It is roomy inside with lots of storage space. Good gas mileage. The floors and seats are easy to clean. The back seats can be removed or collapsed to haul large items. We really like the versatility of this vehicle.
They stopped making this vehicle after 2009 so it is getting older and we cannot buy a new one. That is honestly the only downside since we really love this car. If we could purchase a new one we definitely would.
The 2009 Honda Element has an average owner rating of 4.38 out of 5 which ranks it #5 of 25 other Compact SUVs.
