Fast On Their Feet

All departments coordinated inspection/repair etc. without one area slowing another down. Work seemed "choreographed" on my car--without prior appt., and fairly busy customer afternoon.

Excellent utility car

2005 Honda Element still running great at over 295,000 miles. As with every Honda I have owned, do routine service as recommended by Honda, and the car keeps on going. Wish the company would make them again!!! Great car for people with dogs.

Honda Element

I have owned over 35 cars in my life, and my Element is the best one I have ever owned - in every category. Honda's mistake was discontinuing this model.

Excellent and reliable transportation

The Element has been a great car for traveling. It is very roomy (both back seats go up), therefore you are able to pack a lot of stuff in it. It is also very reliable and economical.

Best car ever

My Honda Element is a 2005 and still runs and looks brand new. I can carry almost anything, including a 6 foot long futon and mattress. Actually, I've never bought anything that I couldn't haul in this car. I can also carry 3 20" bikes and 3 kids. or 1-26 Inch bike. A recliner, a China cabinet (fully assembled). Not only do the seats flip up but they also can be removed. Like the title says "Its the best car ever". Pam

Wish Honda still built this little brute.

Purchased new in 2005. Manual transmission, all wheel drive. Best car I have ever owned.

Why aren't these made anymore?

I love my car SO much. I will never let it go. I have 196,000 miles on it and it has kept me safe and sound during two wrecks (1) a woman hopped up on pills pulled out from a stop sign right in front of me 2) a suicidal deer ran into the side of my car one night. I love that it has no carpet and my husband and I can haul the dogs around and not feel like we have to vacuum an entire car because of it. Its great for us because we are both tall and the Element has plenty of head room. The suicide doors can be problematic when you're in tight parking spaces and have folks in the backseat needing to get out. Its a little noisy driving on the interstate, but that all pales in comparison to the awesomeness of this vehicle!! HONDA NEEDS TO BRING THEM BACK!

Excellent styling that will stand the test of time.

Superb!! Good on gas, maintenance cost is affordable, it is reliable, fun to drive, my daughter likes to ride with me, because she can see everywhere while in her car seat at the back. The interior design is lovely, spacious and comfortable.The engine has no transmission issues.

Everything I Want, Nothing I Din't Want

The "Elephant" is my daily driver, beast of burden and dog limo. It's a myth that you can hose it out when it get's dirty, but I do clean it out now and then with a broom. But why bother? It's just gonna get dirty again tomorrow! I usually have the back seats folded down with a tarp and a dog bed over them, but I often fold them up and put a couple bikes in back, or haul a load of brush to the disposal site. I bought mine with a hundred thousand miles on it, and at 116k it runs strong and I'd drive it anywhere. With a five speed manual, it's a blast to drive.

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
