Honda Element Review 2011

Honda Element The Honda Element sport-utility remains one of the most distinctive and useful shapes on the road. It's relatively short -- 7 inches shorter than Honda's smallest sedan -- and surprisingly tall. But behind that cubist philosophy is a level of versatility that sets it apart from many other small wagons and compact SUVs.

Honda Element The Honda Element easily accommodates the lifestyles of all kinds of people on road and off with smooth four-cylinder power, crisp and balanced handling, and optional all-wheel-drive traction. We like it just fine for the light-duty utility it delivers for its size, but if you regularly fill the rear seats or need serious off-road/towing chops, you'd do well to check out other domestic and overseas competitors. If you do have your heart set on a new Element, though, time is running out, as 2011 marks the end of the line for the model.

Honda Element The 2011 Honda Element ranks 12 out of 23 Affordable Compact SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 60 published reviews and test drives of the Honda Element, and our analysis of reliability and safety data. The 2011 Honda Element is all about utility. If that’s what you’re looking for, reviewers say the Element will satisfy you. But, buyers looking for comfort and refinement will need to look elsewhere.

Honda Element Honda's Element is still in its first generation, introduced for 2003. It received only minor feature upgrades until 2007, when there were significant changes made. That year saw an increase of 10 hp and the introduction of the sporty SC trim level, which had a lower ride height and few unique exterior and interior styling cues. The Element also received a more efficient five-speed automatic transmission that year (prior Elements featured a four-speed auto), standard stability control and optional side curtain airbags. The SC trim level was discontinued after 2010

Honda Element The wide opening provided by the unique clamshell side doors is useful, but opening the rear doors for passengers is not always as convenient as one might think -- to open them, the front doors must be opened first, leading to some annoyance for the front occupants as they must always open their doors in order to allow people in or out. If you don't carry rear passengers often, you likely won't notice.

Honda Element The 2011 Element comes in two trims, LX and EX, both of which are available in front- or all-wheel drive (Honda calls it four-wheel drive). Be sure to check for current Honda Deals that may be available on the Honda Element. The 2011 Honda Element is little-changed from the 2010 model. If you like the Element, you'll need to buy one this year. Honda has announced that Element production will end after the 2011 model year.

Honda Element The 2011 Honda Element is comfortable for cargo, but reviewers say passengers won’t be as happy. While the seats are versatile and rugged, they’re not all that comfortable. The Element makes up for that in some respects with its generous cargo area and available dog package, which includes a built-in crate, water dish and other accessories
