I'm not the target for the Element since I'm 54 but I find it hard to want to change it. I do like the idea of a console with storage and an arm rest for the passenger. :P

What's this "near perfect"? I have ten years on you and feel the thing is perfect. Must be a maturity thing.

I have five years on you and yes, the E is nearly perfect. There are after market consoles (or were) at target that work well for storage and as driver and passenger arm rests. One of the fun things about the E is making it work exactly the way you want it to function. There are numerous threads about how others have added to the interior utility. Great fun.

I'm 50 and this is by far the most fun I have had with a car. I think Honda has caught on to the Harley thing. Accessorize!!! I have added about $1500.00 worth of doodads in 1 month alone.
