 Formaccino's recommendation | |
Sooo adaptable for all uses. Superb iVtec 2.4 power unit.Only needs oil/inspection service before 110,000 mile 1st service. Excellent sound system.
Causes too much interest on the road. Left Hand Drive could be a problem for some. Only four seats.
I have owned this wonderful vehicle for 1 year. The Honda Element can be adapted for use as a van, camper-van (with seats down as beds), or just a comfortable cruiser. The rear seats easily un-clip and remove to make a large van carrying area for transporting all those DIY materials, or even take bikes standing up. The whole interior is washable, and has incredible access with the side doors opening out with no centre post. I am getting about 28mpg on a run, and could probably do a little better if I kept to 70mph. The "Real Time" 4wd helps to give good economy, but is reassuring to have on some of the muddy tracks I drive on. To date the UK Honda dealer has been very enthusiastic about the Element, and has only charged £52 for oil and filter change including even washing it!
