i just bought brand new 2003 HONDA ELEMENT EX AWD orange color.auto tranny.with only fog light as an option..
$23000 out of door..which seem a good price to me..
i will post more pic once i get a digi cam
that small and cute car is pretty powerful.
with DOHC VTEC 2.4 liter and has 160 HP
multi functional purpose..really cool...
and my wife will be one who is driving it..to work and home

anyone bought the lower price than me?

 

Congrats, how old are you ? Honda was hoping to get the 20 something market, but the average age so far has been 42 !!

 

i am 27 and my wife is 25

 

Cool, you just brought the average down Good luck, i like em. Did you keep the CL ??

 

yah ..i still have the cl..and jeep..
my cl is only has about $22000 miles.
and it was bought at aug 2000

 

Must be some marketing experts at Honda/Acura

They market the Element to young people and the older crowd buys it, they marketed the CLS to older people, and the younger crowd buys it.

I'm really impressed w/ their marketing skills

 

Thats because younger people want manual trannies & lots of hp, not a box on wheels.

Sorry, but I aint feeling the Element at all. Reminds me of a kinder, more Lego-like Aztek. As long as you dig it though that's all that matters.

 

Elements are nice when they're fixed up. Saw a black one the other day with tint, dropped on rims. Pretty damn clean if u ask me and i'm in that age group (21).

 

Elements may look kinida weird, but the inside and dash is VERY functional and looks like it will hold up well.

 

I think it looks like a pontiac AzTek... Ok not that bad but it does look like a POS.

Every time I see one I look inside to see who the fuck would buy such a hideous vehicle...

 

I just got to stick my $.02 cents in on the Element... it's a boxier Aztek... another example of the complete lack of taste in automotive design. This older gentleman is repulsed by it and the other fugly SUVs. Frankly, I can't think of one that's attractive. To put it in historical perspective, the SUV is today's version of the pioneer's covered wagon (Conestoga).

I feel better now.

 

i like the element. It has grown on me. I think it'll look phatty with some rims.

 

gheesh...tell us how ya really feel

Did your parents ever tell ya the rule..:If ya don't have anything NICE to say...just don't say ANYTHING"?

Just because YOU think it is hideous does not mean it is.

Next Time...do us all a favor an Keep your shitty comments to yourself...m'kay?:P

 

 

Enjoy your new Element...

 

I think the Element is a clever design and very friendly looking.
It's a unique and integrated design concept. The Aztek was an eyesore, designed by a committee that couldn't agree on a direction so designed one piece of it at a time.

 

hey good luck with your new car, im not feelin it but im curious as to what motivated you to get it? Storage, high road feel, good gas mileage?

my cousin has one and has the roof rack. looks more sporty. he just dropped some 18s on it. he also got the orange element to.

his looks pretty pimp compared to the stock elements rolling around here.

 

Congrats on your purchase; I guess the saying "to each his own" is legit.

That's gotta be the ONLY Honda vehicle that I totally dont like.

And what is up with the box look; it wasnt too long ago that Volvo what getting kicked around for their boxy cars. And now Honda produces their box on wheels and gets raves:


then Toyota (dba Scion:


That said, I hope Nissan doesnt import their Cube from Japan:

Just my $.02

 

Element doesn't please my taste, but then again, it's not my car. Enjoy your new ride.

 

I don't like the Element for the same reason I don't like the Mercedes "G Wagon".....a box on wheels just isn't appealing to me. All automobiles need to be somewhat aerodynamic.

edit: Maybe if it didn't have all that plastic-y rubber looking stuff on the exterior....like the Chevy Avalanche. If it was all body color I think it would look worlds better.

 

Evolving Chevy Astro?

 

I like the xB. When it's dropped on rims they're tight. But i guess everybody has there own taste in style

 

Damn killa, let the boy speak his mind in peace yo

But ya, just saw one at the honda dealership and i liked it after seeing it upclose and inside

 

How could I forget the G-class!?! A $70G Box on wheels

 

pimp


type S


get sopme 19s and you will be set

 

OK, I won't say anything then . . .:P :P :P

 

 

congrats. and good luck

 

Congrats on the purchase.

 

Congrats! My friend just bought one too.


I'm just waiting for someone to wax the plastic on one
