2006 Honda Element Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I own a 06 Honda element ex manual transmission 290,000 miles. It’s a great car, but it would have been better as a hybrid and have the back windows to go down, plus it has a bit of an issue with blind spots. I don’t know what to replace it with. I love the versatility of it and it is great for travel.

I thought the Honda was very clean & in top condition. I felt the price was a little high, but the mileage was low. The reason I didn’t jump on it was the fact that it was FWD. I live in snow country & I felt a AWD would work better. I purchased a Nissan Rogue in 2016 FWD and it was not as good as my Jeep Liberty with 4WD.

I love everything about my car. If I were buying another car today, I would by another Element, without a doubt. It handles well on the road and is so much fun to drive. It has the roomiest back seat I have ever seen.

I like the size , the storage space and 4wheel drive. It’s a Honda. It’s worth the $. I don’t know what it’s missing. I haven’t driven it yet. If I had to compare it to another model, it would probably be the Subaru Forester or Toyota Rav-4

As I mentioned in the pros/cons section, I loved my Element! But had to part with it because of my growing family. It's a do-all vehicle with rock solid reliability. The back seats easily fold up to the sides and out of the way or come out completely out. Unfortunately the seats are what ended it's stay with us...I wish they could have made provisions for a center seat belt position. The plastic interior makes for easy cleaning and when the kids spill their juice box you don't have to worry about stains. The gas mileage and horse power could have been better. Leg room for the back seat was quite impressive, even tall adults can stretch out and nap with the reclining seats. The all wheel drive tore through the snow, it's not something you're going to take mudding or even on mild off roading though. Ground clearance won't allow too much craziness.

The ltimate road trip vehicle. The suicide doors are very sexy. Mine Is tangerine orange inside and out. I absolute love it and wouldnt trade it for anything.. except maybe a newer one! Good Gas mileage and it handles like a dream!

Great features for traveling, roomy and great gas. I like the suicide doors and trunk. Long lasting car compared to the other escalade I was looking at. I think the value is about right. Depending how it was taken care of as far as maintenance.

I have owned two elements and am looking for my third. The first I sold to my business, then I tried being car-less. I’m wanting one for camping and errands. They go for ever and are so versatile!

it is a basic vehicle + 4WD if you get that option. If you have large breed dog or just dogs it is perfect you can just hose out the mess. lol, it is not fuel friendly , if the transmission & engine have been & are properly maintained you should hit the 300,000 mile mark with in the life of this vehicle

I love this car for its laid-back and versatile use. It has been a wonderful, dependable vehicle. It is inexpensive to have dealer work done on it. Very adaptable and if you enjoy a vehicle with lots of uses, this is it. I once loaded a wall oven in the back of it, not just any vehicle can do this. The back seats fold up or are removable for lots of cargo space.

Long lasting, efficient, practical and economical. Not to mention how spacious.

Exactly what I need rather than what I WANT. Extraoridinarily low maintenance and good MPG for something shaped like an ice cream truck. (27 mpg.) The dogs like it. Road noise at highway speeds high. Rear seats fold flat against sides of vehicle yielding a very tall and relatively deep cargo area.

This is perhaps the most spacious vehicle of its size as well as having far better performace than a passerby would ever think.

This car is very spacious and very versatile, easy to drive and still compact enough to get around in tight spots

its sooo practical. It could use 50 more hp brakes fine sketchy in corners. rattles a bit over bumps. Modest appearance. 23 mpg 5000 mile oil changes. not fun to drive. fun to pack though. no problems with the car.
