I just returned from a trip from Michigan to Delaware. The Element was just a delight in every way. I packed it with a huge suitcase, large-frame mountain bike, music stand, bag of music, bag of overnight clothes (because I made it to MD the first night and did the last bit the next day), my floor harp, a bag of food, a small cooler, and a bag of beach stuff. I didn't even use the front seat. When I got to MD, we added my brother's suitcase, some groceries he had bought, and a bunch of his shirts. We could've fit more in. That car is amazing. The ride is very nice and comfy, the sound system is good, the fact that I could plug in my mp3 player was great, and the air-conditioning worked just fine. It was a very comfortable trip.

I keep liking this car more and more.

What, no pants?

Sounds like an awesome trip. If you have any pics of all that stuff stuffed in your E you should post them on the "What have you stuffed in your Element" thread.

LOL....the pants were in his suitcase. I wish I would've taken a picture. I didn't. That's the second time I had it stuffed with stuff and didn't take a picture. Next time for SURE!

I'm going up there for an appointment today and will drive right by Cawood. As I cruise by, I always scope out the E's on the lot. I haven't seen too many lately. I bought mine used from Fox Automotive in Rochester Hills this past March. I needed it fast as my Subie Outback bit the dust suddenly. I got lucky though -- this is a really great car. I just love the reliability and the whole car just ROCKS.

when I decided I wanted an element (my civic was totaled) my boundry was Michigan. They had what I was looking for and it was done all over the phone and then they delivered it the next day. It was great service until after the sale It was certified and the maint. should have been up to date but it wasnt. They blew it off. But thats a risk I took buying it over the phone but I thought I was safe with it being certified. Not with Cawood. Other then that, I am jealous, I havent taken it out of TC since I bought it (8 months ago) but I do drive over 400 miles a week and I love this vehicle Winter is a blast

That's good to know about Cawood. I knew nothing about them, but now I never will because I won't buy from them....ever. That's just tacky what they did.
