  Honda Element Overview - Edmunds.com
According to Honda, the Element leverages its versatility and optional all-wheel drive into the ultimate niche vehicle for active young adventure-seekers and their toys.
The Honda Element is a compact, car-based SUV that comes in three trim levels: regular LX, the upgraded EX and the special SC.
Honda's Element is still in its first generation, but was significantly updated in 2007, its fifth year.

 Honda Element - Wikicars
Honda took a bit of a chance with the Element's quirky, unconventional exterior stylings, but with design elements created to fit an active lifestyle, it became a popular vehicle.
A 10 hp increase to the engine is expected, along with a 5-speed automatic transmission, and an Integrated Seat Belt System on the front seats that allows rear seat occupants to exit the vehicle without the need for a front occupant to disconnect his or her seatbelt.
Powering the Element is Honda's K24A4 i-VTEC 2.4 L four-cylinder engine that also sees duty in the Accord and CR-V. For the Element's purposes, it produces 156 hp at 5500 rpm and 160 lb-ft of torque at 4500 rpm.

  2003 Honda Element Road Test Review - ROAD & TRAVEL Magazine
Honda's own hype calls it a "multipurpose adventure tool," but you might be inclined to think of it as the Swiss Army Knife of vehicles.
Honda claims the Element was designed by a bunch of 20-something California surfer dudes for other 20-something surfer dudes.
Honda says the tailgate is so strong that it can support the weight of two 200-pound adults.

 Honda Element EX - Reviews / Road Tests - Car and Driver - February 2003
According to Honda, the Element's element is the 22-year-old single male who is hip, social, well-traveled, and loves extreme sports such as surfing and snowboarding — a demographic Honda has had difficulty luring.
Honda claims the resulting chassis resists bending better than the CR-V, nearly matches it in twist resistance, and is strong enough to achieve a five-star side-impact rating.
Honda says Elements haul an extra 250 pounds compared with similarly equipped CR-Vs. To compensate for the added weight, Honda shortened the gearing, increased roll stiffness, and upped the damping levels of the suspension.

 The Seattle Times: Motoring: Honda's Element appeals to young and old, but has room for improvement
The Honda Element began life as the Model X, a concept vehicle that made the auto-show rounds in 2001 to a generally warm reception.
With the Element, Honda management just knew it had a vehicle that would appeal to the youth market.
And though the Element did find a market with some young, active-lifestylers, it sold much better than Honda thought it would to older customers, who liked that it was comparatively cheap and hauled a lot of stuff.

 Honda - Press Releases - 2007 Honda Element SC Prototype Emphasizes Style and Performance
An all-new urban-oriented counterpart to the Honda Element will debut this fall with an exclusive sport suspension, larger wheels and tires, unique styling and special features like a carpeted interior and a center console, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today at the 2006 New York International Auto Show.
"The Element SC prototype is the city-dwelling, style-conscious brother of the original Element," said Dick Colliver, executive vice president of American Honda.
The 2007 Honda Element also introduces an Integrated Seat Belt System on the front seats that allows rear seat occupants to exit the vehicle without the need for a front occupant to disconnect his or her seatbelt.

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on 2004 Honda Element at Epinions.com
Despite the heavy use of plastic, the Element is not nearly as widely reviled as the Aztek.
As in other Honda all-wheel-drive vehicles, the front wheels get all the engine’s power until they slip, when the rears are automatically engaged.
Bottom line: the Element is no steal, but if the exterior and sluggish acceleration don’t scare you away then neither should the price.

 2006 Honda Element Reviews
Honda's simple, quirky compact SUV is boxy but versatile and practical: Just hose it out if it gets soiled inside.
Mechanically, the Element is rather basic, and perhaps that adds to its appeal as a funky no-nonsense form of transportation.
An urbanized version of the Element with sportier wheels, suspension and trim was announced at the 2006 New York International Auto Show and is set to debut as a 2007 model.

 First Drive: 2003 Honda Element
Honda was overwhelmed with favorable public reaction to the boxy, two-tone wagonlike vehicle with barn-door-style doors that opened up like those on a 1966 Lincoln Continental.
The Element should be frugal with fuel compared to a thirsty SUV, as mileage ratings range from 20 mpg city/23 mpg highway for an AWD with manual to 21 city/25 highway for a FWD with the automatic.
Heading down to the beach, we subjected the Element to severely broken pavement which was absorbed without so much as a shudder from the Honda nor gritted teeth from the passengers.

 usnews.com: Auto reviews: Honda Element (1/23/03)
Honda designed the sub-$20,000 Element to appeal to the hip young males who are the brand's most elusive customers.
I tried to explain that the Element isn't for them–and the more I drove it, the more I came to suspect that Honda is deliberately spurning boomers' tastes.
All in all, the Element is further evidence that youth is wasted on the young.

 2003 Honda Element Road Test   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Essentially, the Honda Accord is a car your parents drive – the Buick Estate Wagon or Ford LTD for the modern era.
Kudos to Honda for deciding to build the Element in the first place; the Honda Model X was a cool concept, but like most concept cars, no one thought it would make it to the streets in such an unmolested form.
The Element is a bold step in exactly the right direction, and at the same time is a throw back to Honda’s early days in America.

 2003 Honda Element Review - The Car Connection
Honda’s lineup is transparent: the buying public clearly knows exactly what each vehicle is, for whom it is built and why Honda is building it.
Honda thinks the Element is the perfect adventure machine for young males with extreme sports lifestyles that tend to wear hip sunglasses and give the thumbs-up to each other as the drive from one radical event to another.
Honda has been roundly criticized for its conservative styling in recent years and, more than anything else, one gets the feeling that the Element exists so that Honda can prove to itself that it’s capable of taking chances and being stylish.

 2005 Honda Element Review, Prices, Photos: New Car Test Drive
The Honda Element is the versatile box of motor vehicles, combining unique and practical features with a kind of military/utilitarian chic.
Honda says the Element was designed specifically for young adventurers who need to haul wet or messy gear, like you can in a pickup, but with the security of an enclosed cargo area, like an SUV's, plus car-like performance and economy.
Element's durable, scratch-resistant interior is a big part of its charm.

 2008 Honda Element Expert Reviews
The four-seat Element received a raft of changes last year (see a side-by-side comparison with the 2007 model), including updated styling and a beefier drivetrain.
Pushed hard in turns, the Element's front-heavy weight distribution can easily send the front wheels plowing wide — it's known as understeer, which is to be expected in a front-wheel-drive car.
Honda has already done so with the redesigned CR-V, and it's disappointing that the company didn't use the Element's restyling to warm it up a bit.

Introduced for the 2003 model year, the Element is Honda’s interpretation of a crossover SUV which Honda describes as a multi-functional and versatile light-duty truck.

 2005 Crossover Vehicle Buyer's Guide - Honda Element - ROAD & TRAVEL Magazine
Maybe it's elemental whether Honda's punky Element will remain a big, boxy customizer special, or whether it will get more mainline trappings during an expected upcoming design makeover.
Honda has trimmed out the Element nicely for '05, making front side airbags and XM Satellite radio standard on the higher-end EX model, while adding tailpipe finishers and two new composite body panel colors (fl and blue) for added two-tone effects.
We think those are added primary reasons for considering the Element, already loaded with standard equipment, that - tops - still squeaks in under a 20 'thou base.
