Pros: What do you like about 2006 Honda Element?
This is one of the finest vehicles that I have owned since it is such a great companion to an active adult lifestyle. The interior is extremely roomy and the back seat passengers feel like they are in a limo due to the exceptional legroom. The ride is excellent and the engine power is more than adequate. My 11 year old daughter thinks it is totally awesome.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Honda Element?
Even thought the engine is more than adequate, maybe a little more power and a 5 speed automatic would be nice. It is my understanding that the 2007 models will have more power and a five speed automatic.

2006 Honda Element Review:
This vehicle is more than transportation. It is like having a travel companion for anyone who has an active lifestyle. This vehicle can accommodate so many variants whether is be passenger comfort, hauling the big items, or taking family/gear to an adventure site. Great vehicle and definitely worth the money.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Honda Element?
I love my honda element very much. It is perfect for me. It allows enough room for my son who is handicapped and does not like to ride in cars. He never complains. I love the rubberized flooring so he can eat and I can clean up fast. Also it is comfortable to bring my girls to college. It has plenty of room for atleast 2 trips.... of clothing and then shoes!

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Honda Element?
Blind spots are tough because of the panel. I am 5.2 and a half I am short I have to lift my body up to see to switch lanes to see out sides. The two front panals have to made thinner so that you can see around it.

2006 Honda Element Review:
I own a 2003 but will be purchasing a 2008 shortly.

Sunroof over front seat! Available leather interior. (Leather EASILY sheds dog hair!)

2006 Honda Element Review:
For what it is, it is wonderful. This is a "near" go anywhere box that comfortably carries people, dogs and stuff with unbelieveable ease. The is a station wagon, van, SUV all in one, without the disadvantages of the others.

Best Value SUV. Honda reliability.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Honda Element?
Have a sliding cover for the moonroof.

2006 Honda Element Review:
It has an insane amount of space. I bought an outdoor patio set (table + 4 chairs) from Target and it fit in the Element without me having to move anything. I just opened the front and rear doors and it slid in between the front and rear seats!

I wish it had 5 seats, but for long rides you don't want 5 people anyways. I bought it because I have a dog (55 lbs) and he fits in the cargo area just fine and most of his hair stays back there (bonus!).

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Honda Element?
I like everything so far. The most fun car I've ever had. The roominess is great, even for the driver. Back seat allows passengers to stretch out legs. I'm new to this car but couldn't be happier.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Honda Element?
Somehow allow back seat passengers to open door without waiting for front door to open.

2006 Honda Element Review:
Excellent driving feel, hugs the road and is smooth. A little bouncy but I like that.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Honda Element?
the seats do not lay flat enough to sleep on comfortably, but we take out the seats or put them up and lay egg crate foam down, under our sleeping bags and it works fine with the Cabana tent.

2006 Honda Element Review:
I love it more than any vehicle I have ever owned. (That's a LOT) Not only is it fun to drive, the colors are great and it is anything but boring. The sound system kicks butt and it's nice not to have to worry if you are going to ruin your carpet. :} My suggestion, if you want something to have fun in, BUY ONE!
