So I am getting my Civic serviced on Saturday at Tempe Honda. I decide I wanna look at the Civic Si. They want 4k over sticker for them. Screw that monkey BS.

I did however look at and drive an Element SC. It drove great. It has a great stereo system. It looks nice and I am kind of thinking forward because my family bought a flower shop here in Phoenix and I am going to be needing to be doing deliveries from time to time. I am thinking yes.

It gets relatively the same mileage and my current Civic. The salesman quoted me $22936 plus TTL.

Thoughts?

 

other than it is a horribly ugly car?

none, though I hear they're awkward to drive

 

I was actually impressed when I drove the Element. The thing is lowered and it just held on and zipped around the corners. It drove really well and had pretty decent pick up for an SUV. I dont think theyre ugly.

 

The Honda Element is my secret love! I would never buy one, but if I won it on a game show I'd be the happiest man alive! I'd get the AWD v6 one! I think the plastic is hillarious and great on the oldest models and I am not too liking much the new design of the Elements now. But seriously, it one showed up on my driveway I'd take it over the civic!

Can you even mod an element?

 

sorry moog but they don't make a awd v-6 element they come with a k-24 motor in auto and 5 speed, ive driven a sc i loved it drove like a car handled very good

 

Well a man can dream, cant he? I saw v6 and then another time I saw AWD options so I figured why not! Either way, I'd take the element... are they FWD?

 

yea they are front wheel drive i think honda should have a awd v-6 option on the element

 

Sounds way too expensive for me. I remember a couple of years ago considering an Element, and price range was below 20K new...

 

Peg you can get an Element with AWD. i don't know about the V6 but i know you can get it with AWD though

 

The new one looks a lot better IMO. And of course it pinches.
