Ok, lots of you keep saying that the Honda Element is UGLY, but what bothers you about it really? The plastic panels? Nearly EVERY new vehicle has plastic of some kind, so why hide it? If you've ever dinged a painted fender you'll actually appreciate the unpainted panels! Painted ones require a trip to the body shop to fix, whereas with the Element the average do-it-yourselfer can replace the panel dirt cheap on a weekend!
Before you judge the Honda Element, why not test drive one?
By the way, I admit I was taken aback by the appearance of the Element when I first saw one - they are different for sure. But I've always loved the way it looks - very stunning! Once I learned about all of it's cool features (and ultimately test drove one) I knew I had to have one!!
Here are some Practical reasons to love the "E"
24 MPG, 4WD, 5 Star Front Crash Ratings, Low Insurance Rates, Excellent 5MPH bumper testing (with one of least $ amount of damage in its class!), Low Emissions LEV-2 (1/7th the pollution of a Hummer), Plenty of torque and power for normal driving (160 HP 2.4L iVTEC - Same as the one in the Accord), PROVEN Honda Reliability!!!
There are lots of vehicles on the road, some of which are practical and some which are not. For my needs, the Element is the best buy for the money, and a beautiful vehicle at that!
