2007 Honda Element Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

I like being able to have a larger cargo area by completely removing both back seats. This allows me to carry all equipment needed for my art shows without having to put items on top of the car. The comfortable front seats and plenty of legroom make it comfortable to ride in. I appreciate its reliability and it is easy to take it in for maintenance. It gets decent gas mileage for what I use it for.

There is lots of space inside, including for leg room or storing or transporting things in the back of the vehicle. It is also a long-lasting and dependable vehicle. Also it drives fairly nicely as well.

Size, appearance, storage capacity, easy to clean, good visibility, great for camping and road trips. It feels very safe to drive and it is lasted a really long time even with over 100k miles on it. It is a great car if you need to commute with a lot of luggage, or if you have young kids that need strollers or car seats to be transported.

I really do not care much for the suicide doors. I find them cumbersome to deal with. My preference for the back door would be to have to swing open like the CR-V I owned previous to this one - maybe have the glass pop up and the lower half swing out.

It is not a very attractive shape or style on the outside. The back passenger windows do not roll down. It is lacking a lot of features that newer cars have, such as seat warmers or Bluetooth radio capacities.

It has weak brakes that require frequent repairs and it does not have very good shock absorption so it is bumpy and loud to drive. When the back seats are up the visibility is diminished and you have to rely on mirrors more than the windows to see. It is heavy, so acceleration can be a problem on highways.
