Juice - I think C&D came to the opposite conclusion. I think the 4X4 they tested was a Rover, but I can't recall the Blizzak-shod 2WD opponent. Both CR's and C&D's are probably valid tests, just different conditions.   Bigkahunafl - I don't think it's an OEM accessory, but you can try Handaaccessories.com. FWIW, I've read articles describing how to create your own mesh covers. The best looking one I've seen used gutter-guard material with a nice aggressive-looking diamond pattern. I've also seen an "Element of the month" with two riveted metal plates up front.   Send me an e-mail for details.
#2582 of 4704 2WD vs. Snow tires by zenzikora Aug 21, 2003 (10:00 am)
perhaps one magazine used a FWD with snow tires, and the other a RWD? I think FWD with snow tires is pretty easy to deal with in the snow, our big RWD van was OK probably because we took it easy and had enough weight to keep the tires planted, and the Mid-Rear Fiero was awful on only 1 inch. I have never driven AWD in the snow, so I figure I'll be fine with Front and snow tires.

Probably depends on what all-season tires you compare the winter tires to. There are good and bad all-season tires.   I'd still pick good all seasons with AWD over FWD with snow tires.   -juice

I probably would too, if I had an extra $1400 to spend, instead of the few hundred for snow tires, but I don't, so I figure I'm better of dealing with FWD and not spoiling myself . . . Haven't crashed or gotten stuck yet, though I had a rough time once before I got snow tires on going up a steep hill from a standstill. And I don't stay home when it snows either, unless it's really bad.
#2585 of 4704 Element accessories? by kjab Aug 25, 2003 (2:03 pm)
I'm wondering about the cabana. Is it worth the $? I go camping often and thought this might be worth trying out, but will skip it if too complex to set up or too flimsy. Also, how about that armrest console - seems like we could use a few more storage spots. Has anyone installed one?   I bought a 4WD EX green a few weeks ago and am really enjoying it! Everyone I show it to loves it too.   Thanks for any feedback.
#2586 of 4704 Response to Wyoreb by rockymtelement Aug 26, 2003 (2:54 pm)
Ok, this is a late response, but better late than never. Yes, I am actually in Colorado. I bought my Element at John Elway. Good experience there over all. I'm moving to Arizona this week however, so will need to find a service center there.   Had the Element for 3 months now (3400 miles) and still love it. It's great for my family of three and any outings we take.
#2587 of 4704 Where a good pictures? by s852 Aug 26, 2003 (7:10 pm)
Where are some good high-res photos clearer and larger than what you can see on the Honda.com web site?

hi folks,   this is my first time posting a message, because i am quite intimidated by writing/chatting online in open forums, particularly when everyone is seemingly so well informed and you(that'd be me)don't know much about anything. anywho, i will try to be brief, though i probably won't be:o/... i'm a working class, middle aged broad that does not purchase a car every 4-5 years, vowed to never ever purchase a brand new car again, and is(was)quite happy to be rollin' in my PAID FOR! hooptie...that is...until i saw the ad for this stupid car in nov'02...i was pretty much done for...by dec'02 i learned of this discussion board and i've been checking in ever since...thankfully you guys talked me down from my Element induced high that had me wanting to buy the first one off the production line(lack of funding is a pretty good buzz-buster also:o|)...blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda...okay, so today i signed about ten undotted lines for a: EX 2WD Automatic(G/Green) Fog Lights Wheel Locks Splash Guards TOTAL sale price: 20,600.00   so, from 1 to 10, ten being "You go girl!" and one being "Dude, you got jacked!"...send me a some numbers kindly people...   thanx in advance for all of your input, because i probably won't be back...again this was my first time In Life! jumping on one of these thingys and i am really just completely out of my element:o|...yes, cheesey pun one could see coming from down the block and around the corner was fully intended...tee hee...sorry folks...thanx again...okay...bye...

Oh no, you can't just fade back into the woodwork again now that you own one of these practical vehicles! Let us know how it goes with it!   I can't give you any idea about what type of deal you got compared to other people - I haven't talk money to anyone yet. However, here's how I think about it: if you want that particular vehicle more than you want the dollars, then you've done the right thing. I love my 5 year old (and also paid for) Wrangler and while I only got a fair, not great, deal on it, it has been worth every cent I paid for it. We also own a 2000 Tacoma, which I dislike intensely. I got an excellent "deal" on it but for me it certainly isn't worth the money I'm paying for it. If I could afford to take a huge loss on it, I would dump it in a heartbeat, but it isn't yet worth what I owe on it, and I can't afford to take such a hit.   Bottom line is if you are happy with the vehicle, you got a good deal.
