What's Veeky Forums's opinion on the Honda Element?

mechanically, it's a reskinned CR-V, which is a lifted Civic.
Anyways, Elements are awesome.
Lincoln Nguyen
Extremely based like the ridgeline. i wish Honda would make more quirky functional but subtle cars like them.
Sebastian Mitchell
Fantastic and incredibly useful in a variety of situations. Ugly as fuck though.
Hudson Anderson
the Honda Aztek
Andrew Watson
The doors are inconvenient in a parking lot.
Ryder Young
God why didn't they put a J35 in it
Connor Brown
would ruin the entire car. The engine bay doesn't have the room for it. The K24 they come with is a snug fit as it is.
Jaxon Thomas
Good vehicle for women and men under 5'9"
Jason Perez
plenty of headroom retard
Hunter Barnes
Awesome little car, severely under-rated. AWD and manual available, super functional. Plastic interior can be cleaned easily, seats removed/swung up easily, has absolutely fucking B A S E D suicide doors, and a great little half-tailgate with liftback - the perfect combination.
Would've been great if they weren't so underpowered though, these things are positively S L O W.
Jose Fisher
My friend had one, and we took many roadtrips in it. Very comfy car, with a lot of room for everything. While it only seats 4, you can easily, and comfortably fit 6 people. There is enough room between the seats for 2 people to sit on the floor.
Eh mileage. Slow. Un-Hondaesque interior styling, feels cheap, but is durable.
Too bad they stopped making them, and now they are like 10 years old, so its hard to recommend. not many people take care of these cars.
Isaac Collins
Looking at an '06 with 180k with an asking price of $4500. What do?
Andrew Scott
Buy it nigga. I'm in Onterrible and I can't find a decent one for under $10,000.
Ian Stewart
>these things are positively S L O W.
K20A2 head swap and K-Pro.
Brody Anderson
>bye bye whatever shit mileage it got before, hello V8 mileage
If you wanted to get shit mileage with a small displacement engine you could have considered a rotary
Nathaniel Mitchell
>all those mods on a ridgeline
the transmission literally overheats going up a hill.

Really good example of what you get when you let engineers and designers lead a project instead of accountants and lawyers.
It really did need a bigger engine, though.
Luis Jackson
I think it's cool but it definitely needs more ground clearance for what they intended the purpose to be.
Leo Cook
I've only seen them converted to wheelchair cars
Jose Peterson
Noice. I know a carpenter that uses one as his tool van and he has more tools than what I have seen people fit on utility trucks.
Brody Ramirez
very slow cars with a shit load of different trims and versions so the year you get is REALLY important to pay attention to.
As you stated, if you can get the awd manual then it's a nice little "bread truck" but kind of rare and alot of people who have them don't wanna get rid of them. run forever desu
Evan Davis
I only ever see Dodge Caravans for that
Jeremiah Turner
>invited to go on a road trip
>forced to sit on the floor
t-thanks friend
Daniel Evans
does anyone else hate these guys
Sebastian Taylor
No one sat on the floor during the road trip, just saying it has room for 6 people
Ian Jones
I kind of hate them but any modicum of production value on car reviews immediately puts them into the top 1% of car youtubers... also being able to actually get cars to review.
Connor Clark
Biggest piece of junk Honda made. Engine ok, but every one I've ever been in the interior was falling apart. Like everything plastic was broken
Daniel Thomas
it's not hard to see how the whole "ethics in games journalism" came about and i see it in the youtube car review community in spades. to get these expensive ass cars to review, most car reviewers get them from the dealers or companies directly as loaners for review, and i've noticed they rarely say damning things about the cars because if they do, they won't get cars to review in the future and their little youtube cottage industry is dependent on it.
the exceptions being demuros model where he gets viewers cars, but on the reviews where he talks about cars he gets from dealers, even i notice they are more glowing than usual. if regualar car reviews actually did a review it would be an awesome channel
Matthew Russell
butt ugly car, seriously what the heck is wrong with the person who came up with the desgin, 'hmm an asymmetrical shaped cardboard box that's a great start for a car'
William Garcia
I like them a lot. More room inside than the CR-V (or a Tahoe if you pull the seats) Handles better than the CR-V. Indestructible K24a and 5spd manual. Raised rear seating. Trick ass seats. AWD.
One of Honda’s most unique and interesting products. Ultimately ended up being sold mostly to old single ladies with dogs.
Thinking of replacing my first gen CR-V snowbeater with one, but the CR-V is in good shape for being a 20 year old shitbox, that I can’t come up with any reason to replace it yet. But the saline Jew has been slowly creeping into the body panel joins to create the oxidized Jew, so maybe I’ll have a good reason to consider it.
Landon Ortiz
They don’t need all that extra torque!
Aaron Nelson
If your goal is to maximize how much “active xxxtrem lyfestylz SEGA!” gear into a set of HxWxL dimensions as possible, you end up with a box that matches those maximum dimensions.
It’s practical as fuck. People who buy elements don’t give a fuck about how their car looks. They value what it enables them to do.
They look a lot better with body colored painted bumpers. The unpainted blue bumpers look good too. The unpainted black bumpers look hideous. Especially on the mid 00’s era orange rust color. But who cares? It has room to keep a a dirt bike and camping gear for two in the back for a week
Grayson Bennett
unironically automotive kino
Daniel Martinez
wouldn't it be better to buy some F-2XX series and just put it one of those removable roofs in the back?
Ayden Martin
Why didn't they just sell the Crossroad instead?
Ethan Reed
DONNNY
Evan Thomas
because the Element is actually good.
Liam Wright
man fuck that ugly shit i would prefer to own a freakin sprinter van instead of that uglyness for space
Grayson Perry
Find with me insecure fuckbag
Austin Gutierrez
wut?
Jaxon Roberts
No one cares what it looks like dumbass. You saw the pic and didn't read the post.
Fuck off, illiterate dumbass.

Connor Collins
why am i insecure for not wanting to own a butt ugly car?
Cameron Fisher
Are they good first cars?
I mostly just need for college, gym and road trips
Noah Clark
it shows you care how people perceive you.
Do it.
Jeremiah Anderson
no I just don't like owning ugly things
Connor Young
why?
Carter Miller
because no
Jace Perry
but why tho?
Jackson Rivera
You really should take your meds.
user is allowed to have his opinions on an appearance of a vehicle.
Also, practicality isn't everything for deciding on an automobile.
Elijah Ross
but why?
Isaac Bailey
Because you're coming off as an super insecure child whom is trying to defend the "safe" purchase mom and dad gifted for their first car
Aiden Reed
why tho?
Nolan Jackson
I saw one sticker bombed one time
Adrian Wright
Is it not obvious?
Easton Flores
Looks like good idea badly executed
Hudson Campbell
Christian Flores
Fucking stupid things, shouldve used that money to develop a new s2000
Gabriel Rivera
You figure they would at least put a EXL-V6 trim with that engine right? Probably because the Pilot exists and they don't want that cutting sales
Brandon Brown
That's the conclusion I came to after posting, but then again it could have been like a Bronco II
Jaxon Powell
I dig this one a lot
Jonathan Cruz
Maybe a J30 but no 4wd
Justin Reed
You must be talking about Nissan's design philosophy.
Colton Carter
The Element was all Honda USA's doing; Honda Japan hated it and killed it as soon as they could.
Nolan Rodriguez
Why? They could have put RT4WD or the SH-AWD system from the RDX with the J32 in it and made it a limited edition
Jordan Bennett
if they were sold in the UK, i would have bought one as soon as it was shown on top gear, all those years ago
Lucas Rodriguez
That's because JDM weebs are fucking faggots and would rather drive something 1/3 the size and with a sub 1 liter piece of shit engine.
No wonder Japanese men are becoming impotent. Nation of fucking cucks.
ETCG has an Element and he is B A S E D.
Mason Young
Is this a good deal?
2003 Honda Element EX
Nathan Hall
what prices? mileage? transmission? FWD or AWD?
Thomas Foster
>What's Veeky Forums's opinion on the Honda Element?
for whatever reason they just scream "dyke" to me. can't explain why.
Jason Adams
Talk them down to 4500-5000
To be honest, the elements tend to hold value REALLY well, so if they won't budge, just take it.
probably because it reminds you of the Subaru Forester

I might be getting into sales with overnight travel and was thinking about getting a vehicle I could comfortably sleep in. It's this or a Prius (Prius you can run ac/heat overnight without leaving the engine running).
Are the automatics reliable? I prefer manual but wife.
Landon Thomas
>but wife.
throw her out on the freeway and suggest she's too stupid to drive a manual.
