I purchased a blue 5 speed element last month and love it. I park it next to my lexus! I think I like it better. :lol:
Some things I like about the E:
The unusual shape
The quality of Honda
The handling
The acceleration-this is why I purchased the 5 speed (3 plus seconds faster 0-60)
The room-head, shoulder, back (My son is 6-8 and has plenty of room to spare...better than any SUV we looked at)
The weight of the vehicle.
The doors!
Some things I am not sure about yet or I think should be changed.
The ride could be a bit softer although it improves with added weight.
The basic element should at least include a radio, clock and air conditioning.
I paid $14,995 base price added air for $1,300 and an arm rest for $120
I purchased my vehicle at Fischer Honda in Boulder Colorado. Great Place!
