"Jeep quality from Honda"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing yet - it's brand new.

General comments?

I have few comments about build quality of Honda Element. It's very poor. Plastic panels don't fit well and feel cheap. The interior feels like it won't hold very well and is easy to scratch/break. Dashboard is well designed and simple, but poorly fitted. The back seat is short and low to the floor, very uncompfortable on long drives. Seats materials are cheap and bit too soft, will probably get softer with time.

Ugly bar under the car to protect the gas tank. The whole car feels like it is cheaply built. CR-V would be better choice, but we wanted something more interesting.

I decided to keep my VW and not sell it.

I just bought an Element 48 hours ago. It is sitting in my driveway and won't start. It's been that way for 24hrs. I have had to use my 1994 Jetta to get us around. Go figure.
