Had an Element before and knew what I was getting. I love the style, color, versatility and ability to carry my toys ( bikes, skis, etc). It is a shame that Honda discontinued the Element but happy to find a classic one in good condition. Jun 06, 2023

This is the most convenient car I’ve owned in my 60 years. Easy to clean, decent handling, spacious, dog loves it and well built. It may be a breadbox, but it is awesome!Dec 08, 2022

Its exactly what Im looking for. I will be flat towing it behind my rv with all 4 down. With the back seats up in the side position there is plenty of room for my dog. I put a pet barrier up so my dog is unable to get up in the front. The only thing I dont like is the side back windows are only pop out and dont roll down. This is not good for my dog as she likes putting her head out the window. Probably not good for passengers either. The AWD is awesome! I have taken her off road and handles very well in sand. Ive seen reviews were it does very well in snow as well.Jan 30, 2022
