Anyone have a Honda Element?
Wife wants to get rid of her 03 F250 and get a new Honda Element - I told her she can have anything she wants and thats what she picked (?). The trucks her daily driver/commuter and we only utilize it for Home Depot runs and plowing our driveway since the boat sold. She wants an Element and I'm looking for experiences with them - do they run well, any quirks?
Thanks,
Thanks,

A guy I work with has one, and it has given us endless ammunition for ripping on him...
He loves the car though; says the best thing is he can take the family and dog to the beach, spill drinks and food in it, and then hose the whole thing out.

we have had them traded in, they seem decent and have some cool features, like the back seats how they fold out of the way and it is still a honda so it should be solid

as long as I can fit trash cans in the back and get fertilizer home from HD I'm fine with it. So who wants to buy a truck?

The PT Cruiser, the Chevrolet HHR, the Ford Edge, the Honda Element, and the Scion xB, are all very similar in nature, build, design and driving position. Make sure she takes a look at all them before she purchases. Jeep and Subaru have models that fit this mold too. She may even dig the new 4-door Jeep Wrangler.
As goofy as they look, the PT Cruiser and the Chevrolet HHR are both quite comfortable. I have rented a few of each when on travel. They all could use more power, but that's because we are all used to more power.

A co-worker of mine has one for himself, and one for his wife. They're great just like everyone else has said. The new SC's that are out are really cool looking, but they only come in 2WD and without a sunroof.

PT Cruiser = pale of chit. Our office had a one for deliveries and I had the displeasure of driving it once it had 20K on it. rattle box / tin can. jonyb the Sc does now come in 4wd with sunroof now but I read the ride is extra harsh. My wife couldn't care less about the sporty trim package and all the extras. Thanks
