2008 Honda Element Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I love that its so easy to keep looking nice, and that it can haul anything. And that it is a Honda, so you know its reliable and well made. I also love the color - it is awesome looking. And the face that there are so many things you can do with it - its so versatile. From the tailgating canopy, to the dog fans, to the tire cover that converts to a table, and extra power outlets... there isn't much you can't do with it!

I love everything about the inside of the car. All the seat configurations make hauling things easy. And the back seats are cool because it is like theater seating and you can see over the people in front and also have plenty of leg room.

Reliable car with lots of space. It’s the epitome of a Southern California surf/beach car. Easy to clean and not a lot of pieces to hassle with or break.

Ive owned the Honda Pilot, Honda Civic and now the Honda Element. By far, this is the funnest car Ive ever owned. In 2024, finding one with low miles and mint condition was a unicorn. And Im sure Elements will become more and more scarce in the future, since they were last discontinued production in 2011. The interior space of this car is huge for its size, water resistant floor, and the seats fold and adjust in so many ways - its just too much to explain here. Look it up on YouTube. It runs like a beauty for a 4 cylinder and shifts buttery smooth. The exterior is, nothing like in the market right now. The Element is, hands down... the swiss knife of SUVs.

Incredible versatility. With the massive interior volume, flip-up/removable rear seats, hatch/tailgate combo, and other clever design features, this car is super underrated and currently no other modern SUV is remotely similar. You can haul just about anything, or even camp out in it (since the seats can fold into a bed), and since its a Honda, you know itll last a really long time with basic maintenance. Im kind of sad it took me this long to realize what gems these are.

I love this vehicle. Its unique looks & design make it functional and fun to operate. It's great in the mountains and at the seashore. Power is adequate when passing at higher altitudes and handling is quick and responsive. Stadium seating allows for good visibility for rear seated passengers which is important for those folks suffering from car sickness. The rear seats are simple to remove & install which allows for a smooth deck when loading cargo. No repairs have been required and scheduled maintenance is minimal. Since this is my 2nd Element I would not hesitate recommending it to a friend or relative.

Great Utility vehicle for those who arent planning to drive to Kilomanjaro. Solid Fuel Economy, Amazing handling for a chassis thats 3000 lbs and as aerodynamically challenged as this. Headroom is awesome, as is rear passenger space. Can fit 4 6-footers in this baby with no complaints. Only knock I can think of isnt really a knock - The shape and design is not for everyone. It's truly a love it or hate it car.

The whole concept of ruff and ready rubber mats seats moving up and out of the way all lends it's self to an owner who is very active, physical, camping, canoeing, biking, and a dog owner. Even the seats are washable for muddy paws.

I liked the fact it is easy to clean, it does not have carpet so you can pick up or even take out back seats and drive your dog, equipment..etc with you. very convenient feature. Has great visibility, feels like you are above the road.

Element by Honda is a wonderful car ever made. Its a shame they quit making them.
