[quote:e88e9a6edc="EforMe"]Need some opinions from current element owners. I've checked out the E and really love it's utilitarian design. However, I was also considering the Pilot or Odyssey. Need more room for hauling stuff and taking trips in comfort. Have a 98 CRV and like it but it seems much smaller on the inside than the E. I'd love to save $10k buying the E vs the Pilot or Odyssey. Will I be happy?
Thanks - great forum[/quote:e88e9a6edc]
I am not sure if you would like the Element more than the Pilot. The Pilot has a much larger engine, and 240 HP and is more sophisticated over all. If you don't mind spending the extra money, get the Pilot. If you do mind spending the extra money for the Pilot, than certainly the E will make most people very happy.
However, I don't think that the Pilot is $10,000 more than the Element. A 4WD EX Element is about $21,000. The Pilot is about $27,000.
