I thought so too until I got inside one.

I'm 6' 1" and was very uncomfortable in the front seat, very little leg
room.

Rear doors are a joke, need to open the front doors for access.

Bob,
Don't buy it. For many reasons, The Pilot and CR-V are much better
vehicles. The Element was poorly designed and was made as cheaply as
possible to keep the price down. It was made by Honda to compete with
Toyota's Scion xb which is also poorly designed. The Element is a very
high profile vehicle and shares the problem that many high profile
vehicles share.

It's "lower profile" than the Pilot.

Please buy a clue before posting such blather.

Re: Element
 
Bob, most people lack intelligence to provide responses one can use. I'm
6'2" 250lbs, I FIT GREAT, PLENTY OF ROOM. First, depending on what your
needs are, the Element is great for hauling stuff around and for pet's. If
you aren't in need of the carrying space (roughly with rear seats up
44"X72") then yes I would go with the CRV. It handles great in snow and
rain, holds the road rock solid and compared to our outback
quieter........... and a great sound system too

The only thing I don't like is........... The lack of storage in the front
seat area there is no usable center-console, tiny glove compartment and that
is my only complaint. If safety is an issue get a Mercedes, if carrying
capacity then I'd recommend a pickup, but for one all around kick-ass
car..... The Element!
