Back in a manual Honda!?
Picked this up on Monday on a whim. It's a 2004 Element EX 5MT 2WD aka the "Boxy CR-V". Not a lot of impressions yet except that it doesn't feel at all like a 15 year old car with 211k miles on it. Bought it from the original owner who replaced it with another orange Element (automatic 08 with lower miles). No real plans for it, I just always thought they were neat, probably just use it for camping trips and other mess making adventures. The PO put a lot of money into getting the suspension sorted and it shows, it rides very flat and has no squeaks or rattles. Overall he took excellent care of it and I am very happy with the condition of it, although it could use a good cleaning inside.
Fun Fact: The Element has an almost identical footprint to our Golf R, within 1" on length and width. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...de23fe563f.png Hey Look, I found a friend!

awesome, I always liked them, and I wished they still produced them, very cool, tons of interior space and very practical.

I always liked the Element. Utility done right.

Love them. A coworker has one, just spent a bunch of money getting the engine and transmission fixed up. Now it runs like new and he'll never sell it.
