I own an '06 EX 4wd. In my case, I like the looks of the new SC, however, it is only available in 2wd, and is not available with the sunroof. If you are ok with 2wd, I would go with the SC, and get the optional mud flaps on it, which would probably help protect the lower panels from chips.

I like the wa the sunroof is in the back and I think if I get the Element I will use it a whole lot. I do not paticulary care fo r the Sc model. I really do not like the style of it or the rootbeer color. I think for people who live in the city the SC would be fine with the 2wd, cloth seats and carpeted floors and all. But if you venture on dirt roads, or get a lot of snow and rain I would go with the EX 4wd. I think that's what I'm going to go get. I like the Kiwi Metallic and the tangerine orange. Hopefully I can go in the next week or two and get one.

Replying to: earth (Jan 24, 2007 1:15 pm) The sunroof panel is completely removable, and the Element even comes with a storage bag that the glass slides into, and there are storage hooks that then hold the bag and glass in place. With the glass removed, and the windows rolled down, there is a pretty good breeze that flows through the vehicle. Part of the reason we bought the '06 EX, was because we wanted the black side panels - and they are no longer available in the EX trim for '07. My wife sometimes has to park in a parking deck at work, and those panels seem to stand up well to doors being opened into it. I am thinking of getting a set of 18" wheels and tires for it (I think 18" is the right size for a vehicle with a high side profile like the Element), as well as adding a billet grill to the front. |

Thanks for the reply on the sunroof.  Does the bag that holds the sunroof just hook on any of the storage hooks? How do you put that screen cover in the place where the sunroof goes when the glass is out?

Replying to: ragets (Jan 25, 2007 3:05 pm) There are 4 chrome hooks that are perfectly placed for the bag to hook onto. I don't know if the Elements without the sunroof have the same hooks or not. "How do you put that screen cover in the place where the sunroof goes when the glass is out?" I don't have the shade, so I don't know. |

I read that that the sunroof can be use to stand out of when changing your clothes but I have a couple things to get straight first: 1. The tire cover is supposed to only hold around 65lbs right? 2. Wouldn't people still be able to see you changing even though the windows are dark or would you need to get the interior privacy curtain so that people could not see you changing? I really like the feature of the sunroof, but would it be possible to change clothes because of the weight limit?
