The Honda Element easily accommodates the lifestyles of all kinds of people on road and off with smooth four-cylinder power, crisp and balanced handling, and optional all-wheel-drive traction. That was really nice and very good, we like it just fine for the light-duty utility it delivers for its size, but if you regularly fill the rear seats or need serious off-road/towing chops, you’d do well to check out other domestic and overseas competitors.
As opposed to a conventional four-door setup, the Honda Element has “clamshell” rear doors that pivot backward a full 90 degrees. Without a B-pillar to intrude, opening both side doors creates an extra-large portal through which you can easily load passengers or bulky cargo. This car is really comfortable, in back, the tailgate lowers like a pickup’s and is split from the upper glass. Although the theater-style rear seats aren’t a breeze to get out of (the front doors have to be opened first), they provide plenty of visibility and legroom and can be configured in multiple ways. And with the rear seats removed, you’ve got an impressive 75 cubic feet of cargo space to play with. For me this is my best choice this is really good and really good looking.
