I had considered buying an Element a few months ago and I was drawn to it because of it's practicality, affordability, and Honda's known reliability.

If it were made by someone else, I would probably still like it, but depending on who it was made by, I might or might not want to buy it.

I know a guy who got his Element stuck in the snow last week. But with that car-like ground clearance...it should be common sense to stay away from too much of the tall stuff...

I liked the Elements the first week or so they came out. Then I sat in one and realized the back windows don't roll down. Then they became more and more common. Now they're just another ho-hum car on the road.

I had planned to buy an orange one but the Mrs nixed it. I thought it would be a rare color. Now I see them all the time..hardly any green ones though.

Enjoy!!

I'd rock one in sunset orange, but only with with color-matched plastic panels/grille, lowered on a set of 19" gunmetal Volks.

I think it's funny that the target market was missed by 10 - 20 years. Auto Week took one to a highschool and NONE of the kids thought it was cool.
