2003 Honda Element EX Review
ProsGreat Quality, Super Roomy ConsNeeds armrest on passenger side, Rubber floors
45
My Element — My car runs awesome, it is cute and it is super roomy. The back seats can be folded up and latched onto the side or they can be completely removed, that is Awesome! And...It has a tailgate in the back! Negatives: This year model does not have an armrest on the passenger side, it only has 4 seats (which is usually more than enough), the floors are rubber and must be scrubbed to be cleaned and I now have high mileage!!! Ready for a new one! Other than that, we love it and it is super fun to drive. I would definitely recommend this vehicle to anyone.

ProsComfortable on or off road and leg room ConsFuel capasity and wind noise.

The Toaster — Although a bit pricy off the lot, these vehicles were built for cruising the road! It handles like a dream! It seems velcro'ed to the road in the corners. The amount of leg room in this thing rivals the outdoors. With the built-in subwoofer and AUX input, you can cruise with your iPod from one coast to the other. On the autobahn, it handles very good! I was impressed with its reliability! At higher speeds you will notice some wind noise because of the clamshell doors, but its not that bad. The only thing that I would change is push button 4WD selector. The whole water proof interior is an especially nice addition. This car is just plain fun to drive! It has an awsome turning radius and I have had a number of comments on it by the local germans. They seem to just love the design! | ||

ProsIt is an Element ConsThe acceleration is really bad - there is no power for the size of car it is. 4cyl DOHC is good for a civic but not for this SUV.

Honda Element — Performance (-) No Pickup on acceleration (+) Very good handling and braking (+) 4 wheel drive was especially good in the freak winters Build Quality (+) Good Quality Appearance (-) Looks interior and exterior are purely utilitarian Cost of Ownership (+) Maintenence is easy no problems with the car (-) gas cost for a 4WD is more costly (+) takes regular gas Fun Factor This car has actually been fun to drive, extremely utilitarian, and helped out a lot during moving and helping people move. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

Can You Tell I Love It? — I love this car and it was so hard to find. I rated it ugly because it's not meant to be a pretty car but that's what I love about it. It's reliable and the one time there was something wrong the little lights told me exactly what the trouble was. It's fast too and I actually got a speeding ticket within the first month I got it. It's also so roomy and perfect for camping or long trips. We always have a cooler packed with all our goodies for road trips and the adjusting seats mean you can load anything and everything. The pictures and advertisements about this vehicle don't like and don't do it justice. It's like a cute lil pick-up with more room and a cover. It's also large enogh to be an SUV but compact enough to fit in any parking space. Everyone is always surprised at how roomy it is. | ||

ProsReliability. Cargo space. Maintenance cost. ConsLimited to 4 passengers. Suicide doors clunky for passengers in tight parking spaces.

Honda Element - Capable, Reliable, Useful And Low Cost — I have had the vehicle since new. As of 3/2013 it has 225k miles and going strong. It did suffer from issues common to the Element such as cracked factory windshield, driver door component issues(handle, lock, window parts). Other than that it has put up with wear and tear better than I expected. The cost of ownership has been very reasonable. I would recommend the Honda Element to anyone that has to tote around people, pets and family cargo. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

"the Most Magical Car Ever" — If I was stranded on a desert island with only 1 car for the rest of my life, it would be a Honda Element. You can't beat it's versatility or the over all quality of the Honda Element. They are a great value. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||
