hi folks,
back in the Element fold. TRP color EX 4WD with Navi.....finding a navi equipped Element is like locating a winter coat in August...they did a 7 state search and there was one...fortunately, it was the color we wanted...
we had an '04 Blue EX 4WD that we had for 4 years....when the lease was up, we bought a Porsche Cayenne S...wow, what an incredibly fun ride that is. Problem is, the warranty is up so it has to go....that SUV was designed by Rube Goldberg...so over engineered with technology, it's been in the shop as much as in our garage with numeous electronic/module problems.
it was time to get back to a funky, usable, RELIABLE ride, and that can only mean an Element..the navigation with backup camera and iPod control built in is very sweet.
the only downside...we can't get the 5 speed as we had before...an AT is not driving a car....you're just along for the ride! Oh well, I remember in 2004, MT accounted for only 5% of Element sales, and I'm sure that percentage went down over the years..
great info. on this site, and I'm glad to be back..there are a bunch of rabid, loyal owners out there...great to see.
Jeff
