What Owners are Saying About the 2005 Honda Element
"Best car ever"
"Love my Element...second one I’ve owned. It has so much room and a lot of pep. Didn’t think I’d like a boxy vehicle, but the inside will convince you. Too bad they don’t make them anymore:("
"Toaster not for sale"
"Every day I drive this car I am in love with it. It's the most reliable car I have owned. Its not fast but it gets decent gas mileage. Its not big but it is able to hold a lot of stuff. I have owned a Prelude, Civic and Integra and this is the best so far."
"Cant believe Honda stopped producing this vehicle"
"The 2010 Honda Element I own still performs like a brand new honda vehicle. The Element offers so much space and versatility while it seems like it drives itself. The 4 cylinder Vtech 2.4 liter engine allows for a enough power for a 4 and gives you the proper amount of acceleration on the highway when needed. Don't let the highway sherrifs know.. but my drive at 100mph on the freeway was still smooth and controllable. Feels like you only going 65mph at that speed. The side doors offer you almost full access to the entire vehicle, not only making this a versatile road trip vehicle, but a great vehicle for small business owners that want versatility and cargo maximization. The boxy cabin give you great views and tremendous space freedom! I plan on adding larger mud tires, roof, rack, to make this a little more rugged to take on road trips. I nicknamed the care the "party bus" added touch screen apple car play system that also enhance the sound from the speakers. The car is a great value and the value appears to stay strong on the used car market. Honda, please make a new version of the Element!!!"
