I’ve been teased so many times because I drive an orange box. But that changes when they need to bring home a christmas tree, couch,or a large alligator! This is my second one. Can’t kill ‘em. Be cautious in high winds… the only possible negative comment. Love that the seats go up on the sides. Easy to drive, lots of room for dead bodies. Just hose out the blood! Beware tho: everyone will borrow it!

Love my Element. Only complaint is that it can be noisy on the freeway. Very reliable, goes like a mother [non-permissible content removed] in the snow. Great cargo capacity for camping, road tripping etc...gets good fuel mileage, almost zero maintenance other than oil changes. Love this vehicle!

Bought a used 2011 last yr and had it for a few months. Pros: Easy to clean, esp vinyl flooring, which is a must w/dogs. Able to remove back seats for more room. Consistent 25 mpg. Cons: No telescopic steering wheel, hard, uncomfortable seats, other than power windows/locks, there was nothing updated. Suicide doors were horrible, as were vent windows. How this vehicle was aimed for dogs is beyond me. It should have been 4 doors, all windows could fully open even the back one. Sluggish and the place to charge a phone was also at a inconvenient area.
Buyer Beware!

Our Element is less than two months old. It has failed now to start twice in the morning. The first time the dealer determined that a faulty window switch was the cause. The dealer was unable to identify the cause of the most recent failure and could offer nothing more than a suggestion that we bring the car back in should the problem happen again - although they were unclear what additional steps they could take at that point. We currently regret the purchase. We had hoped to use this vehicle as our main car for out of town trips but now are not confident driving away from town should the vehicle leave us stranded. Not willing to take that chance from a safety perspective.
You have to drive it, to know how great they are.

Best all around utility vehicle ever made. Reliable motor and transmission, storage greater than a suburban, easy clean out floors. It may look like a toaster, but it really cooks!
