2006 Honda Element EX-P AWD Review

Swiss Army Knife Of Cars — This car hits the sweet spot for me, One of the drop down questions on this survey is "What did you mainly use this car for?"...I could check all of the options (commuting to work, family transportation, recreation, and utility)...that's what makes this car so nice. Commute to work -easy to park, great stereo, excellent visibility, better than Truck/Large SUV gas mileage, drives fine at 75, kick ass stereo Recreation -throw bikes in the back, day at the beach (no sand in the carpet), Camping, Kids games Around the House - Hauls to the Dump, Runs to Home Depot, picking up large items at garage sales/craigs list, pets to the vet There's nothing like it on the road today, for a niche car it definetly does many things very well. The ride is harsher and there is more outside noise than my 04 Camry, but these shortcomings are a result of the functional design.

My Element — This car/ small SUV is perfect for us, especially with all of the space that it has inside. The negative is that it only seats 4, but we don't need anymore than that. I would recommend it to anyone looking to buy a small SUV especially an import like Honda or Toyota. | ||

2006 Honda Element EX Review
ProsSo much room! We have literally carried a washer and dryer (in the boxed) home from the appliance store in the back. ConsBack doors are a little inconvenient when getting out of the back seat in a parking lot (but great when you have lots of room). 
55
One Of The Best! — We have had this car for about 3 years now. It has been nothing but reliable. We have had standard things done to it, and it is plugging away. There is hardly any need to own a truck when you have an Element, and when you don't need to carry anything around with you it very comfortable to ride in. Defiantly not a luxury vehicle, but has everything to make it enjoyable for long road trips or to go down the block to the market. When people ask us if we like our Element, there is not hesitation and we say "absolutely, would trade it for a million years"! Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

I Love Being In My Element. — I can honestly haul as much as I ever hauled in my old F150 with this thing. The mileage is substantially better. It's a quirky little car, but it's built well. Built in aux jack and two DC outlets, as well as rubberized flooring and an incredible amount of passenger leg room makes this car a pleasure to own. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

2006 Honda Element EX-P AWD Review
ProsCar is huge inside and because it doesn't have carpets, it's easy to clean. Clamshell is awesome because everything is out of the way for loading and it's low enough that I don't have to struggle to put things in the back. With rear seats removed, you can carry just about anything in it! The back fits a full size air mattress perfectly. Great for camping. When the back is full, I can open the side doors and with the front seats moved forward, I can load even more into the car. ConsHanging rear seats off the sides of the car interferes with visibility too much. I prefer to just remove them and keep them in the house.

Safe, Comfortable, Roomy, Utilitarian. — The Honda Element is like a combination truck/car. Carry furniture, go camping, go out for dinner. It's the perfect car for people who don't want both a passenger car and a truck, but prefer a combination of the two. | ||

2006 Honda Element Review
ProsMy Element is great for my active lifestyle. Spacious, easy to clean interior with many conversion opinions for the cargo area. ConsLimited to only four seats and rear doors require front doors to be open to operate. 
35
A Perfect Match For Active Owners! — Great performance, sturdy enough to handle very harsh driving conditions. Burnt orange in color and unique design, a guaranteed head turner! Love the durable rubber flooring for fast easy clean up with the water hose. Very efficient on fuel consumption and limited repairs. Awesome Bose sound system makes the perfect finish to this super fun to drive and proud to own Honda Element! Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

Great Car. I Plan To Drive It Until It Falls Out In The Street. — I love everything about my car. If I were buying another car today, I would by another Element, without a doubt. It handles well on the road and is so much fun to drive. It has the roomiest back seat I have ever seen. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

2006 Honda Element EX-P AWD Review
ProsCool looking, fun, versatile, dependable, AWD, Sirius XM, steering wheel controls, love the color green! Excellant for taking on big buying trips, can hold a ton of stuff and several large dog crates with gear bags, water jugs, cooler, chairs, on and on! ConsSeats should have been avail in leather or fake leather. It doesnt handle well with much weight in it, windshield is like a fly swatter.

No Frills Ride But Gets It The Job Done In A Very Coool Style. — I love my Ele! Such a cool lil fella. lol It is the PERFECT ride for dog lovers like us! Very useful ride. I love the steering controls for the stereo. We got all the camping gear but dont use it now. Visability is the best! I wish they had put heated leather seats in them. WHY did Honda discontinue this vehicle? It's the most versatile ride out there!!!! Primary Use: Family transportation | ||
