In 50 years, it is the best car I have ever owned.

I have owned 17 cars in my life, and this one is the best. It has over 155,000 miles on it, and it runs like a new car. I wash off the salt in the winter, but I have never waxed it. And it still looks like a new car. I kid you not. The utility factor is important to me. I have driven it from Maryland to the Florida Keys, many times. I can carry my kayak on the roof. I can carry my bicycle in the back. The rear seats can be folded up to the side, or easily removed.

Best and only in class.

Perfect for my active lifestyle here in the great northwest. No carpet = no musty smell. Suicide doors are give or take but the function of the back seats and flooring allow me to do so much in tearms of hauling gear, camping and easy clean up. Awd and 5 speed automatic, nothing else compares. Sad to see them go. Maybe a pnw package for future crvs?

Most Excellent

I have had almost 20 cars in my life, and this one is the best. It fits all my needs. I removed the rear sits a few weeks after I bought it, and that only took me about 10 minutes.

The space!

I traded up from a 2002 accord to a 2006 element. I LOVE IT! Mileage better than I expected for a box on wheels, SO much space for transporting things, high load bearing (almost 2,000 lbs), and so much more. I'd recommend it to ANYONE.

2006 Honda Element - most useful vehicle I've ever owned.

After 50+ years of driving, my Element is easily the most versatile vehicle I've ever had. The removable rear seats gives me a flat surface that can hold 16 bales of pine straw. Clean up takes a couple of minutes with a leaf blower. Even at age 71, I can reinstall the seats in a few more minutes and have comfortable seats with more leg room than mot midsize cars. My only gripe is that they stopped producing the Element because I'd certainly buy another one.

Bring back the Element!

My Element is my favorite car...ever! I cannot say enough good thing about this vehicle, it has everything I wanted in a car. Fun to drive, lots of head room, easy to maintain, easy to clean, lots of space to carry whatever you desire. Comfortable, Quiet, Reliable and FUN!

Love it!

I'm keeping it forever! Great in snow, ice, rough roads. Practical yet stylish (well, I think so at any rate)! One of Honda finer moments of design. Sadly they stopped making it, so I'm keeping this one forever

I am STILL in my Element

Best car ever for me. Have had 3 Alaskan Malamutes curled up sharing the back with both seat backs down. 9 years old and I am not giving it up! Aloha, Momi and The Ash Street Pack

2006 Honda Element

This is the best car we have experienced. This standard 5 speed is a delight to drive, It is consistent in mileage, climbs the passes easily. Its 4 wheel drive feature maneuvers through the snow without much difficulty. The stadium seats in the back are comfortable and the fact that they fold up for extra space is a plus. The only reason I did not give a 5 star is due to the road noise. However, that is minor in my overall experience. Sadly, this car is not being made any more. I would certainly by another one if it were possible. P.S. the "red" we have is great. Also, I like being able to say, "I'm in my element." Sometimes simple styling is better than a fancy look.

Best car.

Sadly, this vehicle is not produced anymore. Of all the cars we have had over the years, this is our favorite. It is a 5 speed, my personal choice, holds the road very well, gets good mileage, crosses the mountain pass with ease, has stadium back seats, and is easy to get in and out. No dropping down to the floor and having to pull yourself out. I call it my "Red Toaster."

Wish they still made the Element

Have almost 250,000 miles on it. Love it. Would buy another one if they still made it. My grand children like the raised back seats and sun roof as they can see better. When they were small, it is easy to install and remove their car seats.

Best Car

I have been driving for almost 50 years. I have had almost 20 different cars, and this one is, by far, the best. After almost 10 years, and 135,000 miles, it still looks almost brand new. It has never failed me.
