This car is great for adventures. The back of the car is pretty flat, so you can haul whatever gear you need, plus it fits a queen sized mattress. It's got all wheel drive, so I'm comfortable driving through parks or somewhat off road. It is a bit low to the ground so it feels more like a city car than an off-roader.

I really have enjoyed my Honda Element. This vehicle has been such a utilitarian vehicle to own. I can use it as a truck, SUV, all weather, or commuter vehicle. The all-wheel drive all the time allows me to take the Element anywhere in any road conditions. The back seats can come out easily to be a van. It has a tailgate like a truck. The rear doors open for wide access. The seats fold down to make a comfortable place to sleep for camping. The interior has no carpets, so it is easy to wipe down and clean. Perfect for a dog owner.
