How is the Element?
I am looking to buy a new SUV. I currently own an Accord and I would like
to get another Honda. I have been doing some research on the Element, but I wanted some insight from anyone who owns one. Anything good or bad (are you happy with it?). I need to make a decision within the next few months. Thanks! BJ |

I remember when I bought my 2003 Accord, I knew more about the car's specs than the salesperson. It was actually pretty funny. They were talking about the 4-cylinder engine and trying to tell me it's specs so tried to look for a brochure to read it off to me when I just blurted it out, "2.4L 4-cyl with i-VTEC, 160 HP @ 5500 RPM and 161 LB/ft of torque @ 4500 RPM." The salesperson nearly their pants when I said that. Turned out to be a great tactic because they knew from that point on that they couldn't bullshit me. |
