I am a 68 year old retiree who needed a vehicle just to haul my bikes (inside) and grandkids. I usually haul a bike about every where I go, around Florida, or across the country to Colorado in summer. I've had Ford Explorers, and they are fine, but really needed something a tad taller in the cargo area. Explorers use too much fuel also. A mini van would work OK for me, but are larger than what I need. And take up more of my garage space than I like. I have observed Elements for several years, and just finally decided this "funky" simple reliable (relatively cheap) vehicle is just what I needed for my use. Having other vehicles with most of the "bells and whistles", the 2WD EX had all the options I need. Only complaint is the light colored interior of our PMM model. But I can keep it clean enough. So far am loving how this thing drives and serves my needs. It will not be a garage queen, I plan to use it.
