I don't fit the marketing target profile for Element owners (63 years old, retired), but this car is the most fun to drive and is the most versatile of any I've ever owned. Three of my friends have purchased Elements after they saw the incredible flexibility in mine. I've had the car four months and have had zero, zip problems with it. I enjoy the curious looks I get while driving it, and I actually think the car is attractive.

FUN TO DRIVE, IT FEELS LIKE A MINI- HUMMER. VERY QUIET ENGINE AND PLENTY OF GO POWER. A VERSATILE SUV WITH PLENTY OF STORAGE AND COFFEE CUP HOLDERS. GET IT DIRY...JUST HOSE THE INSIDE DOWN...WATERPROOF. USES REGULAR UNLEADED GAS.

Great Versatile Vehicle

2004 Honda Element LX Fwd 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

This Suv is perhaps the most thought out and versatile vehicle I have own. The engine is a little weak and excelleration is moderate. Fuel economy is average for Honda, but excellent when compared to other SUVs. The drive takes a while to get used to because of the long space between the driver and A-Pillar, but it drives very nice and responsive. The turning radius of the element is excellent, turns on a dime. Alot more interior room than anything in its class, especially for rear passengers. I do hear alot of road noise, mostly from the wind, because of the square non- aerodynamic shape.

Suits to a TEE

Just want to say that I have never owned a vehicle that I really would like to hang onto forever. I have had other Honda vehicles, but this is my forte. It is very easy to get into and out of, even my handicapped husband can get into the back seat without any problems (I have the running boards). The seats in the back are comfortable and have lots of leg room. I have a car seat for a child, and am glad for the LATCH system. I can do all of my shopping and my friend's shopping without worrying that we don't have enough room. It handles great on the road and is very easy to park, especially in tight spots. I am excited.
