I love that it is big and spacious. It is very easy to clean and the seats all come out so it makes it easier to load up the car after a shopping trip, or with sports. I also love how much room the back seat has. It makes road trips a lot easier because you can really stretch out your legs.

2010 EX - Best Car Ever!
Best car ever made. No problems - 2010 with 135K miles. I'm original owner and the car stays until the car died or l die; I'll probably go first. Looks almost new and performs about 95% new. Just regular maintenance for 10 years. Now, replaces starter, master cylinder, front and rear stabilizer links and bushings and rear springs and struts. I live in NYC where roads are terrible. Had car undercoated again too. Pretty good for 10 years.

Great vehicle for parents.
It is easy to get in and out of the vehicle, and the best part is that the flooring is not material, but plastic, so it is very easy to clean. The crew cab is convenient for getting larger objects like car seats in and out. The car is surprisingly roomy inside, especially since the rear seats can be folded up.

Honda element is the perfect car for an outdoor enthusiast!
My car is the best because I cannot fold the seats up and camp in it and there is no carpet to have to clean it. I do wish it had a bigger engine so that I could pull a small RV but I still love it. I wish Honda would start making elements in the us again.

I guess how practical it is. From gas mileage to a convertible interior. It's just a flexible practical vehicle.
I like that it is small yet still roomy. I also like that you can change the interior easily to accommodate more riders or large packages. Finally the price was very reasonable.

Honda Element-very versatile.
My Honda is very versatile. I can take the back seats out and have room for cargo or camping. The floors are a heavy rubber matting and are very easy to clean. It handles well in town and on interstates. I had a transmission problem before the warranty was out and Honda fixed it. I would buy another if I could.

It gets great gas mileage.
I so wish that Honda hadn't stopped selling the element. I have own two and well over 125,000 miles on the 1st one. It fits so well with my work. I sell antiques and collectables. I need this amazingly super square, with removable back row seats to have the size and space that I need to pick up items that will not for one minute foot into any of the new SUVs. I am heartbroken that this will most likely be my last "best" vehicle for my needs. P.S the Ford transit wheel base is scary small and no 4 wheel drive and the jeeps have poor reliability records.

Versatile handsome Honda element.
I am very happy with my Honda element. It is capacious and versatile, great for hauling pets and garden supplies and various projects that I work on. It is easy to clean out I have a vinyl interior. The seats fold down and attach to the side which gives me a lot of space for haulage. The car gives me excellent mileage and is an easy car for long trips and local driving. Really, my only criticism with it is the windows in the back pop out instead of roll down, and dogs like windows that roll down. Otherwise everything is great.

Honda has steadily been a good brand to own. It's a shame that they stopped making these. Honda should really consider starting them again because I have many people that inquire about mine. I don't know of any other reliable vehicle that offers the functionality and interior space.
I love my Element. This is the second one that I have owned. It has had almost no issues and keeps going with standard maintenance. The boxy look is cool and the interior provides lots of room to carry various items.

Safety, Maneuverability, repairs
Owned my 2007 element for close to 13 years. Loved everything about it. A person plowed into the passenger's seat and the car is totaled. I wasn't hurt. I am looking to buy another Element. The latest model they make is 2011 and the new ones aren't on the market yet. Bummer

Love the car for its versatility & transformer-like ability to make room to carry loads. Back seats move up & out if necessary. It can be hosed out if necessary... And there was that one time.. It was necessary! The one complaint I have is drivers side front blind spot. Super dangerous and I've had a couple of near hits with it :(
Suicide doors! I.Love. Them. Loading & unloading things (like bales of hay) is super easy when the entire side opens up.

Lots of room for everything
The Honda Element is a great car. It has so much potential space in the back. I have never had a problem fitting bicycles (without removing the wheels) or furniture. It is very basic and easy to clean on the inside. I have only ever had to change the battery and tires. I've driven it a lot and never had any issues.

Not that great.Poor gas mileage and really awkward foods.
The way the back door is open only when the driver or the passenger door is open almost like the pickup truck is so annoying. Also I was hoping that it would get better gas mileage than it does because it is only a v4. But the seats fold up really easily to give a nice little storage space.

The unstoppable little toaster.
My element is really comfortable and looks great inside and out. The compact size heats up really quickly in the winter and cools down quickly in the summer. It has low ground clearance, but it can still get pretty much anywhere you want to go. Nothing can slow us down! After 6 years, I have only had to replace the muffler after it rusted out (due to low ground clearance and it being a year with a lot of snow) and also the door locks went out just recently.

Extremely versatile and I'll never sell it!
Perfect for dog owners. Easy cleanup as no carpets. Roomy enough for cargo. Rear seats fold up out of the way or can be removed altogether. Reliable. Decent mpg. There's nothing to dislike.

Unique one of a kind nobody has one.
I love it or requires little to maintenance. I rarely have to fill up for gas and it is not targeted for break ins. Drives safely and easily. Feels spacious. It attracts attention because it is unique. I have only has it taken in for maintenance twice. I also feel very safe in the car.

Honda Element, the little engine that could.
Great gas mileage, ton of utility. Can basically strip the thing out and make it a mini cargo van if I need to. Kept up with routine maintenance and not a problem at 130k miles and a coast to coast road trip. Perfect for every light duty job. They stopped making these.

Why you should buy a Honda.
Looks good, drives great and is fun to drive! I would recommend this car to everyone. A friend told me about this car and I tried it and it was a perfect fit for me. I like to take trips on the weekend and this is the perfect car for that. I would buy another Honda for my next car.

My Honda element as a multitask vehicle.
The use of my Honda element is multi tasking. From camping trips, transporting animals to vet in crates, to large shopping trips, the room and comfort is like having a truck with a car, and a van's height. Anytime I use it, I am able to load easily odd shaped cargo, as well as have comfortable seating for all passengers.

Great for drivers under 5’, excellent for driving children, clients n pets.
No issues other regular maintenance up keep. Feel safe, ample room in back for passengers, front comfortable, good access to controls, excellent visibility from all windows. Only missing availability to pull down back seats for flat cargo load. Modern look, good gas, quick response when breaking.

Amount of space when need to transfer items from store that contain large boxes.
Vehicle feels too boxy and frigid. Performance is great and care is very reliable for either in town or out of town travel. However, I am not comfortable in the vehicle. There are limited features in our design. I enjoy seats that electronically move and GPS. Mine has neither.

Love the Honda element, wish it was still in production.
No problems that I can think of. I love the reliability of it, the comfortable position for driving as well as being a passenger, and it has really good acceleration. I love how utilitarian this vehicle is, between rubberized floors, suicide doors, and a hatch and seats that fold down allow me to store something up to 10 ft long. I only wish Honda would continue to make newer models because I absolutely love the element, and everyone that I know that also has an element it loves it as well.

My vehicle is a SUV and it is median priced.
My vehicle has been very reliable and has never disappointed me. The mileage is great, and it last long. The performance of the vehicle truly makes it the best value car. Although there are not a lot of features. I would say that the vehicle could be more comfortable and have more space to breath,

It's a 4-seater. So, if you have more than 4 people in your family-this is not the car for you.
I love the dimensions of my car: it's a small SUV- just compact enough to easily park and maneuver around the city streets. I also love the versatility of the car - easy to clean and maintain. I do not like the heavy doors.

5 stars safety features 4 wheel drive. An all weather SUV.
I have had my element for about 4 years. Love the all wheel drive and safety features it has. Also has an amazing sound system which is great for outdoor off-road festivities. I live in New Jersey and my element has survived all our storms including sandy. If I didn't have my element to plow through puddles, I would not have been able to leave as I live in a peninsula town which floods continuously. My element has been a great travel companion and I always feel safe! After having 9 other hunk of junk cars, I splurged for what I really wanted and am greatly satisfied with my car. Not only can you take out the back seats but you can wash and wipe the floors so easily! I am an artist and get great use transporting materials and sculptures with such a spacious interior. And not to mention parallel parking in small spaces because it is the perfect fit. Thanks Honda!

The comfort level of the vehicle is my favorite part.
The Honda element is a great car to have! Spacious cab, with the two back seats being able to fold up gives it a lot more room if you need it. Amazing stereo system. When I was growing up my parents had one, it got up to 330k miles before being sold and still ran really great!

I like that there is no carpeting inside and that the rear seats can be removed.
The Honda element has performed well. It has power on acceleration and has not had any maintenance issues. It is a very functional vehicle that has been reliable. The interior has no carpeting which works well for us using it for cycling, kayaking, camping, etc.

I like the compact size and spacious trunk. It is fun to drive and easy to maneuver. I dislike the slow acceleration going up steep inclines.

So much room in the car!!
My favorite aspect of the car is the huge amount of space available. You can take the seats out or fold them onto the sides of the car to give more room, which makes it great for hauling stuff. It was a lifesaver when moving to go to university. One downside for me is the suicide doors. They are not awful, but they can be a bit of an annoyance, especially when I'm trying to drop someone off in the back, and the front door has to be opened in order for the people in the back to be able to exit the vehicle. Overall though, it's a very comfortable car, with pretty decent gas mileage. I would definitely recommend it to someone, even though they stopped making new versions. Definitely worth it to get a used one.

I really enjoy the versatility of my Honda Element. Its ability to have its back seats removed is incredibly useful. It is also very spacious. However, I wish it had more than just 3 passenger seats - I rarely have enough seats for the amount of people I would like to take with me.
The Honda Element is an incredibly versatile automobile.

Honda element summary. Great cargo space and multi purpose vehicle,
I love the Honda element, overall engine size is good, heat and air are basic, stereo is undersized and needed an upgrade. Seats are missing the captain's chair arms, accessories are becoming increasingly harder to find, ability to fold seats and haul larger objects is the main thing I love about it. Its essentially a covered pick up truck. This is actually my second element, I keep saying its overall about 10% less quality than my original 2003. Doors, suspension, the feeling of driving it is just a bit less in quality overall. I really would hope they would see the value of this market and start making them again.
