Dragongyrl18 Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I work for Honda Dealership in Miami FL. The element is going to be a great SUV for a low income family. They are expecting it at a price range of $16000 and maybe a little more depending on any extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragongyrl18 Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 I think the element is OK not a biggie. Yeah it is a little bigger than the CRV but smaller than the PILOT. and very economical too. I want to be one of the first to try it out. Before it comes out to the market the salespeople have a chance to go test drive it and learn more about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG7 Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Ehh, I remember back when that was still a concept years ago, and I had hoped it wouldn't come out, lol. Anyway, I just hate SUVs, trucks, whatever. The Element is no exception I've found... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksaint Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Agreed, I find most SUVs and Minivans for soccer moms and stay at home dads, especially those damn tanks.. err I mean Escalades and Navigators... Come on now. Drive a bus while you're at it. I know the station wagon went out a long time ago but if I get hit by a soccer mom while she's yapping on her cell phone, ALL hell is going to break loose. Yeah, um, the Element is okay.

MIntegraD Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 i think it would be a great car for people on big college campuses. I could've moved my stuff from apt to apt or back home in a thing like that a few years ago if I had one. It would've been so convenient. It looks like a great car suitable for some of my long road trips too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImportGirl82 Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 i saw it in person....ehhhh.. at least from the outside it is... today when i get my car serviced i going to look inside of it....but my opinion it ugly, but thats what i said about my civic at first i guess it has to grow on you for a while...I like the doors though they open in the middle...

optional187 Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 about how the doors open...how did they make it safe enough for a t-bone crash? i mean, think about it. what if some drunk a-hole runs a redlight and hits you square, your kid in the backseat would be dead. but...didn't honda do something to the doors to make them safe?

ImportGirl82 Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 i not quite sure about that when i go down to the dealer i will give you more specs about it.i got to get me a new panel and a light fixed..

They had to beef up the sides and openings to reduce flex as well as support any side impact. Which is one of the main reason the thing is so heavy. Yet does pretty well against a PT Cruiser (not the PT Turbo). Oh well, I wouldn't mind having this car oh about 5 years ago when I was changing apts ever year and pretty much a road trip every semester to NorCal...ugh. I would have no use for it now tho...
