2008 Honda Element EX review from North America
"Versatility at its best"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing wrong so far, as I'm still in Year 1 of the vehicle.
General comments?
This is probably the smartest vehicle purchase I've made. There's so much room and the way the back seats fold down, they allow you to load almost anything back there. With my 4 month old son needing to be taken around, loading him into the car and loading his stroller is sooooo easy. Groceries, work tools, stroller, and wife and kids fit in this car with tons of room to spare. People complain about the lack of power, but it's got enough, if you know what you're getting into (a 4 cylinder, people!). All in all, if you have a small family and/or self-employed consultant (like me), this car is absolutely perfect.
