what are your feelings on the Element my wife wants one real bad and I totaled her Corolla so tell me what yall got on em.

 

It's U-G-L-Y! They forgot to paint about half of it! (Gray plastic - urgh!)

 

a lot of people think it's ugly. well, i don't think it's pretty, but i don't think it's ugly either. i think it actually looks pretty cool, but that's just my opinion. i think the look fits the car and the car's persona (for lack of a better word) perfectly. by persona i mean that it's incredibly useful and versatile, the engine isn't bad at all, and you can get it with 4WD. it isn't meant to be beautiful, or sleek, and it isn't meant to be like a scion xB for you to customize the shit out of.

 

ditto what he said, and the guy before him

 

oh yeah and the fact that the rear passenger's windows don't roll down but only like push out like an old 89 hatch vent window is dumb

 

The CRV is the same way isn't it?

Well, I drove one of these and I loved it. The interior is really spacious and well designed. The EX has a great stereo for a stock system. Only the 4wd comes with the rear skylight though. The gas mileage isn't very good. I've seen some great elements, but I hate the gas mileage: 24mpg. The engine has great power and a good amount of torque. It'll get you up the hills. If possible, get an EX 2WD and custom order it with a skylight. The seats can be detatched and hung up in the interior on these hooks or just left out of the car. Elements are good, and I've seen a few great ones. You can paint the fender trim and it looks AWESOME.

 

i got one in november. and to be blunt, i love it. very roomy, very usefull, and just all around a fun SUV.

 

There has been very few problems here with them. The main thing I don't like is the big blind spot in the front at the a-pillar. I am scared my wife would run someone over.

 

i kinda like it and kinda hate. i see it as a bigger version of the scion and the windows in the back that don't roll down are :ghey:

 

My dad got an element and I think it rocks with the brushe grill

(my car in back)
