The Best

I have had over 35 cars over 63 years of driving, and the Honda Element was (is) the Best car I have ever had, by far.

I love my Element

I love my Element and would buy another in a heart beat. It's too bad they quit making them. It's the most practical vehicle I've ever owned. And the standard transmission is fun.

Perfect car for us

So disappointed that they will not be making them anymore. We have a 2005 EX AWD with the sunroof which we love. Want a newer one but that's apparently not possible. The sunroof is wonderful for our long road trips as we have a memory foam mattress in it and we sleep in it. We call it our "hard shell tent".

Best vehicle, ever!

Unfortunately, the engine went out at 170K. It was the best little puddlejumper I have ever driven, for about 6 years. Just not worth putting another engine in the critter, though. And, really too bad Honda stopped making them, too!

Honda element

I really love and feel safe in my element. Things I would change: back windows would come down, dash lights would be brighter in daytime, I would have a skyroof in front (it is in back), and wish it were a little better on gas mileage but, hey, it's an suv. I call her my snub-nosed lil cutie

Don't know why Honda dropped the line. Put a turbo it or a V-6 . 300 horses all wheel drive find a traffic light and a wrx see ya subie you lost to a shoe box.hey I might be 65 but It's a 60's muscle car guy trapped in the 2000's.

It keeps going and going

The truck gets o.k. mileage has decent power. A performance chip helps. It's great in the snow, with AT type tires. OEM tires don't cut it in anything but dry roads. The trans shifts are smooth annd predictable. Take out the back seats and you have a mini pick up.I love the thing, put a turbo on the motor like the civic has vaaaroom.

Keeps going and going.

With KIA making money on the sol why Honda gave up on the Element is beyond me. The Element is a much better truck than the Sol . Bigger inside,all wheel drive, more ground clearance, the rear seats come out.All it needed was turbo as an option.

Would definitely buy again.

Our Element is 14 years old and we have owned it for 12 years. This has been an extremely reliable vehicle for us. We hope to drive it another 100,000 miles and 10 years. We originally bought the Element because we like to camp. The seat fabric and rubber mats, instead of carpet, make it easy to keep clean. We can get all our camping gear and modular kayak inside. There no visible rust on it. The engine has plenty of power for a 4 cylinder. It does a decent job in Michigan winters for being only a front wheel drive. It isn't a luxury vehicle but if you are looking for basic, reliable transportation at a good value, this is it.

The Honda Element why did they stop?

The Honda Element is an example of a very Advanced designs for a vehicle that can do lots of things for an active lifestyle, camping, biking and watersports. It filled so many niches and yet the sales decreased and Honda stop making it. If you have one maintain it and if you want one or I will maintain one and keep it forever. I upgraded the seats in mine and now they're much more comfortable.
