Honda Element 2009 Review

MSRP $20,275 - $25,770
The 2009 Element is a 4-door, 4-passenger sport-utility, available in 10 trims, ranging from the LX 2WD 5-Spd... read more AT to the SC 2WD 5-Spd AT w/Navigation System.

Upon introduction, both trims are equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 166-horsepower engine that achieves 20-mpg in the city and 25-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.
I enjoy taking it to the beach, no better beach vehicle out there in my opinion. Load it up with all your stuff including surf board on top with special roof racks. Bicycles roll in standing up without having to take anything apart. Great for a business car as well, moved 30 by 60 desks from one location to another and can close the tail gate behind it. Plenty of room for moving file boxes from one location to another. I find the car confortable and I like the look of it, they say beauty is in the beholder. Oh did I say I love the tail gate, have had many enjoyable lunches sitting on my tail gate.
