Used 2005 Honda Element Consumer Reviews
Needs a hybrid 6
Great design - the folding seat, the suicide doors. It already seems to appeal to eco-friendly types. Listen to the other reviews and give it a 6 cyl engine for more HP, but make it a hybrid for better gas mileage.
Small Outside? XL Inside
Only had it for 1 week. Comfortable ride in front seats. Little bit chompy ride in back seats over bumps. Looks smaller than other SUV on outside, rides tall feels large inside, enough to accomadate 6-2 drivers. Gas mileage is average for this 4 cylinder SUV, only got 229 city miles on first full tank. Also some wind noise when driving on freeway at higher speeds.

Don't know where I'd be without it.
I bought this car because I am in a band, and I needed a strong and rugged car to haul all of my equipment in. At first sight I thought it was the ugliest thing in the world, but as time went on I became much more attached. I love the seats; not only are they comfortable, but they are waterproof and stain resistant. The audio system is amazing and the fact that the rear seats fold up easily makes it very easy to transport my stuff. What really surprised me, and something that I haven't seen mentioned, is the incredible handling and sharp turning capability of this car compared to others in the same price range. I would highly recommend the Element, even if you think it looks funny.
I love my Element!
The thing I love most about my Element is that it's so unique. There are no other SUVs out there that even compare to the Element, inside or out. It drives great and corners very well for an SUV. It's extremely spacious without being too plain. It has so many accesories you can get to personalize your Element to fit your lifestyle. It's really an SUV that will do anything you want it to do, be anything you want it to be. Whether it's hauling people from place to place or using it as a tent, it does all things well!
I love my Element
I've had this vehicle for 6 months now. The ride is stiff. It uses more gas than my accord 4 cylinder. But it's considered a truck or compact SUV so I'm not taking anything away for that. For the $21k sticker and fully loaded with premium wheels, AWD, and XM satellite radio, it's a bargain for a SUV.
