Very reliable vehicle...low maintenance and very versatile rear seats for hauling various things. Rear "suicide" doors are somewhat awkward in parking lots..city mileage 20mpg with 5 spd manual trans.

This is the 7th Honda I have owned. I was curious about the Element when they first came out and was glad to finally purchase a used one with a manual "yeah!" and 100k on it. Of course it has been flawless since I have owned it. So many possible ways to use this vehicle. As a competitive triathlete I am looking forward to this summer and using it for fun weekends. I am going to keep up on the maintenance and do a big service here in the spring (plugs, fluids, etc.). As long as I take care of it, the E should go another 100k for me easy. The skylight is way cool! Stereo is more than adequate and iPod friendly. I might even go camping with my son and sleep on the seats that make beds!

AWD extremely poor

Love the vehbicle EXCEPT FOR an AWD system that doesn't cut it. With no locking differential, I find the vehicle has very poor traction on wet or snow covered surfaces that permit diagonal front & rear whels to lose traction. For me, this happened far to often. There is also an issue with windshield cracks that is not acknowledged or backed up by Honda. Ground clearance is also too low for off road use. Gas tank is vulnerable.
Hated it.

Liked the interior easy to clean (with pets). Hate everything else. Terrible gas mileage (EX AWD, Manual Transmission) drove like a kite, noisy interior, not enough seats for a family, the doors are a major PITA! Put 275K miles on it, but the last 10k the car started falling apart like a cartoon. Could not keep up with the repairs. By the time I made it to a dealer to trade it in, I think I handed over the steering wheel, drivers seat, and my broken FOB. Ever since we bought this, I wanted to get rid of it, but it wouldn't die! 16 years later, I finally could rid myself of this stupid, ugly automobile.

Verasatility is the main benefit to buying a Honda Element. The interior is roomy and functional. And you can do so much. Haul people, haul stuff, haul people and stuff. An amazing array of interior configurations. Outwardly, the car has a cool retro look. It's well made. Affordably priced. And amazing;y versatile. Did I say that already?
