Great for the Coast

I live 100mi from Ron Tonkin, so as you can imagine any problems become big problems. The Element is the best car I have owned too bad it is discontinued. I've carried a single bed mattress box spring and frame, and many other large items from Ikea, 2ft X 8ft is a decent maximum.

Love my car

Wish they started making these again. Car is always in high demand. Love the versatility of it and no one makes a car that is "coated" inside.

A beast

I am the only owner of a 2004 Honda Element. It is my dog car. I show in competitive obedience and haul four dogs and all equipment etc. I need. The car never fails to do what it needed to do. It is also the car we tow behind our RV. I plan to keep it for another 100,000 miles.

One of the most usable car/truck I ever owned.

I can't figure out why production was stopped. Ask anyone who owns one and they will say the same thing.>

The Coolest

The Element is a dream vehicle for an artist. Easy to clean and much larger than it looks. So sad that it's not made anymore.

Best Car Ever

I purchased my Element in 2007 when I was moving back to OKC. The back seats lay back and can fold up on the sides to give you lots of room for hauling. The back seats sit up a little higher than the front seats for a better view. Drives great in rain and snow with all wheel drive. There is no carpet so it is easy to clean. The cargo doors make it easy to get in and out of the back seat. It makes me sick that they do not make it any more so I keep the maintenance up to date to keep it running good.

Element Performance

My '04 Honda Element is a 'truly' remarkable vehicle: Over 260,000 miles with minimal expense. Performs reliably in all situations. Functional for most needs. Comfortable and economical with a 25 mpg. Most all parts still original. Safe operation in all weather and road conditions.

I love my Element!

This was my first and only car I've ever owned. I have been driving my Element for 13 years! I never want to drive a different car! I only recently had my AC compressor go out, but I have not had any other major issues with my car. I have hauled couches, washer & dryer, large coffee tables, bicycles, dogs and more in this car! It is very versatile and fun to drive. I really hope it lasts forever!

A Great Little Car

I first thought this was funny looking, but after 13 years and close to 100k miles, and many loads of furniture and building materials, this is one of the best cars I have ever owned. I got it brand new, and have had minimal service issues. It is a 5 speed-I replaced the clutch at 60K miles; however,the majority of my driving was within a 5 mile radius of my inner- city home, but this little car does great on the highway too. Drove it to California twice, through the desert then the mountains. The only issue it does have is the wind. It is considered "high profile" and does get a little shaky at high speeds when it's windy, but I'm talking at 70-75 mph. Never has been a real problem. I got broad-sided by a camry going 35 from out of nowhere. The Element just bounced across two lanes and I was not hurt. It dented the door but not the frame. I have used it for my remodel business-because of the shape, it will fit doors, long shelving, 2x4s, I have moved all kinds of furniture: dressers, full size mattresses, tables, pretty much everything I ever tried. The back seats fold up, the front passenger lays completely down flat. I pulled a U haul trailer across states with no problems. I love this little car and I am sad it isn't being made anymore. I will keep it and drive it as long as possible!

Probably the best used car I have ever owned. Bought it in '06 and it still runs great. Repair costs have been minimal. I wish Honda still made them. I'd buy another one in heartbeat.
