So, my family bought a Honda Element...

flame on. :ylsuper

[krazy skwerel]

I don't know, I would drive one.

[fiznat]

Jesus christ man. Didnt you have any say in this?!?! What the hell is going on!?!?!

pics please, this would make flaming easier.

[JDM]

I like them... :bshake

I worked for a Honda dealership, it's actually a VERY functional car, especially in AWD trim. TONS of interior room, easy controls, not too underpowered, I can wash out the damn interior with a garden hose, etc. I swear I could have moved my whole apartment with just that one car.

sounds like an overpriced uhaul to me.

I'd pimp a u-haul truck. :batman

[Mr1der]

hell yeah, I've already pimped a Mrs. Winner's box truck!

I personally like the Element, though I'd want the higher horse AWD model, I find the almost entirely waterproof interior a plus, imagine the ease of clean up if you were to make a p0rn site that revolved around having sex while going down the road, or uh....just got in it really muddy...

the lack of a b pillar when all 4 doors are open is neat to

[krazy skwerel]

Is it built on a chassis or is it unibody?

[Jesda]

The Element needs less plastic and less halfass marketing to "Gen-Y". The purchasers are middle aged women and even older men. No one I know would ever buy one. The folks I know are 18-30 -- the target audience.

personally, i like it...everything trpower7 says is true...we have an AWD Ex model...it's quite nice, pulls nicely when u get on it...dosent roll too much considering it's size...great sound system for a sub 20k car...i love that waterproof thing...i drooled on a seat to test it while we were at the dealership...my dad smacked me :pface

all in all...it's the new-school shaggin wagon

[[Zero-S]]

WHAT!? HEATHEN!!

Hope it all works out with the element...good mini suv.

[Mr1der]

it's probably a unibody, like a new version of the CR-V, but I really don't know, just an uneducated guess

[trpower7]

It's a unibody, on the CRV platform. No B-pillar, etc, interior is nicely equipped (certainly no UHAUL), I think it could be crazy functional for peopel that use it that way.

[Onizuka]

I wouldnt mind having one for camping, trips to the junkyard, off road hooliganism, etc....

[BadMojo]

I find them extremely ugly, but other than that it seems like a nice, functional car. Honda has a well-deserved reputation for reliability, and resale value should be good a few years down the road.

Personally, I'd do something else with my ~$20K, but then again I'm not in the market for a small SUV-ish thing.

[MainEvent212]

yeah...we were unfortunately..

i tried to tell them that an EVO holds lots of stuff....but they didnt bite it lol

bastards

true, the first $20,000 i get is going towards a R32 GT-R or some other sport car.

[BadMojo]

It doesn't hold as much stuff, but your stuff gets where it's going REALLY REALLY FAST!

[[Zero-S]]

IE in the time it takes your element to make 1 trip full of crap the evo can make 3 trips and still haul the same amount;)

[Onizuka]

this comparison really doesnt make any sense, a sub $20K mini-SUV vs a 27K turbo sport sedan. If your in the market for a little cargo hauler, your not going to buy a EVO or anything remotely similar.

[[Zero-S]]

I know we were just kidding around jeez.

[Mr1der]

it has water proof interior.

WATERPROOF INTERIOR!!!!!

I hope the back seats fold into a bed like the old conversion vans...

[lessthanjakejohn]

USE 10w-30 OIL

Honda recommends that you use 5w-20, HOLY ****!!!!

[Mr1der]

think I'd use the recommended oil personally, the damn thing should be under warranty

[lessthanjakejohn]

for like 3 yrs, or something rediculous like that...

[Mr1der]

better than what I got on my car though

Way I see it, that's three years to do some ragging out on it

being a damn honda, it should hold up ok other than axles

[lessthanjakejohn]

but still use a 10w-30 if you want to keep your engine more than 70k miles

[MainEvent212]

84 months :ylsuper

and the seats do fold into a bed...lol it's sweet

yet to christen it though :pface...that's this weekend...

[MainEvent212]

lol no not really 84 months...BUT it is something ridiculous....

i think 6 years? lol 72 months
