Speaking for myself and one of my children who are 6' tall. The room can not be beat! We went to every dealership in a hundred mile radious and the Element won out. It has taken us a little bit of time to get use to it's looks on the outside but now that we own it we love it! The only thing that we wish was an option was a built in navigation system and DVD system built in.

We bought ours as a 2 yr old model with 26K miles. I named it The Earl-ament. We bought in preparing to have a more baby friendly car, that has some ground clearance in case of high water. We are very pleased with the vehicle. We wish we could find a slightly larger vehicle with the rest of the features that would help accommodate the stuff two little boys.

Great fun factor vehicle. I am getting about 25-26 miles per gallon with manual transmission. This is a great car that would serve the all the purposes: vacation, basic transportation, big item moving or purchasing. Mine is a DX, so the only thing I miss is the cruise control, everything else is very well thought and placed. I love my Element,and I plan to have it for a good while. Buyer beware: if you drive it, you'll like it... and buy it.

I was in the market for a work vehicle,the Honda Element&the Nissan Ex- terra were my two choices. After test driving each manual transmission vehicles my choice was clear. I had a trailer hitch installed last week,will be hauling two Harley Davidson motorcycles soon behind the Element.

Gutsy, gorgeous, and gas efficient! I loved my 2003 Honda Element so much that I bought a second one in 2004 so my husband could have one as well. It is roomy, family friendly, rugged and wicked cool looking to boot. I bought one in green and one in blue, the only colours that offered matching interior trim. I also love the new sky light in back that comes out; you can put in its place a screen! I also love the options, I got the running boards, roof rack, interior rubber mats, front seat covers and stearing wheel cover. It is very stylish!

Owned a Mercedes SUV and after 4 years I was tired of not being able to get anything in the back of the car. The flat floor of the Element is wonderful - you can get anything in! .. easy to clean and I love the back rear doors since it is like the old station wagons -- you can leave the top open if you have something extra long. For the price it is a great, fun car... and it is EASY TO KEEP CLEAN INSIDE.

This is by far one of the most fun cars I've ever owned. It just does something to me that when I see open fields of snow I want to veer off the road and go driving through them. I feel the call of the wild beckoning me to come and play with my new Element. I didn't like the looks of the Element when I first saw them. In fact, I thought it was down right ugly. But once I found the color that I liked, it really grew on me. Best ride for the money.

My wife and I are 50 and have been driving three different Chevy Tracker Convertibles since 1992. We purchased the Element in November of 2003. Our very first reaction was god that puppy is ugly,but after viewing one in person our opinion change almost imediately. The whole package is totally outstanding. The maintaince is unreal as well. It hardly calls for any service compared to the tracker. There is not one thing that we dislike about the Element and hope to drive it for a long time. Once again we have a FUN vehicle.

I am the proud owner of an orange 2004 Honda Element EX 4x4. It is safe, efficient, simple, comfortable, and very sure-footed on icy and snow-packed roads. The build quality is even better than that of my 1995 Accord (and I drove that car for 178,000 trouble- free miles). The styling is just different enough to differentiate itself from the countless thousands of bland Explorers and Tahoes that dominate surburban driveways. The visibility from the driver's seat is excellent and the short, sloped hood allows a clear view of the road immediately ahead of the vehicle. It corners very well and lacks the tippy feeling of so many SUVs. Overall, it is a very AFFORDABLE and functional SUV.

This SUV is really great! Even though its the same engine like the CR-V, this car has style and looks. Has a lot of room and i can actally put something big in the trunk. Even though the exterior looks like its a box, it beats the toyota scion looking more like a BOX. This ride is for more young ones. The price is affordable.

We are retired and not in Honda's target market for the Element. I think the vehicle is to practical for the X or Y generation. It's fun to drive, although the short wheel base gives a choppy ride on rough roads. Goes great in snow even without AWD.

I wanted to buy a versatile vehicle like the CRV but instead drove out of the dealership with an Element.This is a very poorly thought out vehicle. Example, when you fold up the rear seats to make more room it actually blocks your side window access when you are backing up.This vehicle weighs almost 3,500 lbs and the standard "Accord" powerplant strains to pull it around. My AWD gas mileage city/hwy average 21-22 per gallon.The weight distribution of the "AWD" v.s. the "2 wheel" drive is noticeably different and the vehicles drive differently( I have driven both versions).

There is good and bad about this vehicle. The bad being those great plastic floors( that I normally love) become very slick if cleaned with Armoral ( my local carwash armoralled the whole inside) My purse slid underneath the break pedal and I was unable to stop when nessecary. The good this is I didnt substain any injuries form colliding with a large truck at 45 miles an hour. Airbags deployed like expected and the vehicle absorbed all of the force that passengers would normally get.

First time I saw one I thought it was the ugliest thing going. When I looked closer and did my research I couldn't wait to get in one. I ski, snowshoe, camp, fish and unfortunately have to commute everyday. This is about as near to perfect as a vehicle can get for my needs. ONLY SUV I have ever considered buying. Why? Because of it's LEV engine and MPG. It's as good or better than most cars so no enviornmental guilt here. Compare and you will buy.

I use mine as a high mileage "bail- bond" runner with my advertising on all four sides. It's a design icon so it gets a LOT of notice. Incredibly versatile, tremendous value, good gas mileage, reasonably comfortable. If I get too tired to drive, I jump in the back and sleep a couple of hours and then I'm back to it. I've enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Stadium seating is cool.

With two small kids and a dog, I needed a second car that could carry everyone if needed (and if our van was unavailable). The Element is great in this role. On weekdays it gets me to work and back, and on the weekends we can gather up our gear and the dog and go. Liquid spills and dog hair are all easily washed away. A fun car to drive. Honda build quality is evident everywhere.

When you live in an area that has all types of weather conditions, you need a vehicle that can get you where you want to go.The interior is roomy...go shopping or biking, haul your furniture to the upholsterers,the ceiling clearance allows you to pack in more stuff than you would imagine. Not only does it get you there it does it with funky style. I love this vehicle!

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.

Now that I am in the Element, I get heads turning all of the time. Being a female, I love the attention!!! It's like a morale booster. Everyone says that it is Huge on the inside. I had been waiting for years to find that SUV that would catch my attention. I liked the Honda CRV and even the Sportage but nothing took my breath away like the Element did. When I first laid my eyes on that vehicle, I chased that man down just to see what was it. It was like love at first sight! Three weeks later I was driving in my new HONDA ELEMENT!!!

Awesome! My other car is a Mercedes SL500, and I find myself taking the Element more often than not. The Element is fun, well-built, and incredibly versatile. The interior is the greatest asset. It has rubberized surfaces for easy cleaning and long wear. The rear seats fold to make a bed, fold out of the way, or can be removed. This car can do snow, dirt, camping, hauling, delivery, daily driving, and it does it all well.

If you can get past the styling, which grows on you after a while, the Element is a very functional car that will give you years of trouble free driving. The utility of the vehicle is outstanding. The "suicide doors" and the clamshell rear hatch are great selling points to the vehicle. The plastic floor may be great for some people who have pets, but if you don't I'd suggest the carpeted floor mats that the dealer offers as an accessory. Don't be fooled by the 4 cylinder engine. It has more pickup than a lot of 6 cylinders I've driven. Remember, the Element only seats 4 people so if you have a big family the Element may not be for you.

The element get feature is the calm doors make its interior access a pleasure for not only entering and exting but cleaning also. The leg room for driver and front passanger is a little cramped but the head and amr space makes up for it. I bought all option for the vehical espeacially for the extirior, it cost close to an additional seven thousand, but it was worth it. It looks like a different call when you put on the trim. The 2.4 litter engin has plenty of power. I have trailer hitch and plain on useing it this summer, so I can't coment on its towing capiblities, but main taining speed even on steep inclines is no problem. The car is built soiled giving you a safe feeling inside.

We love our Honda Element. My husband is a PIG!! Someone finally made a car for him. You can wash out the inside in a minute. You can put big, awkward, bulky things in the car with ease. Taking messy yard waste to the dump is easy now that we can clean the car so easily. He thinkshis car is really COOL and I think it is WONDERFUL and really CUTE. The backdoor business is a pain, but because of it you can get things in and out easily. It is a trade off. We don't ferry klds anymore so we don't care about it that much.It would not be convenient for dropping off kids. WE LOVE IT!!!! Thank you Honda for saving my marriage!!! N. Weber

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!

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 was looking for a car that could haul a lot, from furniture to pets, that I wouldn't have to worry about getting dirty inside when, voila, Honda created the Element. I love its simple interior, pracitcal interior styling, with no-frills flooring and upholstery (able to be hosed off and wiped down). The versatility of the seating and space arrangement is everything I could have asked for. I do wish the seats were a bit more comfortable and that the gas mileage was a bit higher. An Element hybrid, now that would be something!

The Element is versatile and roomy, rear seats remove or fold to sides...great storage, especially overhead compartment, controls easy to read and automatic shift in comfortable position. The rear seating is roomy, although the back only seats four. The car is reliable and runs well with excellent steering and breaking. The fuel economy is good. I average 24-26 MPG. The Element handles well in ice and snow and has a killer stereo. I love the MP3 jack for my ipod. The side doors opened easily to load equipment.

I thought it was the ugliest car on the planet until I opened the door and looked in. It's enormous inside! I fell in love with the interior. The exterior grows on you over time. I now joke that "When it grows up, it wants to be a Hummer." Either way, it's well built. Not a problem in almost 2 years, and it gets decent gas mileage to boot.

I have had my Honda well past the breaking in. As a matter of fact when I collided with a red light runner last year, I was lucky to have been driving my Element. My daughter and I were unhurt, and my Honda withstood the impact very well. The firefighters who rescued me were also impressed by the car-airbags deployed and all. I cannot say enough about this vehicle except to say that when my daughter leaves for college next year she will be driving the Element, and Momma is getting a new car, another Element. After all, when something fits and works so well, why change it? Thank you Honda engineers, you made the perfect multigenerational car. Now make a hybrid Element for me

Came time to trade in the 94 Accord and being a young active couple we needed something we could really get some use out of.We test drove the automatic and love it! The usability was great and the layout was fun. The only thing we were a little dissapointed with was the power,but we wanted the manual and they didn't have one to test drive at the time. When we did get to drive it,well we signed the papers.Just wanted to thank Vic and all the people at Manchester Honda in CT. that helped us. There's nothing like getting in to your vehicle every day and it makes you smile,by the way ours is green and friends and family have already nickname it SHREK !

I am a tried and true Honda driver. I had and accord, 2 CRV's, and my Element. You can't beat a Honda. I believe they are the most reliable car on the road. The Element is a great vehicle - Fun to drive and very durable. Tons of room. My fifteen year old son is 6 foot 2 inches tall and still has room to stretch his legs in the back seat and more than enough head room. He also enjoys the sunroof over the back seat. For a small active family this is the vehicle to have. The drive and comfort level outways the CRV.

This is one of the most well thought out vehicles on the market today. Although Honda tried to target the younger drivers. Im 44 years old and appretiate all that the element offers. As a home owner, there are times when I have to haul items. The removal of the rear seats makes this task very easy. As well as the clean up, when all you have to do is wash out the interior with a hose. The comfort and styling are impressive too. And the sound system is superb. My wife and I really like having the Element experience. We're boggled!

I've had a lot of cars and I always get sick of them quick! But I am in love with my Element and when it comes time for me to get a new car it will be a newer version! The back seat is awesome! Very spacious for long road trips and comfortable enough for 3 people without feeling crowded! I love how the back seat can either be folded up or taken out with little to no effort! And the vinyl instead makes muddy shoes and drink spills no big deal! I keep windex and paper towels in the back and when I end up with a mess it's gone quick! The front seat is also very comfortable and has lots of neat features!

Just bought my ELEMENT and I love it. My first foray into SUV and this one is not only Funky, but Fun to drive and travel in. ThisSUV is NOT like everyone else. This is not the Soccer Mom's SUV! This is the I want to have fun and travel in style SUV and I couldn't be more impressed with it's style comfort and power!

Drive it...you'll buy it! This is the 1957 VW Beatle made for 2004.
