Just took an on line Honday surver. Pretty interesting, dedicated strictly to the Element. Wanted to know what they should add (auto rear windows), how I liked the exterior, why I bought, etc. Put me in a drawing for $100.00. Anyone else contacted by Honday for that survey?

Yeah, I took it Saturday. I mentioned it up in the "Dear Honda" section. Interesting what issues they asked about. They have a lot of interest in the very issues that are discussed here. Suicide doors, painted panels, location of the moonroof, wipedown floors. I thought it was a great poll and it really got to the heart of the issues surrounding the Element.

My biggest complaint was I thought that they should have a wider spread on the roof rack mounting points, or make it adjustable. I think that 28" is just too narrow. And yes, I actually consider the size and functionality of the roof rack when I consider what car to buy (also: can I sleep in the back with some degree of comfort) Element was a big winner on that one
