At 32,000 klm's, it is eating its brakes like crazy. I expected more from Honda but have been very disappointed with this auto.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda Element?
Rubber floor mats

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda Element?
Apparently very high component failure rate. With 6,500 miles complete steering rack failure. At 22,500 miles premature right rear brake failure (right rear outboard <2.9mm, inboard ~6mm, left rear ~6mm out/inboard) requiring new pad and resurfacing.

Poor mileage for a 4-cylinder.

Oil filter on backside of engine above subframe and dumps oil all over subframe during filter change and drips oil for a couple of days after the oil change. Each oil change is very messy - more oil for your driveway.

Windshield very susceptible to stone chips and breaks.

2008 Honda Element Review:
I would not buy another Honda. The supposed product quality and product support is not there. Honda America did not care nor did they care to help investigate the premature failure.

The SC should be available in 4wd also. It is a great design that you should be able to dress up, if you want...
