Used 2004 Honda Element Consumer Reviews
Love this car!
I LOVE this car! It is the best car for my needs that I've ever owned. It's fun to drive and drives remarkably fast for the engine it has (I often commute over a 7000 foot pass and have gotten up to 94 mph on that climb. Great get- up-and-go). I'm a mountain bike racer and can fit 2 bikes in the back with all my gear. It has so much room for such a small car.
Out in the elements ...
If you are NOT into conventional ideas of status and comfort, the element is fun to drive and the ultimate functional vehicle. We have two elements, and find each is virtually identical in function to a Chevrolet Trailblazer owned by a family member -- yet the two elements (purchase price as well as insurance and license) cost about as much total as the 2003 Trailblazer. The elements have no unecessary electronica and features -- just simple and cost effective transportation. Of course, as they are made by Honda, they don't ever seem to need repairs, either ...

Better than expected
I was looking for a utility vehicle with a bit of personality and the Element became my single focus. I wanted something with a manual transmission and the Element is one of the few SUVs to offer this. What surprised me wss the sporting performance that this vehicle has in terms of passing power and handling, especially for its size. Combined with 4wd, a very decent sound system and flexible configuration, this car is an outstanding value.
Our Cute Box
We specifically looked at Honda Elements because we haul around 2 big Lab. mix dogs who shed year 'round, pant a lot and have wet noses.... It's absolutely perfect for them to ride in the very back, they have windows and a skylight for air, and we can easily clean the floors and occasional back seat hair fest very easily. We are a little disappointed that the gas mileage isn't better, but we are happy with all else about the Element. It could be that we have gotten spoiled about the mileage since we bought a Honda Civic Hybrid at the same time! Thanks. Barb Clark-Elliott (BCE1028@aol.com)
