I picked my element up last week, was not really even looking for a car and ended up test driving this one and liking it very much. I've read a lot of people complaint about the road noise and bumpy suspension but don't feel that is an issue at all. I was mostly sold on how practical and spacious the car is. I plan on taking it on my snowboarding trips and really hope that it performs well in the snow as I have heard it does. Considering that it is a 4-cyl engine I am very surprised honda has not found a way to increase the fuel economy on this car. It is a box but it handles like a car, I had no problem adjusting to the driving coming over from a civic coupe. I'm sure much like other hondas this one will be a reliable car. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a beach car, camping car, road trip car or even an everyday commuter.
