cushy, are VERY comfortable, like sitting in a chair rather than in a car. 1000 miles doesn't even fatigue you! One bad thing...AC compressor went at 36K miles and it will cost $1200 to fix (lowest estimate). CR-Vs and E's of these years have been known for this.
I Love My Element
I have been extremely pleased with my Element. So far I have only about 2000 miles on it but I am extremely pleased. It is fun to drive and handles well for this type of vehicle. Of course, the Honda quality speaks for itself and so far I believe that the Element will live up to the Honda reputation. It gets one of two responses from those who see it. Either they think it is really cute and love it or they think it is totally ugly and don't like it. It definitely isn't for everyone but I kind of like that. I am interested in pleasing myself, not pleasing the trend. If this vehicle continues to please as it does now I would say that it is a home run!
not my dream car but....
I wanted an SSR but the "War Department" said (an emphatic) "NO ." A compromise is now the vehicle I look forward to driving daily.We drove to NYC 3 weeks ago in every bad waether condition imaginable and the ELEMENT conveyed us four in comfort AND STYLE ! This car was designed for Generation X....but everyone I see driving it is an old fart like me !The back seats come completely out to leave a cavernous amount of space and the mileage per is much better than my Wrangler. As far as I'm concerned , Honda has a big hit on its hands with the ELEMENT ! And such a deal I got : Leased it on line and our salesman delivered to our HOUSE ,ON A SATURDAY !
