"Learn Two Ways To Buy A Used Honda Element
At Wholesale Prices!"
Well, what can we say about the Honda Element (other than that we love it)? It's classy, it's got a totally unique look, it's highly functional ... and it's a "Honda", which means it's a top quality vehicle.
Originally based on the Honda CR-V, the Element successfully debuted in 2003 with its novel interior touches and unique wagon design. With center-opening side doors, and without center body pillars, the Element was slightly taller, wider and heavier (by about 200 pounds) than the CR-V. And like the CR-V, it's equipped with a four-cylinder engine, as well as manual and automatic transmission choices.
The Element is also available in either front-wheel or all-wheel drive forms, without low-range gearing. And rather than a traditional swing-out rear door with a glass hatch, the Element sports a combination upper liftgate and drop-down tailgate. In addition, the Element's rear-hinged back doors are shorter than those in the front and can not be opened independently.
The Element seats four occupants on front bucket seats and a split bench rear seat. Weighing just 30 pounds, sections of the back bench can be swung up to the side or even totally removed for still more cargo space. AWD models include a tilt or removable glass skylight over the cargo bay.
Base DX Element models were primarily produced for individual owner personalization, coming without factory audio. These can be found in the used market with a wide array of different features.
The more uplevel EX model features a 270-watt CD audio system, cruise control, air conditioning, power mirrors, alloy wheels, and a two-tone interior trim.
Both the DX and EX models have a rubberlike textured floor, water-resistant cloth upholstery, 16 inch wheels, and four-wheel disc brakes. EX models come with standard ABS brakes and some can be found with the optional front side airbags.
Overall, we think the Element makes a solid choice for a unique and highly functional used SUV purchase. And we have two suggestions to help you save a significant amount of money when buying one:
