Questions for Elemet owners/enthusiasts

Hi.After looking at mustangs and pt cruisers,I have come to the Element.
I haven't had a test drive yet.Can you guys look over these questions and give me a little imput? I am already leaning towards the E.
  • Is the blind spot a big deal?
  • Does it really have an unlit dash?
  • Is it true that it has an easily scratched interior? This is not a big deal to me as long as they are scratches, not rips.
  • Does the wind shield “attract” rocks or get damaged a lot?
  • Lots of road noise? I can handle road noise as I am used to trucks.
  • Does the auto leave something to be desired in “power” ?
  • Does the manual tranny make for peppier ride?
  • Is the grill a big problem as far as repairs?
  • The dx doesn't come with a/c? YIKES!!
I see that there may be a few inconveniences,but I also realize that Hondas are generally reliable. I think the Elements are kind of ugly yet adorable.

I have been looking towards the 03s and 04s, but the 06 has so many upgrades/improvements that they may be hard to resist.



Thanks,Guys(Ladies)!!
