Inside very easy to maintain. Cleans easily. I love the way it rides and the amount of room there is in the back seats. I love the conversions it will do. The only con is the amount of weight that can be carried or towed.
Great space, great mileage, easy to maintain, good sound system, easy to clean, great for camping. The back seats fold up and back different ways to accommodate anything you need to transport. Lots of legroom in the back.
The way the doors open is a huge benefit. The side doors opposite each other. This allows for very easy loading and unloading. The deck is also low. The back seats fold flat and then fold up and lock out of the way or remove completely. It is a great SUV for dog owners and for camping. I have camped inside mine many times.
Lots of cargo space, good gas mileage, good sound system, smooth ride, reverse swinging back passenger doors are unique and make for a nice changing room feature, split back door makes it nice to load groceries and other items in without the risk of them falling out.
The amount of weight that can be carried or towed. The seats tore too easily. The back seats sit high and you have to bend down if you are an adult to see through the windshield. I do not think I have enough cons to create enough text for this question. I love my element and would buy another if they were still making them.
The backwards doors make it a little difficult open in parking lots, brake lights and turn indicators are a little hard to change on own, headlights are tricky to change as well, while easy to clean the floors can be slick and slippery when wet.
It does not get the best gas mileage. It is a 5 speed 4 cylinder and only gets 25 mpg with no extra load. Also it has absolutely no towing capacity. I had a hitch installed in hopes of pulling a small RV then discovered it is not powerful enough to pull one.
Reverse swinging passenger doors make it difficult to open and load in a tight parking space situation, middle console unit is wide and makes it easy to lose items down the side of the seat, only four total seats.
The 2006 Honda Element has an average owner rating of 4.32 out of 5 which ranks it #7 of 19 other Compact SUVs.
