Author's Review
We got our 2006 Element - an EX-P (meaning all painted) in maroon that is 4x4 - in December 2005 and fell in love with it instantly. The car drives really well, is comfortable and roomy as well. The seat are comfy, though the armrests leave a little to be desired. They just arent right. The only major downer is the noise, which isn't actually so bad if you get carpets (not the Honda kind; they dont even match0). We got a set of carpets from South Coast Accessories, and it matched perfectly (we got grey.) The current gas situation for all of us, well, stinks, and this car gets about 26-28 a gallon which isn't so bad for an SUV. We bought this car via "e-mail blast", and waited for the best offer. No haggling, no nonsense really. We got XM stereo free for 3 months, then reinstated our subscription for the $77 deal...good move, lots of choices. A lot of people have asked me my opinions of my car, and some literally look in it and stare (odd, yes) We love it, and for 20 grand you can't beat it.
