This is one of the greatest vehicles ever made. The back seats come completely out and the floor is neoprene or rubber and super easy to clean. I can fit numerous bikes in the back it is big enough for two people to sleep in the back. It does drive like a truck and is not great on gas but mine is an awd and it is great in snow. I wish they had not discontinued this line.

The Honda Element is an extremely versatile car. It can easily sit five people, but you can also take the seats out and have room for basically anything in the back of your car. When looking at the Element, some think that it's a car on the smaller side. However, I can fit my large kayak inside of it. Plus, whenever I want to go bike riding, I can just slide the bikes into the back of the car without using a bike rack. It's also a very comfortable car - I have done several road trips in this car that have spanned over a few days and it was fine. It's not an overly stylish car to some, but it is practical. While some may prefer a car with leather seats and other additions, they must also worry about keeping that car clean and making sure the leather doesn't tear. With my Element, my four dogs can easily fit in it and I don't worry about them messing up the car. If they do track mud in, the car is easily cleanable. Furthermore, I bought my Element used with 100,000 miles on it already and I have had no problems with it whatsoever. I've had it for almost four years now and the only time I've taken it into the shop is to get the oil changed and the tires rotated. It also has good fuel economy - not the best, but not the worst either. One thing to consider about this car is that the back windows don't open all the way. This can be good for people with pets or kids, but it may also be inconvenient to some.
