Used 2004 Honda Element Consumer Reviews
So glad I got my Element
I did a lot of homework and finally got my Element in April and it was worth every single test drive, review read and Consumer Report fax. This is one of the most comfortable and fun to drive vehicles I have owned. I am in the car a lot as I do home health and cover a 30-50 mile radius-and working out of this vehicle is a pleasure. Thank you to all the other Element owners who posted their thoughts-they helped me quite a bit in making my decision.
A 41 YR Old Gen Y'er Loves it
Don't beleive all the hype about an Element only being for young kids. If you need the function and space of an SUV but don't want to overspend $$ or overuse gas, the Element is for you. Overall, the review I read was accurate, except I haven't had any problems w/ road/wind noise. It carries an unbeleiveable amount of stuff.

Great Achievement
The experience of owning an Element cannot be overlooked. It is the perfect vehicle for active lifestyles, raising two children, or just going on a road trip. Plenty of room for all. The 4wd model we purchased has been tested here in East Texas. It pulls my bass boat with ease. It handles rough lake roads and is excellent in heavy rains and snow. We have put 11,000 miles on the vehicle in 5 months. The Honda engineers have simply done wonders with the overall design. We tested just about every SUV on the market before we test drove the Element. We haven't looked back ever since. We are contemplating the purchase of another 04 EX as well.
Fun Vehicle
The only problem that I have had with the Element is the wind noise. The unique door configuration lends itself to exterior sounds. The original armrest is pretty useless and you should get the larger functional armrest with compartment. But it is a fun SUV to drive. I'm a big guy and it is extremely comfortable. And for the highway, it has plenty of zip.
Love my Honda Element
I have been driving my Honda Element for 2 months and I love it. The steering is very precise, it's comfortable around town and on the highway, mileage is not quite a good as my Honda Civic was but for a larger vehicle the mileage is still pretty good I am getting about 28 miles to the gallon. I have 2 dogs and the Honda Element is so perfect for traveling with them. I like the unique body style at first I wasn't sure but after I drove it I had to have it.
