#4612 of 4704 RE: Element vs CR-V .... [david_wayne] by 1racefan Mar 12, 2007 (3:42 am)
Replying to: david_wayne (Mar 09, 2007 1:04 pm) " did invest in a divider, just to make sure the dogs stayed in the back, which was a big help but I don't leave it in the car all the time. (It leaves marks on the ceiling)"   I bought a piece of dense foam, about 1/2" thick, and I then cut a couple of smaller pieces out of it. I put a piece of foam between the ceiling, and the tensioner bars - this seems to eliminate marks on the ceiling.   In my opinion, the Element is a great vehicle if you don't own a truck. This past weekend, I took the rear seats out, and took it to the garden center and bought 30 bales of pine needles (20 in 1 trip, and 10 in the second). It only took me about 30 minutes worth of cleaning to get the interior looking brand new again. All I had to do was vacuum the inside, and wipe down the interior and floor with a damp rag - I also had to lift up the floor panel that covers the spare tire, and vacuum down in there. I then reinstalled the custom carpeting panel I mentioned earlier, and put the seats back in. I was literally done in 30 minutes.

Replying to: applejf (Jul 11, 2006 1:29 pm) I bought a 2006 element and have never had a windshield crack before now. That is the only thing i don't like about the element so far and wonder if others are having the same problem or is it just me winning the lottery over and over again?!!! oh yea.....the clock could be a bit larger for my middle aged eyes Replies to this message: pinto00 (Mar 23, 2007 10:03 am)
#4614 of 4704 windshield crack by 151ranch Mar 16, 2007 (1:40 pm)
Any vehicle with a flatter windshield will crack more easily. Jeep Wranglers are especially prone to chips. I believe the 03 (and maybe the 04) Elements had a faulty windshield clip? that made the windshield more prone to cracking and Honda would replace these.   We have 85k on our 04 and have fortunately had to replace only once. We have gravel/rock quarries very close so it is very common for us to get chips.
#4615 of 4704 PLEASE, Honda ... by rog96 Mar 18, 2007 (12:29 pm)
Put your new turbo diesel with tiptronic in the Element soon! I drive a Sprinter at work (turbo 5 cyl w/tiptronic) and it is quick and efficient - for a delivery van. Relatively quiet too.

Replying to: troubledog (Mar 13, 2007 3:26 pm) If any consolation, my 06 Element with 7K miles thus far used up two wind shields already. It's same route to work everyday, the wind shield on my previous two cars last 100K with no issue. With Element, I tried stay under 65 m/h to minimize possible impact, but to no effect. Now I just drive with a cracked wind shield and be done with it.
#4617 of 4704 GOT MY ELEMENT! by ragets Mar 23, 2007 (11:56 am)
I just got my deal done and made and I'm getting a 2007 Honda Element EX 4wd. It's silver and TOTALLY awesome. I'll probably go get it next week sometime. Tell you guys about it later.

#4619 of 4704 4wd v. 2wd by holdie1 Mar 30, 2007 (2:10 pm)
Hi all.   I'm looking at the element, and I'm curious what folks think about the 2wd versus 4wd. I don't feel like i NEED the 4wd per se (not driving in snow, over mountains, etc.) so i guess i'm feeling like i'm inclined not to pay for it. but thought i'd throw it out to the group.

I have a brand new 07 LX that I love. My only concern is in backing up, I don't feel comfortable with not being able to see well out the back. Has anyone installed a backup sensor? If so, what have you used? I am not real crazy about drilling holes in the bumper so I was thinking about a license plate mounted one. I have found one on the net for about $150 but I know nothing about them so I am leery about just jumping out and buying one.

Replying to: holdie1 (Mar 30, 2007 2:10 pm) How much snowfall do you get in your area per year?   Do you drive on the beach?   Do you drive on dirt or gravel roads often?   If not, FWD costs less and saves gas. But if you can justify the AWD, it's a more complete vehicle and will likely be easier to re-sell later.
