The end of my Blazer hell.

Well folks, I finally found an Element that I liked. I made a post a while back saying I was gonna get rid of the P.O.S. and yesterday 12/17/05 I did. It's a 2003 Honda Element EX it's fully loaded with a few add-ons. It has the side steps, window vent visors, rear wing, bug shield and a bug screen on the sunroof. I will post pics as soon as I get them off my camera.

Here is what she looks like. I got an awsome deal and I got them to give me a 7 year 100,000 mile warrenty for half price.

You have betrayed us all!!!!!

j/k

Not bad. I was never a fan of the Elements but a new vehicle is a new vehicle. Congrats

I love 'em and have since the first day I saw them!!! I've never driven one - how does it feel power wise? My wife thinks I'm nuts.

It's a little quicker than I expected and handles tons better than my old Blazer. It's rated at 158 horses and 160 ft lbs of torque.

We bought one 5-6 months ago where I work. It is used to deliver electrical supplies, along with several GM full size vans. My boss opted to buy it as our current trucks avg. 165K miles on them and gas is a concern more than ever. The only gripes so far is not enough room to haul longer items, and original tires only lasted 30K. May have just been crappy tires. Other than that it runs and drives pretty well. I notice more of our customers buying them too, instead of full size vans.

well if you think a new vehical will fix your automotive problems, then good luck to ya, never been a big fan of the elements, but that one looks better then the rest... what i wanna see pix of is that ram charger, you want power, its in that, as good ol uncle dave alwase says, 'onlything faster then a mopar is a moterola'

Glad its you and NOT me . No amount of ground effects and change the card board box image to me . But each to our own . You will probably enjoy long lasting reliability and economy . I would rather have an S2000 though . But I am not a minivan type of guy . Rob

Good luck with your new car man... While I deplore the element's myself (look horrible) I hope you enjoy it....

Quite the accessary combo, I don't understand the WING on a box.... :lol2:

The Pilot looks so much better in my opinion...(Just my opinion)

I wasn't real sure about the wing either until it started raining and the window didn't get covered in road grime.

dmbrisket 51, I'll try to get pics of the Ramcharger tomorrow (12/21/05) and post it up.

jsgold, It probably was the type of tires. Mine has Goodyears and they are wearing even but quickly.
