2008 Honda Element Review, Video & Pictures
Everyone knows the Honda Element for its unique rectangular shape, but only those who test drive or own one really know what it’s capable of. The adventurous soul of the 2008 Element is complimented by its love for technology and safety. The 166 hp engine gives it plenty of power, and it’s also equipped with 1,500 lbs of towing capacity for those long hauls. With the back up of Real Time 4WD, you’ll never have to worry about tackling whatever the weather may bring. The performance of the engine takes command when necessary, and balances shafts for a quiet, smooth ride. And like all Hondas, the 2008 Element has great gas mileage – up to 25 mpg highway!
For the courageous who like to take on life’s challenges, the Element offers functionality that can be found no where else. With its clamshell tailgate and its side cargo doors, the Element can provide the perfect spot to hang out and socialize with friends at a day on the beach or a tranquil resting place overlooking a magnificent view after a long climb. As an added bonus, the 2008 Honda Element allows your to lift off the removable skylight to take a breather, or simply stand up and enjoy the beauty around you, wherever you may roam.
The interior of the Element is just as versatile as the exterior. The configurable seating and the adaptable cargo design allow you to take out, flip or fold down the rear seats, adding up to 64 different space options! The black, scratch-resistant utility floor and comfortable yet water resistant seat fabric add to the flexibility of the easy-to-clean Element, so you never have to worry about dirt, stains, sand, or pets! The added natural feeling of the easy-grip shifter and the easy to read analogue gauges make you feel more at home, and the MP3 aux jack for music portability is the final touch on the versatile dream machine that is the Element. If you haven’t had the pleasure of driving or owning one of these beauties, I’d highly recommend it. The 2008 Honda Element truly is today’s perfect vehicle for the adventurous on the move lifestyles that so many of us have.

I say: “It quite simply needs a fully functional electric sun roof up front! Without that I would never own one!!!
