I am in the market for a new vechicle... what do you think of the Honda Element?

Since it's debut in 2003 they have had there share of problems,What you need to find out is if Honda is making this Vehicle, One of there SUV or Mini vans was made by some one else.The problems they have had where things,common to many Elements,such as: interior front seats back squeaking,Headlamps,setting a code,anti theft system arming itself,Child seat anchor button missing,door lock cylinder bind,DRIVER SEAT RATTLES,front brake clicking noise,now these problems may be gone by 2007,but knowing manufactures,you need to research,and I mean by talking to owners,or the dealer ship technicians.The dealer ship won't tell you.Any vehicle you think of buying,look at the history,and talk to people that own the vehicle in mind.If it hasn't been on the road long or first time made stay away.Know what factories are noted for , such as Honda-Civic Toyota-corolla, Nissan Sentra, now the Altima,GMC-trucks Volvo-Safety BMW-Handling,and so on....The Volvo SUV is what I would buy.It all depends on what makes you happy.OH! Subaru-4 wheel drive. My fingers hurt BYE.

a rapid LESSON...................... I comprehend which you extremely do no longer CARE THAT I even have been interior the automobile fix enterprise FOR OVER 37 YEARS and that i've got considered extra desirable than you will EVER SEE. no longer ALL HONDA AND TOYOTA autos seem undesirable yet i seem on the proportion OF maintenance and how long A motor vehicle WILL final. THE element AND RIDGELINE are actually not the ideal finding by potential of far however the ACCORD AND THE CIVIC ARE very solid finding AND final an exceedingly long term while each of the maintenance is finished. THE TOYOTA YARIS AND SCION ARE VERY grotesque purchase THE CAMRY AND THE COROLLA ARE very solid finding AND final an exceedingly long term while each of the maintenance is finished. THE HYUNDAI OR KIA could seem advantageous however the actuality is they're the main important PIECE OF JUNKS obtainable and human beings save procuring THEM AND AFTER the guaranty IS OVER, VERY very few WILL EVER fix THEM and that they entire next TO 0 RESALE fee. NISSAN IS an exceedingly solid finding motor vehicle yet VERY high priced to repair. MAZDA AND MITSUBISHI autos somewhat final previous 70,000 MILES AND in the event that they MAKE which you would be able to wager that they are SMOKING LIKE JUVENILE delinquent. undergo in suggestions that seems are actually not each little thing and human beings desire good autos THAT final. purchase despite you prefer yet in addition undergo in suggestions "which you would be able to pay ME NOW OR PAY ME LATER".

Honda's are very good quality vehicles that will run a very long time with proper maintenance.

A very similar vehicle is the Scion xB though I'm not sure if they make it in orange.

Assuming you live in the U.S., where they're temporarily not available, wait for the January '08 return of the VW Diesels -- Jetta, Golf, etc. Once you've owned a diesel car . . . at least the VW TDI's . . . you'll never go back to gas.

i recommend a dodge calibur, and or santa fe or the element is ok
