2005 Honda Element EX review from North America
"I cannot publish my opinion of this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front end collision, estimated speed less than 15 mph. The whole front end buckled, transmission cracked, engine mounts broken. Air bags did not deploy.
Damage estimate over $10,000! Insurance would not total a new Element with only 7500 miles. Still in the repair shop, 40 days and counting...
