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!

Pros — Roominess, MPG, versatility.
Cons — NONE

I've packed in 3 bikes and 3 people inside - its amazing how versatile this car is.  Super easy to clean, maintenance has been hassle free.

Pros — Reliable, comfortable, versatile.
Cons — Looks like a toolbox on wheels - takes a while to get used to it.

Carries a lot of crap, including people. Has a large stage for the hula girl. Passengers in the back can see their lives flash before their eyes with much more clarity than most back seats.

Can make it up my driveway, even in the rain.

Gets poor gas mileage - big square block going down the road. Kind of slow.

It's roomy. Great for camping and beach going. I do love the beach...but still...it eats gas up. Deffinately not my dream car.

Pros — Roomy, AWD, good sound system
Cons — Gas eater, appearance, just not me.

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

Pros — AWD, interior size, functional
Cons — speed, crosswinds suck

Reviewing: 2005 Used Honda Element EX

I bought this as A second car to tow behind my motor home (4 wheels down) @ was told by dealer this would be no problem, now I find out I can only go 55 mph , that is not even the speed limit on the interstates. this does present A real problem and I cannot get anyone to say why or what will be the problem if I exceed this limint

Pros — seats comfortable,handles good on the highway,cross winds do not bother it ,good breaking, good rear entrance at tailgate
Cons — blind spot in drivers outside mirror, hard to enter or exit rear seats,everything slides all over in side because of flooring. poor city millage (16mpg)
