I haven't had the need to transport many big items in the Element lately, but tonight brought up a good opportunity. And, I just had to post about it. We are expecting another good winter here soon in the Midwest and we just picked up a snow blower tonight. This isn't a small snow blower, either. It's a BIG one for our BIG driveway. JuliE took one of the seats out and met me at work with the E. That left me with only one daughter to transport so we took the other seat out and I left it at work.
With both seats out, there is SO much room back there. The guy who helped me load up the fully-assembled snow blower said he was shocked when I pulled up. He had no idea that there was so much space back there. He and I easily loaded it up and closed the back.
If you are looking at SUV's and unsure about the Element, carefully think about the times you may need to transport something. No CR-V is going to do what we did tonight. The Element is a great, capable utility vehicle and I'm still very happy we have ours more than 5 years after the initial purchase.
