a buddy has one, th eback seat is roomy and comfy. it's actually higher than the fronts so you can see out the windshield. very cool cars.

I just need a whole lotta hauling space so I've got he Oddy as my big car.

That is an EX. The EX-P has painted side panels. Nice Element. I am a big fan of them.

well the title says ex-p so im just goin by what they say...

i think it gets like 24 miles to a gallon so 386 a tank for 16 or so gallons.

very comfortable.

back seat is nice. they both recline. and you can flatten the back seats and flip them to the sides of they car and they attach with a hook to the oh shit handles at the top so youve got like 8 square feet of cargo space or something to that number. 1500 pound towing capacity so thats neat too, in the event i wanted to tow something.

the element is orange and my s is still red, it lokos funny in the pictures.

fun car and the insurances for full coverage for 6 months was like: $160.00. pretty sweet.

Elements Rock!

Back when I was married, my wife had one. It usually got around 21-23 around town and a little higher on road trips. I miss the Element...

I would probably like the Element a whole lot more if all the body panels were painted. Something about the black plastic just looks very cheap to me.

i just think its fun. i like the panels, i think it makes it look kind of rugged.

its really like...a college car.

college kids designed it to fit the needs of their bracket the most and i think they did an awesome job.

the 'no-carpet' option is also really awesome for when youre taking soaking wet dogs home from the dogpark.

That's everyone's complaint about the car. I don't mind it. The newer ones are now coming with the panels painted.

P stands for painted as in the black panels are painted body color. It is strange that your bill of sale says that. Do you have the window sticker? BTW the EX-P with the painted panels is new for '06. The reason I know so much about this is that we were looking at an EX-P for my wife. It is the only one she would have because she disliked the black panels. I happen to like both styles.

After an event of shopping for shoes you could load up the ones that don't fit into the back of the E on a trailer.
Just remember 1500 pounds towing cap.

Enjoy your new ride.
