05 Element. Heavenly — The Element is the best vehicle that I have ever owned! It is so unique. Roomy and fun. Incredible versatility with the seats, waterproof upholstery, good gas mileage. A cranking stereo system and a moonroof in the rear. I guess you can flip all the seats down and camp out in it under the stars and see them from the moonroof. And with AWD, surefootedness on the roads when it counts! It's so sexy too!

I <3 My Element — i've had this thing for 2.5 years now and i love it. it is lots bigger inside than you could imagine until you try it out. it's pretty sporty to drive for a box with wheels. i like taking the seats out and filling it up with my junk. i can fit skis in there easily. love it | ||

2005 Honda Element EX AWD Review
ProsIt is a unique little SUV. AWD. Better fuel economy than many SUVs. Rear seats are removable and interior is designed for outdoor and water sports. ConsQuirky handling. 5 speed should be a 6 speed manual. Beyond 70 mph fuel consumption drops. Weight distribution too much to rear causing front wheel spin on an incline. AWD should start out as RWD engaging front as needed instead of starting out as FWD. Makes a funny noise in reverse and gearing can be a bit jerky.

Good For Many But Limited For Some. — I like the styling and unique design accents. Rear passenger doors take some getting used to because they open in the opposite direction. Good sound system on EX. Automatic transmission is preferable for this vehicle. Seats 4 but good room for cargo. Highway manners are lacking. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

Very Utilitarian — It works perfectly for me as I use it for commuting and also for construction work I do on the side. Holds a suprising amount of tools or my golf equipment and buddies on road trips, or for any trade, and it's easy to clean. Best overall car for my needs. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Great Car For Hauling Friends And Pulling The Boat To The Lake With The Dog In The Back. — Awesome car with moderate power, and decent gas mileage, with plenty of cargo space.

We Love Our Element! : ) — We love our E. We just bought it off our lease and plan on keeping it for a long time. It is perfect for us. It is fun to drive, gets good gas mileage, and it reliable. I love the fact it has a tailgate to sit on when we go camping. Great for hauling stuff from Home Depot, taking the dogs for a ride, and even going on long trips with. There is generous leg room in both the front and back. My husband has named it Elton. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsTons of cargo space. Lots of utility. Easy to clean. Fenders won't ever rust. Maintenance cost is super, super low & reliability extremely high. ConsMPG isn't stellar. It's a little weak in power.

Truly An All-purpose, Simple Utility Vehicle — Folding the rear seats up takes 5 seconds. Once folded up, there's a wealth of space, and it's FLAT. I've put so much in this vehicle: bicycles (without removing seats or front wheels), snow blower, full-size refrigerator, 4x10 sheets of drywall, concrete mixer, 7' Christmas tree, 20 bags of ready -mix concrete... list keeps going and going. |
