The Element was made from 03 till 2011, I was eyeballing some CRV's for the wife but they still make those, so we both liked this sweeet 07 AWD in Atomic Blue beach go'er

As I say to my wife when we spot one on the street; "those people are in their own element."  It usually gets either an eyeball roll or a pinch....or both.  Roll Eyes

These things are so versatile! I also like the funky look. And it's a Honda, so you better like it since it will run forever.

What engine do they have in them, always been curious 'cuz there's a couple in our 'hood and they've had them since new. Their kids run the crap out of them. One is an early model, easily spotted by the blacked out trim on the sides as opposed to the painted version in your photos.

Powered by the inline 4 cyl 2.4 L  DOHC V-Tech, it is surprisingly powerful and torquey. equipped with a timing chain to last and only requires an occasional valve adjustment and tune ups, all of which this one owner vehicle had every service/batteries/tires and recalls done religiously at the dealer. I didn't even blink at the 142k miles and they still warranty it for 3yr/36month. Only 8k miles on Michelin Latitude Tours. The 5 speed auto tranny shifts smooth and deliberate. This Element should fit my wife's needs very well. The back seats fold up along side of the windows, I think you could put a washer/dryer in there.!  Shocked

I've just started looking at the Element as a replacement for the PT.They seem to be almost bulletproof,like our Phat Ladies.Just trying to find one that will fit in our budget.They seem to have all the features Shiela would like,lots of room and small footprint.Good choice sixlow.
