Miles Overview
The Element is Honda's boxy, utilitarian SUV, a favorite for outdoor types who need a washable cabin and a flat floor. It feels more like a truck than a car, with a tall stance and a ride that's on the firm side, but the steering is direct and it's genuinely fun in the corners. The cabin is the star: the rear seats fold flat or flip up against the walls, the floor is rubber and hose-out easy, and there's room for bikes, furniture, even a mattress. Owners report the Element is extremely reliable, with many past 200,000 miles; the common gripes are door locks that wear out and a few reports of starters failing. The EX is the mid-range trim, adding AWD and a few convenience items over the base DX while skipping the top trim's extra gear. Its 2.4L I4 makes 160 horsepower and 161 lb-ft of torque, paired with a five-speed automatic and all-wheel drive that gives you sure-footed traction in rain or light off-road use, though it returns 20 mpg combined.
