Hildy

My Hildegard (Hildy) is just 13 years old. You would think she had an attitude of a teenager, but she is the nicest, sweetest girl I know. My son is a mechanic and has taught me ways to keep her healthy, which I appreciate to no end. I love Hildy and can see me keeping her around for many more happy healthy years.

Love my Honda Element

I wish Honda still manufactured the Element--Best Car Ever! Maybe if all the Honda Element owners would petition Honda, they would start to made them again! Meanwhile, I will continue taking my Element to Buchanan's.

Keeps going and going

Bought my Element new in January 2006. It is my daily driver. 263,00 miles and 14 years later, still running like a champ. Engine and manual transmission have never been touched. Sad they quit making them in 2011.

I’m in my Element!

Still love my all wheel drive Element! It has been a great all around vehicle for my family and my businesses. I lost my first one in a double airbag accident and had to have another. The versatility and height to load up flower vases and massage tables and camping gear has made this model my “right hand” car! So sad Honda discontinued this model in 2011. What were they thinking?

Love affair!

Never owned a car that I was in love with. After 3 years it has been extremely reliable and has taken me everywhere I wanted to go without a minute's problem. I wish they had continued making dumb because I would buy another one today.

I love my Element!

I have almost 200,000 miles on my 2006 Honda Element. I love the cargo space and versatility, but most of all I love how sturdy it is. I had a tree fall on it and a tractor trailer roll back into it. Both incidents caused not even a scratch on the car! I wish they still made it and in a hybrid.

The Best I've Ever Had

I have had 17 vehicles in my life. None can come close to this car. I drive from Maryland to Florida twice a year to go surfing. It holds everything I wish to take with me. It has 210,000 miles on it, and it runs like it is new. I got very, very, pissed off when Honda stop making the Element. I will never buy another car from them. I will keep this one FOREVER.

2006 Honda élément

When I got this car i had no idea i was going to enjoy it as much as i do, i loved the room that the Element has from front to rear you and the passengers have plenty of room between each other to give everyone space to move freely. And comfort on any trip is relaxing it's self

Quality Services!

I service children/families in the community island wide. I know that I will get to my destination safely after being serviced by your business. My car has never felt this new/safe for a while. I'm very happy with the results! Thank you for your excellent services!

I love my Element

I have had my Honda Element since 2006. It has been very sturdy and reliable. A tree fell on it, not a scratch. An 18 wheeler rolled back into me, again, not a scratch! It's a great vehicle. I wish Honda would bring it back in a hybrid.

The Best Car in More Than 50 Years of Driving

I have been driving for 53 years. I have owned 17 cars. This car is the best I have ever had. I am so upset that Honda decided not to make it any more. The backseats fold up easily, or can be easily removed.

Small outside, Big inside

This is a deceptive vehicle. It is so large and roomy inside, and has the cargo capacity of a cube van. It is fun to drive, and great for any sporting/outdoor needs. The interior is basically waterproof, so you can hose it out, and the back seats fold into the wall (or can be removed). Great for biking, skiing, or transporting a large dog.

2006 Element EXP

Love this vehicle, it's solid, dependable, fun, and functional. The seating configuration is cool and practical, the way the rear doors and tail gate work are great. I like that the car isn't loaded with tons of unnecessary features. Honda should bring an updated version of this car back into existence.

Reliable and user friendly

I'm a Honda fan since 1989 and this is only my third Honda. After enjoying the rid of an Accord, a Civic, I wanted utilization vehicle. After looking at other Japanese wagons/small SUV's, the dimensions of the Element were appealing to load and haul. The pillerless side doors opened wide and tall. The plastic, vinyl and rubber interior is alot less maintenance and worry. The seat configurations are great. The looks and ride are not going to be appealing for a microvan with for my purposes of moving and hauling yard debris, boxes, furniture, yes, even a trundle bed. It's the only design of this small platform to do it enough before my need of a small pickup. My wife doesn't like the ride being noisy and rough, but agrees its helped alot over the years. AND it's turning radius is UNBELIEVABLE. Honda reliable. It's been my favorite vehicle I've ever owned and I don't see myself ever getting rid of it.

2006 Element EXP

Bought this vehicle used with high mileage, and I've driven it daily for over two years now. It has been very dependable, it's great in the snow, more than capable off road, the seating configurations are both fun, and incredibly useful, overall my Honda has been a pleasure to own and drive.

Wish they still made the Element

Have almost 250,000 miles on it. Love it. Would buy another one if they still made it. My grand children like the raised back seats and sun roof as they can see better. When they were small, it is easy to install and remove their car seats.

2006 Honda Element

This is the best car we have experienced. This standard 5 speed is a delight to drive, It is consistent in mileage, climbs the passes easily. Its 4 wheel drive feature maneuvers through the snow without much difficulty. The stadium seats in the back are comfortable and the fact that they fold up for extra space is a plus. The only reason I did not give a 5 star is due to the road noise. However, that is minor in my overall experience. Sadly, this car is not being made any more. I would certainly by another one if it were possible. P.S. the "red" we have is great. Also, I like being able to say, "I'm in my element." Sometimes simple styling is better than a fancy look.

Element review

I have had my Element for 7 years now and very pleased with it. I love the way I can hook the back seats up and have tons of storage space. It's a very "solid" car that is comfortable to drive and ride in (back seats are elevated so you look over top of front seat passengers). It sits up high enough so can go over most things with out scraping underneath and people with disabilities find it easy to get in and out of. Gas mileage per tank is only drawback--(about 230miles per tank)

Terrific for what it is

This puppy has 150000 miles on it. 2016 and it is our “dog car”. Clam shell rear doors work great for pups. Made many multiple trips from NJ to SC and on to FL. Only negative is 4 cyl. Engine. If they still made them, would buy one in a minute.

Old faithful

Had one for 14 years. 157,000 miles. Didn’t owe me a dime. Hated to let her go. Ability to remove rear seats was a BIG plus. Clamshell doors terrific for dogs. Better gas mileage than advertised although would have love 6 cylinders.
