The quirky, loveable 2008 Honda Element is back and stronger and more stylish than ever. Originally designed to appeal to a young crowd, the Honda Element has not only won over the 20-something crowd, but has also gained a surprisingly significant following in the older set.
The most obvious reason for this is the practicality, performance and customizability so inherent in the vehicle's design. Spacious cabin, large entries, and removable/flexible seating are just a few of the things that make the Element so darn accessible. All the flexibility in its features proves the Honda Element was built from the ground up specifically for people with active lifestyles. Thanks to this ingenious concept, you'll find all it takes is a few seconds to determine how easy it is going to be to fit what you need to fit into its spacious interior- be it the kids, the sporting equipment or the bulky shopping packages from a day of diligent shopping.
As for performance, you'll find the Honda Element to be peppy and responsive. The 4-cylinder 166 horsepower engine gives enough "umph" when you need it, and the torque is quite impressive for the engine, thanks in part to the dual overhead cam aluminum alloy build and the 2.4 liter displacement. I-VTEC valce control system rounds out the performance magic by improving drivability at whatever speed you choose to cruise at.
Safety is, of course, in the lofty realms you'd expect in any Honda. Dual-stage, dual threshold airbags, side-impact door beams, and Vehicle Stability Assist are just a few of the many features Honda has implemented to protect you from the worst.
So, whether you are single or with a family, college professor or college athlete, the Honda Element will summarize the same: fun, uniqueness, spaciousness, practicality, and versatility all add up to make this vehicle one sweet winner.
